  • KEEPS DIRT AT THE BOTTOM: Directional channels trap grit and debris below the insert so your wash mitt stays in cleaner water, reducing swirl marks and scratches during car washing.

  • BUILT FOR PRO DETAILING: Made from premium, high-strength resin for long-term durability. Designed and manufactured in Canada by DETAIL GUARDZ, trusted by detailing professionals worldwide.

  • Works in Lowe’s Bucket
Color: Black
Overall, good heavy duty plastic. It fits perfectly in Lowe’s 5 gallon bucket with the rubber spacers removed. Fully seats to the bottom of the bucket with no movement. Seems like it will work great and hold up well.

  • An essential on your car wash
Color: Red
Size fits perfect on your brand store buckets, good value, good quality thickness, separates the dirt and keeps them at the bottom so it stays there and out of your washing mitts

  • Love this product
Color: Black
Great product but must use with the rest of their dirt lock system. When that is done this whole system is amazing. Works great for cleaning buffing pads!

  • Work great - Could Use Better Grips
Color: Gold
I tried spraying water full force at these at the top and then at the bottom, and it was easy to see how much the top lets through but the bottom doesn't. These are a great design and actually do trap dirt. They're awkward to pull out of your bucket, however, as the finger grips are tiny and the the solid design means the traps really stick tight to the edges. ... show more

  • The BEST Grit Guard on the Market!
Color: Black
I've struggled for a year trying to keep Chemicals Guys' grit guard in their branded buckets for a year, and I finally had to trash them and go for these Detail Guardz, which were recommended by Pan the Organizer on YouTube. They truly are the BEST because the rubberized clips on the bottom hold them in place inside the buckets of water or solution. I won't buy anything else from now on! ... show more

Very useful this item for washing my car so it won’t get scratch with the debris and dirt.

  • Great product, sturdy and well built.
Color: White
The only thing I see an issue with is bucket size fitment. I have two white ace hardware buckets that I use, this is very tight fitting in the bottom but its not a huge deal. Filling the bucket with very hot water allowed it to go all the way down to the bottom. One thing I really like over standard grit guards is that this one sits much lower, when doing rinseless washes it really helps when you're only using 2 1/2 gallons of water. I feel by sitting lower it allows me to dunk much easier and get the sponge/mitt wet without worrying that the mitt wasn't fully submerged. ... show more
