+1. I shower before I leave. The one thing that others haven't mentioned is that in lieu of baby wipes I basically take a baby powder shower. I keep baby powder at work and douse myself in the stuff. I also put on deodorant after getting to work. I have had no complaints at all, and frankly I feel fresher later into the day than when I drive in.

Also, along with visibility provided by lights, go with with a high-viz jacket or vest. I have a construction vest for warm days and a Canari high-viz yellow windbreaker for cool/cold days.
