The Brand

Grit Guard

Grit Guard is the American company behind the original bucket insert, the Grit Guard Insert. In 2002 its founder, Doug Lamb, built prototype after prototype of a settling filter for washing his favourite red car: a grid that lets dirt come out of the wash mitt, sink to the bottom of the bucket and stay there instead of going back onto the paint. Grit Guard holds US patent 7,025,880 for the Insert, is family-owned and operated, and designs and makes its products in the USA, from Bellefontaine, Ohio.

At The Drivers HQ we stock Grit Guard online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop: the Grit Guard Insert in eight colours, the Washboard, transparent wash buckets, bucket lid cushions and Pad Renewing Solution.

Grit Guard products

The Insert. The Grit Guard Insert sits in the bottom of the wash bucket. Its radial surface pulls dirt and grit out of the mitt as you agitate it under the water, and the dirt settles at the bottom of the bucket, below the grid and away from the mitt. It measures 263mm across and 63mm tall and fits most 3.5 to 6 US gallon buckets. We list it in black, blue, gold, green, red, silver, white and yellow, so you can colour-code the wash, rinse and wheel buckets; black does not show staining from wheel cleaner.

The Washboard. The Washboard fits onto the Insert and gives the mitt or brush a second surface to rub against on a downward stroke, so grit is pulled out and drops to the bottom. Like the Insert it has no flat ledges for dirt to collect on. It needs an Insert to fit; the Insert is not included.

Buckets and lids. The transparent wash buckets come in clear, black, blue, red and orange, along with a white wash bucket (bucket only), and the 12-inch bucket lid cushion, in black or red, sits on a lidded 5 gallon bucket to give you a 1-inch foam seat or kneeler while you work on the lower parts of the car.

Pad care. Pad Renewing Solution is a concentrated spray that breaks down petroleum- and water-based compounds on buffing pads: two or three sprays release dried, hardened compound. It is non-corrosive and residue-free, and also works as a general purpose cleaner.

The two-bucket wash with Grit Guard

The two-bucket wash with Grit Guard

Most swirl marks come from grit dragged across the paint by the wash mitt. The two-bucket method with a Grit Guard Insert in each bucket keeps that grit away from the mitt:

  • Wash bucket: shampoo solution with a Grit Guard Insert at the bottom.
  • Rinse bucket: clean water with a second Insert, and a Washboard if you have one.

Load the mitt in the wash bucket, wash one panel from the top down, then rub the mitt across the Insert in the rinse bucket so the dirt drops to the bottom. Go back to the wash bucket for more solution and move to the next panel. Do the wheels last, or with a separate bucket, mitt and brushes, so brake dust never meets the paint; a different colour Insert makes that bucket easy to spot.

Pre-washing with a snow foam or citrus pre-wash first takes off more of the loose dirt before the mitt touches the car.
