Features

  • SEPARATES THE GRIT FROM THE MITT: The Grit Guard Insert fits in the bottom of your wash bucket and acts as a filter trap, removing dirt, minerals, grit, and grime from the cleaning mitt.
  • RADIAL SURFACE DESIGN: Brush your mitt against the surface of the Grit Guard to extract harmful dirt, mud, and dust from your washcloth or sponge.
  • STOPS DIRT FROM RESURFACING: Once dirt settles in the bottom of the bucket, the Grit Guard keeps it there by separating the wash water into four quadrants, so the water cannot be disturbed.
  • PREVENTS SCRATCHES AND SWIRL MARKS: This simple and cost effective method protects your precious painted surfaces from being scratched and saves your paint from swirl marks.
  • ESSENTIAL ADDITION TO YOUR CAR CLEANING KIT: The Grit Guard is an excellent supplement to your auto detailing kit to prolong the quality of your paintwork, polishes, and detailing.

Description

Color:White The Grit Guard Insert (White) - Fits 12 inch Diameter Bucket Grit Guard is 2 1/2 inches tall. Diameter is 10 3/8 inches. A Grit Guard insert fits a 12 inch diameter bucket. The Grit Guard Insert - White. Keep particles, grime, and particulates off your sponge or mitt while washing with the Grit Guard Insert. Designed with a raised radial surface that fits in the bottom of most 3-5 gallon buckets. Works to extract grit from your wash mitt or sponge when dragged across the Grit Guard surface. The dirt then settles on the bottom of the bucket, away from your wash mitt or sponge, keeping your water clean. The four quadrants at the base of the Grit Guard calm the wash water and hold the grid above the bottom of the bucket, so dirt falls to the bottom and stays there. You'll be amazed at how much dirt accumulates in the bottom of your wash bucket!

    • Dimensions and helpful bucket buying guide, oh yeah, I like the Grit Guard too

OK, I usually hate seeing reviews that say "I haven't used it yet" but that is exactly what I am doing. There is no doubt in my mind that it will not remove grit, grime or other contaminants from my wash mitt and keep it away from my cars finish. So what I am going to tell you is about the dimensions which is what many of the questions I read are about and that I had myself. As you can see from my pictures and the dimensions in the description, the Grit Guard is 10 3/8". The statement is also made that it will fit in any standard 12" 5 gallon bucket. So I went out to Lowes and picked up the standard 5 gallon "blue bucket". I took that bucket over to the tool section and measured the top and bottom inner diameters. The top of the bucket was a little less than 12" and the bottom inner diameter was right at 10". Well I didn't have the greatest expectations with those measurements but I bought the bucket anyway with the thought of just having to return it. Well it turned out it fit perfectly. The lower standoffs slightly taper down right to about 10", this let the Grit Guard sit flush with the bottom of the bucket as designed. I am very happy with how things turned out. So if you are looking at buying this to help with your car washing duties, I say go for it. As for the bucket that you want to put it in, take it over to the tool aisle or bring your own tape measure and take some quick measurements, if the bottom is at least 10" in diameter, you're good. My 5 gallon bucket was purchased at Lowes 2/2016. Good luck everybody, hope this helps. ... show more

    • Did not fit any 5 gallon buckets at Home Depot, Lowes, Sears and Walmart.

I'm not sure why some people who just recently reviewed said it fitted 5 gallon buckets at Home Depot and Lowes. I brought the guard to both places and could not be more disappointed. None of them fits as seen in the attached pictures. The guard could set almost to the bottom, about 3/4 inch from the bottom. For Lowes blue bucket, it could go down around til 2-3 inches from the bottom. Still, the guard couldn't touch the bottom, none of them. For people who reviewed this years ago, maybe HD and Lowes had different buckets? I also tried it with Sear Craftman and Walmart buckets and got same results. Another thing is the two holes in the middle are too small. I'm an average size person and my fingers could not fit in those 2 holes but I don't think this is a big deal. The size(diameter) of guard should be a little smaller so it would fit most of the 5 gallon buckets, even it may loose a little bit in the bigger bottom buckets. Again, this review is for testing it with Home Depot, Lowes, Sears and Walmart buckets. I gave this 2 stars as It may fit with buckets from other places. I'm not sure where else I can find the 5 gallon buckets this guard would fit. I wish people who reviewed this were more careful so it could save people like me all the hassles. ... show more

    • Fits the home depot bucket
Color: Red
Review Image by Taylor G
This is a great grit guard, it fits the 5 gallon home depot all purpose bucket perfectly with the sealed lid as showed in my photo. It does the job in collecting dirt and debris from the car into the bottom of the bucket. Grit Guard makes all of the guards for other companies like chemical guys according to Junkman so might as well go with this company. The prices for their bucket system are a bit high, the homer bucket works just fine for the price, and with rinseless wash solution detailing. I may buy another for my rinse bucket if I do the 2 bucket wash system later. ... show more

    • Works well
Color: Red
I've purchased a couple of these Grit Guards from Amazon, and a similar but not identical one from a local autoparts store. I have no way to say with certainty that they help, but I've seen multiple detailers online recommend using them, and they seem like a good way to help reduce unnecessary damage to the paint when washing your car. I like this particular Grit Guard version best since they wedge tightly in the bottom of the 5 gallon buckets, at least the ones I've purchased from a certain big-box chain where they like the color orange. It allows me to hose out the bucket and dump it without the Grit Guard flying out every time as the one locally always does. ... show more

    • This Product Works!
Color: White
This product does exactly what it's supposed to. Place it in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and all the dirt from your car wash sponge or brush passes through it and ends up in the bucket bottom so you're not continuously dipping the sponge in dirty water. It also works for degreasing parts in a bucket; the "gunk" goes to the bottom as you're spraying the parts. You can stack them to get more height if needed. It does not work for washing dirty brass cartridge cases unless they are very large. All the popular-sized cases will fall through the openings and end up in bottom of the bucket. I thought I could wash the stainless steel pins out of my brass with a garden hose but it didn't work. This product still does exactly what it was designed to do and functions very well. You will like it so order more than one! OhioMo123 ... show more

    • Good addition to vehicle detailing kits.
Color: Red
After watching tons of detailing videos on YouTube, and learning to wash my vehicles using the two bucket system, I purchased two of these for my wash and rinse buckets. The theory behind them is that the dirt will settle below the grit guard so you do not rub dirt into your paint, causing scratches. These seem to do the job as advertised. They are well made, and they are now part of my washing routine. The reason that they did not get five stars is two minor issues. One, they are about 8-9 bucks each, and becasue they are just plastic mold, it seems they should only cost 5 or so, or 2 for 12... I mean there is more plastic in a Home Depot bucket and they are only 5 bucks. Second issue is I bought two red Pep Boys buckets to match the red grit guard (vanity), and they are both the five gallon variety, but the guard does not go all the way to the bottom. So I'm sure they would fit a Home Depot bucket, but as I am learing, all 5 gallon buckets are not universal size. ... show more
