I'm no expert, but I believe that Nomex garments should be kept reasonably clean (especially of flammable substances) if their fire resistancy is to be effective.

Perhaps you could try keeping a set of cheap coveralls in the hangar for pre-flighting, post-flight cleaning, etc., and wear a Nomex flight suit only for flying (hopefully there isn't too much oil spraying around in mid-flight). Just a thought.
