Grit Guard Washboard - Red

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.
