My first reaction... are the holes enough to let dirt get under it. I guess it filters it also. Just scanned it on my fb feed.
 
I just saw that to me don't fix something if its not broken.. Im sure they will make money off it
 
that's been out for many years and never really took off. stick with a GG...
 
I'm sure they'll claim it's revolutionary and developed with super magical "technology"
 
I agree, it doesn't look like it would be as effective in letting the dirt get through.
 
Dunno if I would use that as my grit guard. I may use it to strain my spaghetti though.

It needs CG's logo on it, then it will sell! Looks interesting though, surprised noone has reviewed it since its been around so long.

The idea is that dirt drops down and gets trapped. The CG "guard" with minimal holes would likely do the opposite. Are you sure it is a grit guard equivalent? Too lazy to google about it.
 
The only difference I can see is underneath. I guess the "filter" helps capture the dirt particles.

Not totally sure but I think my dual GG might be more effective.
 
That doesn't look like it would even work based off just the design.
 
They were originally called dirt guard. I talked to a rep at the company a year or so ago but she didn't really sell me on it. She did say that if I bought one and did a comparison and the dirt guard didn't capture more particles she would let me return it and pay return shipping. I just never did it though.
 
Whoever posted the strainer might be on to something, flip that puppy upside down in the bucket. Now you can use it like a juicer and twist your mitt on it!
 
has anyone used a clear bucket(if they make one) to see if the particles actually fall and stay below the gaurds.
With exception to rocks and bigger bits of dirt that will fall almost immediately most of the smaller stuff stays in suspension for a while. Obviously after a good amount of time all the sediments will drop to the bottom but when I wash mine or another car I only really have about 10-15 minutes of bucket time. I just dont see that short amount of time enough to have clear water on top and the sediments on the bottom.
Im fairly new so go easy on me if that sounds dumb

I myself am a fan of their products. Most are able to be diluted and they work and smell great. I'm not a fan of a lot of their accessories though. I do love their wash mitt though. Super soft. I don't care for the repeat products though. Do many are designed for the same application.
 
I can't imagine all that much grit getting through. It looks like the odds are against the dirt from actually getting through but who knows, it might work.

From my perspective, the idea of the grit guard is to let the dirt, grit and contaminants settle to the bottom of the bucket. The veins keep the water below the grill from agitating so that dirt does not swirl back up and re-attach to the wash mitt.
I can't see how dirt can settle to the bottom with this design as the holes are way too small, and most of the dirt released into the water will only settle on top of the CG guard itself.
 
I've used one a couple times about 3 years ago. It was all right but have been using the grit guards for years now and just more comfortable with them.

After using it, I drained the bucket and their were indeed alot of dirt traped in/on the foam filter but best I remembered I didn't like the fact that this was another thing I was going to have to clean out and just how long before I had to buy another filter.

Plus the fact that after being use to feeling my wash mit scrubbing against the grit guard, this was almost like rubbing against your keyboard keys.
