Grit Guard Wash Bucket Insert – Red (Fits 2.5–7 Gallon Buckets)

Prevent swirls and scratches before they start with the Grit Guard Wash Bucket Insert in bold red. Designed to trap dirt and debris at the bottom of your wash bucket, this simple yet effective tool helps you wash smarter and safer every time.

Most swirl marks are introduced during the wash process, when grit and contaminants get caught in your mitt or sponge. The Grit Guard insert fits snugly at the bottom of most standard 2.5–7 gallon buckets, creating a physical barrier between your wash media and harmful debris. Simply rub your mitt or sponge against the grid, and particles fall below the guard—out of circulation and away from your paintwork.

An essential tool for any car enthusiast or professional detailer, the Grit Guard is a small investment that delivers major protection for your vehicle’s finish.

Key Features:

• ✅ Minimizes swirl marks & scratches during the wash process

• 🧼 Traps dirt and debris below the guard, keeping your mitt cleaner

• 🔴 Bright red color for easy visibility at the bottom of the bucket

• 🪣 Fits most 2.5–7 gallon buckets – 10.5" diameter

• 💪 Durable plastic construction for long-lasting use

How to Use:

1. Place the Grit Guard at the bottom of your wash or rinse bucket.

2. After each pass with your mitt or sponge, gently rub it against the grid.

3. Debris will settle below the guard, helping keep your mitt clean and your paint scratch-free.

Pro Tip:

Pair with a two-bucket wash system (one for soap, one for rinsing) for maximum paint protection. Add a second Grit Guard for each bucket to significantly reduce the chance of wash-induced marring.
