How about a 3 bucket wash dolly as a gift to myself for Christmas?

I splurged on the wash bucket dollies but decided to try a third bucket with the connector plate since I always want to something to put chemicals and brushes in.

Quick review. The wash dollies do not come with the casters or the connector plates installed but they were simple to install although each pressed in with different forces. Some are a bit looser than others after installed but do not seem to want to fall out.

The benefit with these dollies compared to the molded two bucket ones I had also seen is that these can support a lot more weight so you can sit on them. They appear to be molded out of glass filled resin so they are very rugged. There are 3 Frankenstein bolts you can adjust to hold the buckets down.

Add a couple more and you will have a couch you can lounge on. Maybe an additional one for the TV.

Never mind your car.........

What sealant and wax do you use on that floor? It looks great, what a shine.

Hey Al,

That is the first 3 bucket system I've seen but I think it's a keeper..:props:

I was awfully surprised to hear the dollies don't come with the 4 casters. I checked the web page and according to this they appear to be included. :dunno:

I guess I was not clear. They came with five casters (2 are locking type), you just have to install them.

OK, I understand now and if I read it a bit slower I would have understood it as well......:doh:

Thanks Al

That looks truly slick! Now all you need is a "seat" to put on top of that center bucket and you'll be in great shape!

I picked one of these up at Menard's for about $5 (the brand is McGuire-Nicholas):

2 bucket dolly not strong? I think I could use mine to block the Range Rover up while working under it. And anyone who owns a Land Rover product knows that's all the time!
