Expert Notes

The Autobrite Direct Clear Detailing Bucket is a 20 litre wash bucket set in high grade, heavy duty clear polyethylene, supplied with a dirt guard that sits at the bottom and a Gamma Seal screw-on lid. The clear body is the reason to choose it: the dirt and debris lifted off the car stay visible, which makes it a natural rinse bucket in a two bucket wash, as it shows at a glance when the water needs changing. The stainless steel handle has a comfortable grip, and the lid seals liquids in for transport and doubles as a seat. It suits enthusiasts washing on the drive. Pair it with a second bucket for shampoo, a dedicated car shampoo, a soft wash mitt and a plush drying towel.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Two bucket wash setups
  • Rinse bucket for wash mitts
  • Car shampoo solution
  • Car hand washing
  • Dedicated wheel and tyre washing
  • Driveway washing
  • Carrying water to the car

Caution: A full 20 litre bucket is heavy, so screw the Gamma Seal lid on fully before carrying liquid and lift it by the handle with care.

How To Use

Using it

  1. Seat the dirt guard flat in the bottom of the empty bucket.
  2. Fill with water and add car shampoo at the dilution given on its label.
  3. Wash one panel at a time, rubbing the mitt over the dirt guard before reloading it.
  4. Look through the clear side to see how much dirt has settled in the water.
  5. In a two bucket wash, use the clear view to check your wash solution is staying clean.
  6. Change the water as soon as it no longer looks clean.

Cleaning and storage

  1. Empty the bucket and lift out the dirt guard after each wash.
  2. Rinse the bucket, guard and lid thoroughly with clean water.
  3. Wipe the lid threads clean so grit does not stop it sealing.
  4. Let every part dry before screwing the lid back on.
  5. Store the dirt guard inside the bucket so the set stays together.

Top Tip: Use the clear bucket as your rinse bucket, so you can see exactly when the water needs changing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included with the Autobrite Clear Detailing Bucket?

It comes as a set: a 20 litre clear bucket, a Gamma Seal lid and a dirt guard. The dirt guard sits at the bottom of the bucket.

Why choose a clear bucket?

A clear bucket lets you see the dirt and debris removed from your car. Autobrite notes this is especially useful in a two bucket wash, as you can see whether your wash solution is staying fresh and clear.

How much does it hold?

The bucket holds 20 litres of wash solution. It is built from high grade, heavy duty clear polyethylene.

How does the Gamma Seal lid fit?

The Gamma Seal lid screws on, and Autobrite describes it as water tight. That gives a tight seal when transporting liquids, and the lid also makes a good seat.

What is the handle made of?

The handle is strong stainless steel with a comfortable grip. That makes it easier to carry a full bucket from the tap to the car.

What is the dirt guard for?

The dirt guard sits at the bottom of the bucket, giving you a surface to rub your wash mitt against to release grit. Autobrite designed the set to help keep swirl marks at bay.

Can I use it for wheels?

Yes, but once a bucket is used for wheels, keep it for wheels only. Brake dust and road grit from a wheel bucket should never reach the mitt you use on paintwork.

How should I clean it?

Empty it, lift out the dirt guard and rinse the bucket, guard and lid with clean water. Let everything dry and keep the lid threads free of grit so it keeps sealing.

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Rinse your mitt in clean water before loading it with shampoo again.
  2. Seat the dirt guard before you add any water.
  3. Leave space below the rim so water does not slop out while washing.
  4. Keep wheel tools and their bucket apart from paint wash tools.
  5. Screw the lid on fully before carrying the bucket.
  6. Carry a full bucket by the handle and lift with care.
  7. Rinse and dry the bucket, guard and lid after each wash.
  8. Available with UK-wide delivery from The Drivers HQ.

The Brand

Autobrite Direct

Autobrite Direct is a UK car detailing brand founded in 2005 that describes itself as built by detailers, for detailers. Magifoam snow foam, Crystal glass cleaner and Tyregloss date from its early years. In 2026 the brand was relaunched by Technical Brands UK & Ireland Limited, of County Antrim, which had been the official Autobrite Direct reseller in Ireland; the earlier company, Autobrite Direct Limited, no longer trades. The new operator says it has brought back key legacy formulas and that the products are manufactured in the UK.

