Grit Guard , any ole bucket?

[sas71]

will a Grit Guard fit any ole 5 gal bucket?

 

[Yukon Cornelius]

Pretty much

Not really. I had to go to alot of different deparment stores to find which 5 gal bucket worked with the grit guard. Like if you find a bucket thats too small. Then the grit guard doesn't reach the bottle, but holds the grit from floating and if you find one with a big bottom, then the grits guard going to float to the top.

mine seems pretty universal to standard paint bucket types. I get the bucket at local hardware store for 2 bucks. Obviously it works in the Pinnacle Bucket/Dolly system too.

Home depot(Homer paint) buckets work great with it.

Homer Bucket (Home Depot) works for me.

I use one bucket as just a rinse bucket. And the soap bucket has two grit guards in it.

The wash mitt, or in my case, a micro fiber cloth, goes from the soap bucket to the car, then into the rinse bucket, then back to the soap bucket. And the water in the rinse bucket is changed several times during a wash. And even with all that rinsing, there is still a small amount of dirt scum at the bottom of the soap bucket after a wash.

well i bought 2/5gal buckets from Lowes and the grit guard only goes down a tad more than half way. i guess i should have gotten the GG first then i could have taken it with me bucket shopping. naturally i tossed the receipt to. oh well i can still use it ill just have to fill the rinse bucket almost to the brim

I got a bucket from Lowes and the grit guard goes down to the bottom. It's the one with the easy grip handle.
