The Detail Guardz - Dirt Lock Car Wash Bucket Insert (Blue) Review

This is my first and only sand guard so I have nothing that compares other than not using any guard at all. I've only used it once (in my dishwashing bucket) but it worked really well considering how much stuff was underneath when I took it out of the bucket after my new car's first wash. I appreciate the little finger slots in the middle of the casing because they were important when it came time to remove the casing from the bucket. I also really appreciate that they made it fit in the many…

This thing likes to float to the top when I want to soak my glove. The 2 bucket method is outdated anyway and not 100% scratch proof. Use a bucket of soap and a used glove to make it 100%. I recommend buying a pack of 6 Cobra Shine & Buff waterless wash towels. and use the one-bucket method. You have a bucket full of soapy water full of mittens or towels that are only used once without rinsing. Once you've used a towel, set it aside and grab a new one.

I bought three: red, blue and black to match my buckets…

They are made of much stronger and heavier plastic, have finger grips, taller feet and no flat top surfaces that hold a bit of sand like the "swirl" fenders. They go perfectly with my orange buckets from the big hardware stores and the side bumpers keep them down. does exactly what it's supposed to, not just what it's supposed to.

Let's face it, the Grit Guard was the first on the market, but its design has never improved. For this reason I bought two devices of the latest generation. (yellow) and two from the current generation. (Gold). I run a high end mobile detailing business 5-7 days a week. I see 3-5+ vehicles at a time and am currently using OP Eco Wash (formerly ONR) with BBS or BRS. I run a dirt lock in every bucket, why not? My first generation yellow Dirt Lock pops up from time to time, but I don't care. I…
