Our oven gloves are crappy, every time I make a nice meal for the family I burn my hands.. I think there's a pattern here

And some neon lights so you can see what your doing
Just get used to burning your hands. You soon build up resistance.

You could use that on the mirrors, air filter box, number plate and lights, fork protectors, instruments. Anything apart from you paintwork maybe
