Last spring I ordered the two buckets /dolly and grit gaurds. My mistake was ordering the same color (clear) or non-color. I hated looking to see which bucket was which before

rinse my mit so I used some colored electrical tape. This scheme works for me since "red" means danger or the dirty bucket! Painting would have been my second choice. I figured

if the tape didn't hold up I would.

That can work. I have seen some put something on the rim (something like a large binder clip) to tell them apart as well with just a glance.
 
I use the orange HD buckets. I wrote Wash in one and Rinse in the other.
 
This is how even the simplest tasks of detailing can confuse!! I can't tell you how many times I've done this! :doh: :laughing:

Welcome to the club Chet and a bunch of great solutions...:laughing: :props:
 
Hoyt, you could've gotten a bunch of bio-hazard signs too, LOL! I have an old PepBoys bucket that I use for my rinse water and the new Home Depot bucket with measurements on the side for clean stuff.

I bought the AG labels for wash and rinse buckets for like 8 bucks. (I like my stuff to be consistant, AG buckets = AG labels)
 
I have one white bucket and one black bucket. White for rinse, black for wash. Impossible to confuse them :xyxthumbs:.
 
I just attach a couple stickers to mine, I had 2 stickers that were the same, but the outline was green on one and red on the other, I also have different colored grit guards, but I've never made the mistake of mixing buckets so..
