tried it today. sure is easier than the hand in the sink method. worked very well.
Nice design. I`m impressed
I have a few questions about your ghetto pad washer. How far down from the top of the bucket did you make the cuts for the windows in the bucket? How wide are the windows in the bucket? How did you make the cuts so clean? I assumed you used a dremel tool. Did you put bolts through the bucket to support the Grit Guard in its new location?
Can you please tell me how far from the top of the buckets you made the cuts and how wide they are?
call me crazy but I enjoy the process of pad washing...I like to see the pad all nasty and watch all the stuff I cut out of the previous sad looking vehicle to get it to where it is now just rinse away...but that`s just me...I`m a little crazy

You are really over thinking it. As long as there are holes for the water to escape it does not matter where or how big. I put 2 grit guards in one bucket, then put another bucket in the first bucket on top of the 2 grit guards and used the lip of the first bucket to draw a nice even line around the second bucket. Then I did maybe 10" wide openings 180° apart. I can measure when I get home if you still want more info.
Thank you. I don,t want to put you to a lot of trouble. Any other information you deem important. Otherwise thanks for the info.

Some buckets are smaller than others and make the construction of the unit easier. I used one of the blue Lowes buckets and the grit guard only goes 1/2 the way down eliminating the need to attach rubber to the grit guard to keep it off the bottom. Take your grit guard along when shopping for a bucket.
