1994 Hyundai Elantra 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Hi there, I'm sorry for posting this question as a "car repair question" but I couldn't find another more general section.
I've just started getting started repairing my Hyundai Elantra, and in order to do that, I take my laptop near the car (over a table) but you know, as I start getting down to work, my hands get dirty quickly and often, and since I'm new to this, I have to go back to my laptop and take a look at the manuals (pdf), troubleshootings or terms definitions over the internet, so I have to wash my hands every 5 minutes... that's kind of annoying and impractical. I'm sure I'm not the 1st having this problem, so I'm asking for suggestions about what the best rugged bag/cover for keyboard/touchpad haha whatever the best option is, so I can work with my "dirty hands" without worrying about my laptop.

Thank you and merry Christmas!

"Clear" trash bag works great. Just put your laptop inside a clear trash bag, get most of the air out of the bag, and use Scotch tape to keep the "cover" in place. So, even if you touch the keys with your hand, all you dirty is the bag, not the laptop.
