Dirt Dropper is my choice of wash bucket guards.
Anyone who is in to Auto Detailing knows the benefit of some form of &#34;guard&#34; in the bottom of their wash bucket to prevent dirt & grit from swirling around in the wash bucket and being transferred back on to the vehicles paint.<br />I compared three of these &#34;guards&#34; and purchased two for my buckets.<br />One is the Grit Guard, probably the most common guard out there in while it is a nice design I quickly became tired with putting my arm to the very bottom of the wash bucket to scrub my lambswool mitt and soaking my arm up to my elbow with each rinse.<br />The Dirt Dropper has the benefit of the Grit Guard while offering another benefit-<br />a side &#34;washboard  to scrub the dirt out of your mitt with a bottom guard to keep the dirt where it belongs, in the bottom of your wash bucket.It is made of much thicker plastic than the Grit Guard and has a stainless steel screw to secure it to the side of your wash bucket so even with aggressive scrubbing it stays in place.<br />Why only 4 out of 5 stars?<br />I feel the bottom guard should be more like the Grit Guard to allow less turbulence in the bottom of the bucket as the Dirt Drpper is more wide open than the Grit Guard but even with this design it still is my first choice in guards.
