New Wash Bucket

[Nickc0844]

Hey y`all,

Simply amazing, Wally World is really putting the boost on their detailing selection. They now carry A LOT of Black Magic products, among which I stumbled upon this:

It`s a 4 gallon wash bucket with a grit guard at the bottom for only $9.79! Meg`s wants $16+ for theirs, and doesn`t even come with a bucket. You can`t beat it!

The grit guard is about 1.5" off the surface, however, it does have a problem....it floats! I need to find somehow to keep this down at the bottom of the bucket.

It has 2 handles, and they are rubber gripped, so they feel good and you won`t drop the bucket while moving.

I was pretty impressed with it today, except for the floating part.

The graphics are optional :)

I printed them out on the computer, sprayed some aerosol adhesive, and then cut out the letters individually with a razor.

Unfortunately, it didn`t stick well when I went to spray paint it, but the razor marks were clear as day, so I took a paint marker and filled them it. Came out pretty good!

Nice find.

I have the same bucket, been playing with it for a few weeks. It floats for sure. I find that if you leave the grit guard in there when mixing your soap solution it helps, why I don`t know. For $10 it is a nice bucket.

Yes Nick.................... but the one at Wally world doesn`t say "Meguiar`s" on it! :D

I remember seeing that Bucket. Works not bad from reviews. You can make your own grit guard, just as long as u tie it down and use a chicken wire setup.

Could it be that it is designed to float to keep the stuff flushed off the top of the guard?

Yes Boss, I have a new found respect for Meg`s and Wally World...........just bad experiences with both in the past :)

Good call Charles, I`m not quite sure what the floating part could add?

Sweet Nick, I`ll have to pick one up and try it out..............

[unclearty]

how about 4 large stainless steel nuts wire tied to the bottom of the grit guard......?

I just picked up some Blackmagic detail brushes tonight from Wally World they look like someone put some thought in making them. they also look kinda jazzy

[Nickc0844]

I agree Buff, I was impressed with what they have come up with. With their advertising too, it looks as if they are making a run toward Turtle Wax and Meg`s.
