Re: Which car wash bucket do you use

Maybe just bring your grit guard in before you buy??
I bought 2 Lowe's Silver buckets and the black grit guard goes to the bottom of the bucket.

Home Depot buckets with Gamma lids. For bringing the buckets to the coin op with me (I live in a condo). Grit Guards fit perfect, and the Gamma's do not leak. they are nice and heavy when filled though. Much cheaper to get them locally then to order a two bucket wash kit IME

Home Depot Homer 5 Gallon Buckets. They work well with grit guards, and they can be had for $5 or less.

Does it work if your drive way has a slope?

Your are right and I forgot:

I bit of bleach water with the sunlight solves that problem.
