Go to a hardware store and buy 12 pairs of decent quality cotton gloves. I usually leave six pairs laying on the hump in front of and between the driver's and passenger's seat, right where the floor heat will blow on them to dry them out.
Change them out as needed to dry ones, put the wet ones on the hump and they'll dry. Wash them in a wash load occasionally, they do shrink some, so buy them XL. Sometimes you need gloves for a really dirty job. Then use the most worn out pair and throw them away afterwards. I have some gloves that have been used about 10 years from a large stack of 20+ pairs.
When your hands are really sore and cold, when you come in soak them in a little bit of warm water with an oil in it. See any pharmacist and they'll recommend something. While at the pharmacy, ask for a small light pair of cotton gloves. Wash / soak your hands, apply a very heavy dose of something like the bag balm and then put the gloves on. This works well when doing it at night and then sleeping in the gloves so the balm is on your hands all night and it doesn't get on bed sheets. Buy several pairs of these gloves also and was them occasionally with the other gloves.
