I carry a pair of SHOWA 730 chemical gloves which are "bungeed" to the tailbag. They're sized for real people and slide on and off.
Park the bike at the pump. Pull out a bleach wipe (just in case) from a baggie in the tank bag. Flip-up the tank bag. Open the tank. Hopefully, use the no-contact "tap" reader for the Credit card. Put away card. Pull-on the chemical gloves, answer any keypad questions and pump gas. After pumping, remove gloves and slide under bungees. Wipe hands with the bleach wipe, if needed. Latch the tank lid and re-attach the aft end of the tank bag. The chemical gloves are possibly contaminated, but they'll "age sanitize" on top of the tail bag and I haven't touched another part of the bike with them.
If I have to insert the card, the card gets cleaned with the bleach wipe.
Yes. A lot of effort to avoid wiping any bike surface with a harsh chemical wipe. And, I did have a relative with severe OCD tendencies.....

I knocked, but the door was open.......
