So I've had grease on my arm for 2 days now, and after showering, scrubbing it with a hand cloth and hand soap, then a cloth with dish soap, and going swimming for 2 hours, its still there. Any tips on getting it off?

Get soap with a sand base in it.

You could try an equal mix of sand and detergent. Good, cheap and effective. If that fails you could also try a little petrol on an old rag and rub away.

My shop has some tan colour stuff, and we don't have a bristle brush to scrub with, and it still gets everything off no problem.

Those are the 2 products that I use after working in the garage. Scouring pads come in handy too when washing up.
