Do you use 2 grit guards?

**Mc'lovin** · 05-02-2012, 06:11 AM

Hi all,

I wash my car using the two-bucket method, and use the Grit Guard insert in the water-only bucket and it works very well, the shampoo bucket stays clean and all.

Can any of you share if you are using a second Grit Guard in the shampoo bucket as well, and if this method has any obvious advantages?

Thank you!

I do use the second one in my wash bucket, but I wouldn't say there are any major differences. It does keep your mitt off the bottom of the bucket in case there is any dirt on the bottom, but if you rinse your mitt correctly in the other bucket there shouldn't be any in your wash bucket. The disadvantage is that you can't access as much water and my have to fill up your bucket as much. The only reason I have two is because they were on bogo.

I use 3 with 2 in the rinse bucket. This allows me to have more water in the rinse bucket and thus hold more dirt in the bottom, without dunking my arm up to the elbow in the rinse bucket.

Then again, I have been accused of wearing a belt & suspenders.

That's a good idea, I never would have thought about that, I'll try that.

I had two and now only use one in the rinse. I don't use wash a mitt. They seem to just hold the dirt and it takes forever to try and get them clean when rinsing. Need a grit guard designed to attach to the side of the bucket so you can access it easier. I was thinking about modifying a paint tray
