Description

DETAIL GUARDZ DIRT LOCK CAR WASH BUCKET INSERT Our patented design utilizes the motion of your hand to pump and trap debris underneath the screen. The Dirt Lock has a complex Venturi filtering system that manipulates the flow of water in a downward direction. This allows dirt particles to collect underneath the screen without a way for it to re-enter into the clean water. In short, every time you pump your hand in the bucket you are cycling the dirt underneath the screen and replenishing clean water above to help prevent swirl-marks and scratches on the painted surface. ONE Dirt Lock will filter your wash water like you have never seen before. Protect your car and eliminate the main cause of swirl marks on your paintwork! Proudly Made In Canada. Fit's inside nearly any 3,4,5,6,7 or 8 gallon standard round wash pail with it's flexible, self-adjusting, rubber locking grips. VENTURI EFFECT The Dirt Lock manipulates the flow of water by creating a high pressure underneath the filter and a low pressure above. This results in a tunneling effect and pushes the debris safely underneath the screen and provides much cleaner water above to reuse on your vehicles paintwork! AUTOMATIC SELF-LOCKING The Dirt Lock comes equipped with rubber grips and also a self-locking feature. Simply push the dirt lock inside almost any 3,4,5,6,7 or 8 gallon round wash bucket and it will automatically adjust itself for the perfect fit. The Dirt Lock is molded from a special plastic resin that sinks like an anchor in the bucket! THE ULTIMATE SCRATCH-PROTECTION The Dirt Lock is the ultimate bucket filter to ensure your vehicle is as safe as possible from swirl-marks and scratches. It's locked and loaded with every detail possible to ensure your vehicles finish is maintained to the highest standards. Feel confident knowing you have a proven bucket filter to keep your investment safe.

  • Fits every bucket I own!
Color: Red
I have the other “GUYS” bucket that came with their cyclone guard and no doubt Detail Guardz is superior! Not only does it fit better than the other “GUYS” in their own bucket it looks and feels much better too!

  • The Beast of grit guards
Color: Black
In my opinion, works better than the original grit guard. Well built and sturdy.

  • 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

  • on the fence
Color: White
On the fence on wether to keep. I've spent a lot of time (for some odd reason) researching dirt guards after watching Pan the Organizer. These guards seem to be the best on the market with a lot of "science " behind them. However after using - not overly impressed .I watch dirt and such float around - was hoping it would gravitate quickly to the bottom . Once it settles to the bottom- the gaurd does a great job of keeping it there but that would mean waiting excessive minutes for the dirt to settle. I also read another review that the dirt just gets suspended in the suds making this item pointless . I wanted to see for myself. The item is quality made but due to the high selling price does not seem worth it. ... show more

  • Gets the job done
Color: Blue
I like the way this dirt guard works. May be a little pricey, but worth the money.

  • Better than CG cyclone by a smidge.
Color: Blue
Honest review of the Dirt Lock (DL) in Blue. The 4 legs are not bent in or out. They are straight. However it had some plastic stretch marks probably from manufacturing or maybe dings from shipping and handling. Doesn't seem like it's going to effect durability...just aesthetics. Came with the sliding Rubber holders (slides up and down on the legs)...works well to secure it to the bottom of the bucket. Fits the Home Depot Homer orange bucket all the way to the bottom snug. Fill the bucket with water to get it down there easier. It's snug enough it doesn't float up at all during use. I'm able to lift it out, with the 3 lift points in the middle, I'm not a body builder so the avg Joe should be able to get it out without tools. Now the question everyone is probably wondering...How is the performance compared to the Chemical Guys Cyclone. The DL is a smidge better than the Cyclone. Only because The DL has less horizontal flat spots where dirt can settle on top than the Cyclone. Both keep the dirt under the guard from coming up about the same. For the most part...the Dirt and grime fell below the DL; however, there are some particles in the water above the DL. Some of the particles sank to the bottom eventually after 30 mins. you can wait or just keep washing. There is no way to pump your mitt up and down and get everything below the guard...only way would be if you have a circular mitt slightly bigger than the bucket to ensure the particles don't escape to the sides and up. Do not buy this or any dirt guard if you think the water is going to be crystal clear above the guard like in the videos online. would be nice if there was a bucket that pumps water through a hole and out another hole and a filter of some sort in between to catch everything...would keep water cleaner. :) but until that comes out this will have to do. Hope this helps fellow Amazoners. ... show more

  • If it’s multiple buckets!!
Color: Black
If you wondering what kind of buckets this can fit on you no longer have to worry. These are the most common buckets The First is an Advance Auto Part bucket it does go all the way down but still locks into place and all the dirt stays in the bottom The Second is the classic Home Depot it locks into place a bit higher to the bottom but still the dirt stays in the bottom when washing The last is a Meguiar’s Bucket (The Ultimate Bucket cleaning Kit) it also goes all the way in the bottom but it locks into place and also the dirt stays in the bottom All in all the grit guard is the best I ever had all the dirt stays in the bottom and can fit multiple buckets ... show more

  • Best grit guard out there
Color: Red
If they fit your buckets (and they fit almost all round ones), these are the way to go. Combine with their Scrub Walls and Scrub and Pump for unbeatable wash mitt results - jeez, sounds like I’m on commission! Experimenting with raising the guard in the bucket (put a lesser product underneath) to create more “dead space” for removed schmutz. Not as big a fan of their Pad Washer add-on - the Lake Country is superior, though at 3~5 times the price (darn, there goes the commission). ... show more
