I saw the review for the AG wash cart and thought I would share some pics of the wash cart I made up. I had looked at the AG cart and while nice, I didn't think the small wheels would work well on my exposed aggregate driveway. I also wanted a cart that would hold two buckets. Since I couldn't find anything I wanted ready made I thought I'd make my own.

I found this pier and surf fishermans cart that holds two buckets perfectly. I attached the smaller rectanguler bucket to the front for brushes and the tupperware type containers to the sides and back to hold wash pads and cleaning supplies. I even added a bicycle type water bottle and holder for a cool drink without blasting my lips off with the hose. The second and third pic were taken before I added the container to the back.

This thing is very handy. I just roll the cart to whatever wheel or panel I'm washing and everything I need is right there and no longer scattered all over my driveway. Just thought I'd share.

The cart is made by Fish-N-Mate. This one is their smallest cart called the Lil-Mate. I bought mine at Cabelas for $115 back in the spring but just noticed that they have increased the price to $140. Here is a link to one at Bass Pro Shops for $130. Angler?s Lil? Mate Cart

You may be able to search the net and find one cheaper.

BTW I failed to mention that one of the best benefits for me in using this cart is my back often gets sore when bending over a lot. It really helps to get the buckets 8" off the ground.
 
Good! :) I've been thinking of how to make some kind of two bucket trolley.
 
Very Cool!

Almost a RadioFlyer 2-Bucket wash cart.

Although I ended up getting the bucket dollies so I use them a lot more but the wagon's advantage is less bending down to dunk the mitt and the wagon rolls over most typical driveway obstacles (hoses, etc).
