  • PROTECT YOUR VEHICLE'S FINISH - The Cyclone Dirt Trap is a car wash filter that uses nearly 300 cyclonic funnels to trap dirty wash water under the filter and keep abrasive particles off your mitt for the perfect scratch-free wash.

  • ESSENTIAL DETAILING TOOL - Chemical Guys' Dirt Trap is a must-have for car enthusiasts, effectively trapping dirt and grit to prevent scratching during the wash process.

    • Best dirt filter for 5 Gal Bucket Wash
Color: Red

After reading the other reviews, consider the complaints of others. Filter doesn't fit normal 5 gal bucket. Try the 5 gal Home Depot transparent mixing bucket from the paint department for $6. The filter disk is not supposed to sit on the bottom unless you wish to limit the dirt to the bottom 2 inches of the bucket. It fits perfectly in the bucket I ref. I found a pro tip to use a zip tie to aid in removal. I used the 2 short center opposing holes, as it's easy to pull from there. When I used the dirt traps the first time, I was amazed that the water under the trap was noticeably black dirty in the transparent bucket. In addition, the wash water bucket grid was filthy underneath, I used a wheel brush with a tiny bit of soap to clean after use. As far as the whole size, mine were fine, not sure if some batches were different, but mine are consistent. Finally, I picked up "Fasmov 3 Pcs Plant Pallet Caddy" from Amazon to put the buckets on to roll around my washing area. They are made very sturdy, wheels are not perfect, but they are a fraction of the price for the bucket dollies. ... show more

    • It fits older 5 gallon buckets / not newer ones.
Color: Lime Green
I bought two of these wash bucket inserts and they work great. Reading several reviews, many note that it does not fit in the "standard" 5 gallon buckets you typically buy at big-box stores. Here's the scoop.... They fit perfectly in standard 5 gallon buckets that were produced several years back - I have several buckets that are 10 years old. However, many of the buckets you buy at Home Depot/Lowes/Menards/etc... today are actually smaller at the bottom than older buckets (my speculation is they save some money on material when producing the buckets to help improve the margin on the product sold). So, if you have or can find "older" 5 gallon buckets, this product fits great out of the box. If you go to Home Depot and buy a 5 gallon bucket today, it will not go all the way down to the bottom of the bucket and fits lousy (I read where several people sand/remove some of the material from the bucket insert to get it to fit - sounds like it would work but is a hassle, in my opinion). Best option, find an "older" bucket - it will work great. Also, a great tip I read from another review.... Put a plastic zip tie through the middle of the bucket insert. This will give you something to grab onto to pull it out of the bucket when you want to remove it. This is a great little trick. ... show more

    • Effective Dirt Removal - Chemical Guys Cyclone Dirt Trap Car Wash Bucket Insert Review
Color: Red
The Chemical Guys DIRTTRAP02 Cyclone Dirt Trap Car Wash Bucket Insert has proven to be a valuable addition to my car washing routine. This innovative product effectively removes dirt and debris, enhancing the overall cleanliness of my vehicle. The concept behind the Cyclone Dirt Trap is simple yet ingenious. By placing the insert at the bottom of the wash bucket, it creates a barrier that prevents dirt and debris from being agitated and reintroduced onto the wash mitt or sponge. This mechanism proved to be highly effective in trapping contaminants and preventing them from spoiling the cleaning process. The 12" diameter of the insert fits well within most standard wash buckets, making it suitable for washing cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs, and more. I found that it provided ample coverage and prevented dirt from being stirred up while I washed my vehicle. Installation and use were straightforward, and I appreciated the convenience it brought to my car washing routine. The insert stayed securely in place at the bottom of the bucket, and I noticed a visible reduction in the amount of dirt and debris accumulating in the wash water. While the Cyclone Dirt Trap's performance in removing dirt and debris is commendable, I did notice that larger particles or heavier contaminants occasionally bypassed the insert and remained in the wash bucket. However, this was a minor issue and did not significantly affect the overall effectiveness of the product. The durable construction of the insert is evident, and it has held up well after multiple uses. It rinses off easily and can be quickly cleaned between washes. In conclusion, the Chemical Guys DIRTTRAP02 Cyclone Dirt Trap Car Wash Bucket Insert offers a practical and effective solution for preventing dirt and debris from marring the car washing process. Its innovative design and functionality have improved the cleanliness of my vehicle and simplified my car washing routine. While there is room for further refinement to capture larger particles, the Cyclone Dirt Trap's overall performance warrants a solid four-star rating. It has become a valuable tool in my car care regimen, and I recommend it to fellow car enthusiasts seeking to elevate their car washing results. ... show more
