Grit Guard
Grit Guard
A radial grid insert placed at the bottom of a wash bucket to trap dirt and prevent swirl marks during car washing.
A grit guard is a round insert with a raised radial grid pattern designed to sit at the bottom of a 5-gallon wash bucket. As you dip your wash mitt back into the bucket, the grit guard traps dirt, sand, and debris below the grid, preventing contaminated particles from being picked back up and scratching your vehicle's paint. Essential for the two-bucket wash method used by professional auto detailers. Standard grit guards fit most 12-inch diameter 5-gallon buckets.
