You can also buy Nytrile gloves at Wally World or most auto parts stores now. Harbor Freight and Northern Tool also carry them.

The best I've ever found, are the Kimberly Clark purple gloves ($8/20 pair), next in line is auto parts store gloves ($11/40 pair), followed by Wally World gloves with the lowest quality possible (but only $5 for 40 pair).

Just an FYI, Gun Scrubber/Brake cleaner will cause nytrile (and latex) to flow, leading to eventual disolving.

If you use brake cleaner or gun scrubber, of course, do it outside and put on a new pair of gloves as soon as the spraying is done.

For everyone's information, good quality nitrile exam gloves are reliable protection for about 5 minutes if in continuous contact with solvents like benzine, toluine, TCE so double glove and change the outer pair out before they can degrade.

Lab Safety publishes break through rates for many of the gloves they sell - http://www.labsafety.com/refinfo/ezfacts/EZ166.pdf
