Two bucket rookie mistake

Last spring I ordered the two buckets /dolly and grit gaurds. My mistake was ordering the same color (clear) or non-color. I hated looking to see which bucket was which before

rinse my mit so I used some colored electrical tape. This scheme works for me since "red" means danger or the dirty bucket! Painting would have been my second choice. I figured

if the tape didn't hold up I would.

Re: Two bucket rookie mistake

That can work. I have seen some put something on the rim (something like a large binder clip) to tell them apart as well with just a glance.

I use the orange HD buckets. I wrote Wash in one and Rinse in the other.

Re: Two bucket rookie mistake

This is how even the simplest tasks of detailing can confuse!! I can't tell you how many times I've done this!

Welcome to the club Chet and a bunch of great solutions...

Hoyt, you could've gotten a bunch of bio-hazard signs too, LOL! I have an old PepBoys bucket that I use for my rinse water and the new Home Depot bucket with measurements on the side for clean stuff.

Re: Two bucket rookie mistake

I bought the AG labels for wash and rinse buckets for like 8 bucks. (I like my stuff to be consistant, AG buckets = AG labels)
