Black gloves for installing PPF?

[alassing]

Noticed from some videos, pics, and such that some installers are wearing black gloves when installing PPF.

Why? What benefit do they have? What kind are they / where do you get them?

The only reason I see myself wearing them is to help out my skin from drying up from the iso...

I've been trying to find gloves that work with PPF forever. My hands are trashed, it's even worse now that winter is here. Nothing I've found works so far. I have lotion bottles all over my dresser from trying different ones........I look like a very lonely guy.

Sometimes I wear just one wet sock when I PPF....maybe I'll try the glove thing.

Would the gloves be made from latex or silicone or some other type of material?

It seems that the glove wwould stick a little whilce you tried to run your hand on the outside. Even with the right slip solution being used.

Here is what I am up against....

 

I do a ton of PPF. Lots of RV's and good amount of cars. Lately have been working with my Doctor on why my Liver Enzyme levels are too high. We have done Ultrasounds, countless bloodwork and ruled out any meds and beer as culprit. I asked him this week if working with ISO Alcohol daily to the point of my hands looking like prunes would have anything to do with it. He said for sure, enough ISO alcohol absorption could cause elevated enzyme levels in people sensitive to other things like acetaminophen (Tylenol). So he told me to not even sniff or use any ISO Alcohol for 3 weeks to see if it clears up my numbers. So I am trying to chase down the correct gloves myself asap.
