Rubber gloves also help with keeping your hands from going numb and turning blue. The heavy latex/rubber dishwashing gloves to a pretty good job and are fairly durable for the job.
Almost 2 years ago, I got up on a 30* morning and did some chores indoors, figuring it would warm up some more by the time I got outside.
Got the warm layers of clothes on, gloves on hands and got the car washed. Went to dry the car and there was a thin sheet of ice that flew off the roof, hood and trunk went I went to wipe it dry with towel!
It got to about 32-33* when I had finished...
