The Detail Guardz Dirt Lock Car Wash Bucket Insert

Works well. Better than cheap dirt locks. Love the design. Well thought out

The best grit guards out there, by a million miles.

They have changed the design of the tabs that hold the guard in place. It used to be adjustable but now it's just flexible plastic tabs you bend whoch that don't secure it quite as well. However still does the job and probably the best grit guard available in my opinion.

I ordered this based on reviews from other websites. I haven’t used it yet, but as the photo shows it arrived in this condition where one of the plastic ‘legs’ shows extreme stress. How long this will last I don’t know. I’m disappointed in the condition of the item, but if it does what it‘s designed for & lasts until winter, I will be mildly happy.

This is a weighty well built item that should last a lifetime. Bought it after seeing a review explaining the science behind the design and how it prevents dirt being stirred back up into the bucket – and it seems to work fine. Very impressed.Word of warning, this device needs a full size bucket, typically five gallons, as it did not fit two 3.5 gallon buckets I already owned (standard type from Halfords and B&Q) so I ended up buying a new one.
