if you need it . . Buy it. . . Good price . . . good value for money. . .

I've been spending too much time reading reviews because of the size (diameter) issues. I use white buckets that I bought from Lowes (I have four and two fit well and two have 1/8 inch play) and there are differences in the buckets (below). The white buckets let me see how much dirt is in there. I use the two-bucket rinse method (one bucket of soap and one bucket for rinsing the dirty glove and the soap-washed glove, rinsing first in the washing machine, then in the soap gun, then in theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Universal attachment works with standard 3 to 5 gallon buckets, a must have for any car wash kit
Cons
  • Available in white only

Smaller diameter than original, not ideal

They are slightly smaller in diameter than the original branded sand traps. Not good because I use them on the originals with Napa auto parts pails and they stop about 5-6 inches from the bottom of those particular pails (they are a bit narrower than the standard 5 gallon pails). This is great because it allows a lot more water to get under the protective cover, giving more room for dirt to settle to the bottom of the bucket. With a sand guard about 2 inches from the bottom, like this vikingโ€ฆ

  • Catches dirt at the bottom of the wash bucket to keep your car cleaner during the wash

wipe down the bottom buckets , where heavier dirt particles settle. For me, that's all just picking up the sponge from below. I don't subscribe to claims that these types of devices "trap" debris, but if I really try, I might see an argument that four large, protruding fins can reduce bottom turbulent flow and help to keep the mud on the ground down. . that the ground doesn't throw back as hard, but by my definition I hardly consider it a trap. (By the way, by the same logic, if you're reallyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Use a car wash bucket to wash dirt off of mittens, brushes, towels, and other car cleaning supplies
Cons
  • I'll be silent
