It will clean hands just like petrol does but could lead to getting dermatitis. Swafega is better. WD is good on plated parts to stop rust pitting.
Anything that gets oily muck off your hands is likely to get rid of natural oils as well. Probably best not to worry about it and then use something to rejuvenate them after they are clean - I've found barrier cream not to be terribly practical but I know some people swear by it
