How do you keep the grit guard from floating up to the top????
 
Take it out and use as mini table for supplies....thats what I did:D. I haven't used a grit guard in a long time, never saw any advantage as if you stir the water up anyway, dirt particles are still going to get away from the guard. But I don't let the water get dirty, rinse shmitt off quickly then dunk again = no dirt in bucket.

Somebody mentioned using some putty a long time ago, to hold the guards down.
 
I have a 5 gallon bucket from home depot with a lid.

It is almost clear and has markings for liters on one side and gallons on the other.

My grit gaurd just wedges down in nice and snug.

same here MotorCity...i have two 5 gallon buckets....1 Wolfgang from AG the other from US plastic...i do own a rectangler Bucket/Grit Guard from Eurow ..the gritguard won't stay down..i don't use it to wash anymore ,but it comes in handy when carring my products it also has a nice lid to cover the bucket
 
It fits nice and snug on the bottom of my bucket. Lowes has some nice 5 gallon buckets -5 bucks with a foam covered handle.
 
Yea, I looked at that bucket too from Lowes. Good bucket with measurement markings on it. Nice for getting the right amount of water in it.
 
I have the Lowe's 5 gallon painters buckets, it's a bit see through with blue letters on it. Fits perfectly and never floats.

I am still wondering if it really works though, I never see any dirt on the bottom of my bucket!
 
I washed, clayed, and waxed my wife's car last weekend. It was very dirty. I put the Grit Guard in the rinse bucket. There was some dirt there. For 8 or 9 dollars, it is cheap insurance that the dirt gets off the mitt.
 
I have the Wolfgang bucket and it came with a grit guard. I cut the legs off a little bit so I can use less water yet the guard is still effective. It doesn't float because it gets wedged into the bucket...

You could glue on some weights to keep it down... :)
 
I twist it around in the water so that the air bubbles will come off. I just shake it until it stays :-D
 
Wedge it it should fit SNUG in the Bottom - A couple of large rubber bands streched around the Fins will snug it up also.
 
The Grit Card has saved thousands of hours of swirl removal.