At The Drivers HQ we stock Autobrite Direct online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop. Popular choices include Magifoam, Purple Velvet shampoo and Project 64.

Autobrite wash, wheels and decontamination

Pre-wash and snow foam. Citrus Wash is a citrus oil pre-wash and all purpose cleaner for paint, plastic, vinyl and rubber, diluted 100:1 for light cleaning, 50:1 for a general pre-wash, 30:1 for heavy grime and 10:1 for degreasing. Stronger mixes can reduce wax or sealant, so Autobrite suggests 50:1 or weaker for maintenance washes. Magifoam is a stable, wax and sealant safe snow foam: 100 to 200ml in the lance, topped up with water, left to dwell but never to dry. Custard Magifoam is the vanilla custard scented version, and the thick mousse style Jelly Bean and Parma Violet Super Foams suit lighter summer dirt.

Shampoos. Purple Velvet is a pH neutral shampoo with a Juicy Fruit scent that dilutes up to 1500:1, a 10ml capful in 15 litres. Banana Gloss is pH neutral and kind to existing wax, and Ceramic Infused Shampoo adds a slick, hydrophobic layer, used at 400:1 in the bucket or straight onto the mitt. Wash with the Synthetic Wool Wash Mitt and a 20 litre Detailing Bucket in black or clear, each with a Gamma Seal lid and Dirt Guard; the Bucket Organiser fits most 20 litre buckets and holds bottles, mitts and brushes.

Wheels, tyres and decontamination. BriteGel is a lemon and lime scented, non-acidic wheel gel that clings to the wheel and tyre, and Very Cherry Non Acidic is a high foaming, acid free wheel cleaner for painted and clear coated wheels. Purple Rain is a ready to use gel fallout remover for wheels and bodywork that turns purple as it dissolves iron: do not dilute it, and keep it off damaged or unlacquered paint and alloys. Just The Tonic is a solvent tar and glue remover that also lifts sticker glue and, inside, ink, oil and chewing gum from carpets. Tyregloss is a cherry scented tyre dressing: a little for satin, more for high gloss.

Autobrite polishing, protection, glass and interior

Paint correction. The Correct It compounds are made for modern ceramic and scratch resistant clear coats as well as hard German paint: Restore is the heavy cut, rated to remove 1500 grit sanding marks, Enrich is a medium one step cut and finish, and Final Finish is the anti-hologram finishing polish. The 135mm pads are colour coded: orange for cutting and green for polishing, both German open cell foam, with the Hybrid Wool Ultracut and Correct It PRO microfibre pads for faster correction.

Protection and gloss. Prep-It removes polishing oils and residue before a coating, sealant or wax. Ultraslick is a polymer sealant for paint, glass, chrome and unpainted plastics in a 250ml atomiser bottle, and Carbanuba is a banana scented cream wax of carnauba, montan and microcrystalline waxes. Magiseal is a water based, SiO2 infused coating: 100ml with 400ml of water in a foam lance, or 25ml with 475ml in a trigger, rinsed straight off, for two to three months of protection. Project 64 is a pH neutral spray, wipe and buff gloss enhancer, Quickshine works as a quick detailer, waterless wash or clay lubricant, and Top Gloss is a wax drying aid. Apply them with the foam applicators, six to a pack, and polish bright metal with Metalworx.

Glass. Crystal has been in the range since 2005: a fast flash-off glass cleaner, safe on glass, mirrors and window tints. Clear View polishes away bug splatter, fallout and watermarks with no silicones or waxes, ready for Repel, a rain repellent that Autobrite says beads water off from around 30mph. Buff with The Enforcer, a 55 x 63cm, 300gsm glass towel.

Interior and kit. Fab is a high foaming upholstery cleaner and pre-spotter, Magic Carpet a low foaming fabric cleaner with odour neutralisers, and the Alcantara Cleaner is solvent free and water based for Alcantara and suede. Jaffa Clean degreases and protects engine bays and door shuts, and the Soft White Drill Brush (5in) scrubs carpets and mats. Carry it all in the Detailing Holdall or Detailing Kit Bag, or start with the boxed Essential Detailing Kit.
