  • Wash bucket filter
Color: Blue
Superb piece! Part price right on! On the down side, tight fit on standard 5 gallon bucket (removed rubber feat covers) making removal tough. But ready to get another one for 2nd bucket!

  • Grit guard
Color: Blue
I bought 2 of them and I use them to do my rinseless wash. And they trap the dirt down in the bottom of bucket.

  • Best bucket guard there is
Color: White
I have used the OG Grit Guards before, and this does a way better job. It can be a little finicky going in the bucket due to the rubber stoppers, but this gives it a great seal to prevent anything from coming back up. Must have for two bucket method or especially one bucket rinseless washing!

  • It's a good idea and seems to keep the dirt below.
Color: Blue
I was able to fit this into an orange Home Depot bucket, but it's a really snug fit. Loop some nylon wire ties around the fins so that you have something to pull on to remove it. Otherwise it'll get stuck in the bottom of the bucket. It's a good idea, and gives you an elevated area to rest your sponge a few inches away from the dirt and grime that settles towards the bottom of the wash water. I still wouldn't agitate the water too much as some of the dirt could come upwards. It's a little pricey especially if you use two buckets and decide to get two. ... show more

  • Detail Guardz Bucket Insert
Color: Gold
I have 5-gallon buckets that I use for detail washes. I had a simple plastic guard before and it worked okay for grit capture. What it didn't do was stay in place in the bucket between washes. The Detail Guardz has rubber-like tabs (3 of them) for a tight friction fit. Problem solved! One feature of interest is the design has venturi openings that draw contaminated water down under the guard and slow the flow back above the guard which captures a ton more grit and stuff. I noticed a difference on the first wash and I like it. I have some big trucks and they always seem to have stubborn dirt and mud that gets removed during the contact wash. All in all, a nice investment in protecting the clear coat and paint. ... show more

  • Heavy duty quality made for long term.

  • Great product, sturdy and well built.
Color: White
The only thing I see an issue with is bucket size fitment. I have two white ace hardware buckets that I use, this is very tight fitting in the bottom but its not a huge deal. Filling the bucket with very hot water allowed it to go all the way down to the bottom. One thing I really like over standard grit guards is that this one sits much lower, when doing rinseless washes it really helps when you're only using 2 1/2 gallons of water. I feel by sitting lower it allows me to dunk much easier and get the sponge/mitt wet without worrying that the mitt wasn't fully submerged. ... show more
