Wasn't too thrilled with the grit guard. At the dimensions of the new guard when filling the bucket to the required amount of water and product there was less than 1/2 inch of available water to use in the washing of the car. I fixed the problem with a pair cutters and lowered the grit guard. More water for the rag. Maybe DI could make the grit guards so you can adjust them for your buckets and required wash product.

Love the Grit Guard and Bucket! I'm sure I will get another Bucket and Grit Guard.

The buckets are sturdy and the grit guards fit perfectly. I was however disappointed that they did not have a level or marker for measuring. Even the bucket I bought from the grocery store has markers in gallons, quarts and liters. Now if I want to use just 2 gallons or 4 gallons I have to use something else for measuring.

I purchased the grit guard buckets from Detailed Image because i wanted to ensure the grit guards fit perfectly inside the buckets. I was not disappointed.

This is a must-have for your supplies, the grit guard will fit. It's essential!

This product is worth every penny! I use the two bucket system, both have grit guards to ensure that when I am washing my vehicles, etc. that I have no dirt or other items that will scratch the paint. This is the only way to wash your vehicles to ensure that you do not scratch the paint.

I bought a grit guard combo from another site and was not happy with the fit of the grit guard. The grit guard would not sit flush against the bottom of the bucket. I decided to give DI buckets a try and the grit guards fit perfectly and are cheaper than most sites. I am very pleased with them!

I love these and always use them now when I am not doing touch-less with my cannon. I have finally upgraded to 2x4 with my grit guards and love the extra security of having my wash media so far away from dirt, grime, and anything else bad that gets trapped on the cars.

Good quality bucket and grit guard. Agree with Jamie that they are expensive for two pieces of plastic, but a grit guard is SO essential to a proper car detaling that it is worth the money.

Ordered the combo along with another bucket, first used of the buckets with the grit guard in my rinse bucket was awesome, so easy to clean the mitt and the amount of junk at the bottom of the bucket when I was done was TONS more then before. Plus the buckets are nice, 5 gallons is a perfect amount of water for a good wash, and they are super sturdy!

A little overpriced for whats included, as its just a basic contractor bucket, but the grit guard works great.
