I was at Wal-Maart this morniing, and while NXT is yet to show anywhere in Dallas that I am aware of, Blak Magic sure has rolld out a whole line of detailing "tools".
The latest one to catch my eye (and wallet) is their new grit-trap bucket.
It is a 4 gallon bucket that vaguely resembles an upside down fireman`s hat.
Wide bucket lips on the left and right side, but the coolest part is the grate that completely covers the bottm of the bucket suspending your cleaning tools about 1-2 inchs from the bottom of the bucket.
Sounds like a perfect bucket for QEW.
At around $9, I couldn`t pass it up!!
Sorry, no pics. Digital camera stolen just after Christmas (which I can deal with, but did they have to slash my convertible top to get in? couldn`t they have just smashed a window?)

I bought the same one Saturday, used it for QEW, worked great. Nice to have things like this locally available!

Do you happen to have a pic of it??? I was at Walmart and saw their new line of Black Magic products.
I picked up their 3 pack of new wax apps and notice a little detailing carrying bucket. Didn`t see a wash bucket. Will have to look for it next time.

After getting burned when I purchased Black Magic`s Tire Wet, I swore never to buy anything by Black Magic or Westley again. That product was simply garbage ... the worst car care product I`ve ever purchased.
I`m sure Black Magic`s lastest offering is worth the $9, but I refuse to support them.

Very Nice! I definately see the resemblance to the fireman`s hat. I`ll probably pick one up for good QEW`ing.

Thanks for the pics...
Wow...not bad... something to think about next time I`m at Wal Mart.
It holds 4 gals so that good. I usually use the two bucket method with 2 5 gallon buckets.

If I could find the smiley that laughs and rolls around, it would work here.
Did you notice how small it was? For those who haven`t seen it: make two fists 1.5 inches apart, picture a handle in-between them and make it out of red plastic.

Four gallons to be exact, but I was referring to the little "detailing bucket" that Black Magic had on the bottom shelf of the Wal*Mart aisle. Sorry--too many buckets in one thread!

I`ve found that the one in Industry at Asuza and the 60 has a lot of stuff. I haven`t seen the bucket yet, but they have a lot of the Black Magic stuff. I noticed a new Wal-Mart around West Covina the other day driving down the 10. I wonder if that one`s open yet.
