bucket dolly vs other ideas

[mwtaco]

looking for something to make washing/polishing/waxing those lower panels easier. i think technique improves if you are comfortable.

how about that bucket with the bucket dolly (pricey!).

Grit Guard® Dual Bucket Washing System - CLEAR


looking for opinions on the bucket dollies and any other suggestions.

thanks.

I use an old 5 gallon wet/dry vac. just take off the top. my 5 gallon buckets fit perfectly inside, and the wet/dry vac has wheels. best part is that it cost me nothing. I found them on the side of the road.

If i wanted to improve then I would put bigger wheels on them. they have skinny little wheels and they get traped in cracks and can topple over, but that doesn't really happen.

I just happen to have one in my basement. I will certainly give it a try.

very resourceful. you ever sit on it? i'm looking for something to sit and roll around on so i can work on the lower parts of the car without squatting, kneeling, or bending over. something that rolls.

you can. the lids for the home depote buckets are a dollar. you would probably need stronger wheels if you sit on it. also you couldn't get very low.

I am six foot and I need to be quite low. I bought this seat roller from harbor freight. it was 25 bucks. i wish it would go lower. sometimes i just use a step stool and sit on that, its maybe 8inches tall. the harbor freight one has been pretty useful. i don't use it on every detail, but 2 stage(compound+polish) i tend to use it.

I use a cheap office chair in the lowest position. You're only about a foot off the floor with a wide stable wheel frame and you can pick these up put out for garbage also. :xyxthumbs:

Absolutely brilliant! Ever since I got metro vac I have no use for that rigid so this is cool.
