Good point, the pad does float but I will drag my mitt across the grit guard to get off any grit.

Right, I wouldn't risk it at all. It's 17 for two of them and they help regardless. Just get ittttt

Funny, I use the same method on my Sky (spraying the mitt out well before rinsing). Probably why it takes me so long to wash the car! I still use the grit guards in both buckets. After hosing the mitt I rub it across the grit guard in the rinse bucket and then give it one quick wring out before dipping back in my wash solution.

I like the Dirt Dropper much better than a Grit Guard. It has a washboard affixed to a grit guard . It is on pailpall.com. It is very well made and is superior to a GG IMO.. Costs $17 but is well worth it IMEE. I gave my GG to a friend and bought another Dirt Dropper.

The dirt dropper is a much better unit.

I liked the idea Mike P. showed putting two grit guards in a rinse bucket. This approximates some of the possible advantages of the Dirt Dropper.

As usual you are spot on. I failed to point this out. AG should carry the Dirt Dropper since they already carry the PailPal detail cart which is also great IMO.

Al, I think for the same $$ a Dirt Dropper is still superior.
