it from petco for fish tanks. I cut it to fit the grit guard. The filter pad can make two filters. Haven't try it yet.
 
To trap the dirt and junk. Necessary no but the grit guard is not so. Just some thing I working on! I will see how it works
 
Maybe you could put goldfish in your rinse bucket...

Let us know how it works.
 
While I must commend you for your ingenuity, My though is that your "filter" will not really improve anything since the contaminents are already below the grit guard when they hit the filter.

Are you thinking that the poly material will catch contaminents and stop them from being churned back up above the grit guard? If so, Your thinking is correct but it wouldnt work for me as I only use the top half of the rinse bucket to rinse my mitt between panels. For people that knock their wash tool on the grit guard, this idea may just be plausable.
 
Wouldn't that need forced water pressure through the filter to work? You are not going to get much water pressure from rinsing a mit in there.
 
I think it is not a bad idea. The dirt particles will become in trapped in the filter and swirling caused by rubbing your mitt against the grit guard will not refloat the dirt particles.

YES that what I was thinking!

I already use two girt guards and the filter is at the bottom.

I'm Thinking filter in the middle may be better? what do u guy think?

i doubt that debris will travel through that in a regular grit guard..but give it a try! I'd see this work with the new style that CG carries. the standard guard has too many open spaces.
 
Oh I get it, it's underneath. So the dirt on the bottom sticks to the filter?
Sounds like it could help
 
Hmm... I might try that. Except i would probably cut into quarters so i don't lose too much space in my 3gal Home Depot buckets.
 
The design of the grit guard is supposed to keep the water from swirling and therefore keep the dirt in the bottom. Although I think the design is great and works better than nothing at all, I think this idea will only improve upon a great concept. Anything at all to help keep dirt/grit away from the wash mitt is awesome. Patten your idea before someone else starts producing these things and makes millions off of us extremist!
 
I'm assuming you mean patent? Good luck with that. After spending $10,000++ in attorneys fees, filing fees, assessment fees, graphic design (for illustrations); the application would probably be rejected since it's really only a polyester fiber pad that's already commonly used.

And look what happened to the patent on the Grit Guard. Change a fin or two and everyone is making one. Using 2 guards in a 5 gallon bucket seems to give the best results.
 
LOL I feel I didn't invent anything, but Im just crazy about a clean car.
