How to use a Grit Guard

1. Insert the grit guard to the bottom of your water bucket. If possible, we advise using two buckets with a grit guard insert in each, to optimize the results.
2. Fill buckets with water.
3. Rinse car off to remove large pieces of debris.
4. Use the wash bucket to clean car with soapy water – dirt particles will sink to the bottom.
5. You can rub the cleaning pads and mitts against the grit guard insert between washes to remove any excess dirt from the cleaning tool.
6. Wash and repeat.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: Where exactly does the grit guard sit in the bucket, and how does the two-bucket
A: The grit guard sits on the bottom of the bucket. When rinsing the mitt, push it down through the water to the guard. The guard's raised ridges break the suction of the contaminated water, allowing the mitt to release dirt particles which sink below the guard. Clean water sits above the guard; dirty rinse water stays trapped below.
Q: How does the grit guard prevent swirl marks?
A: Dirt settles below the guard when the mitt is rinsed; preventing grit from being picked up and dragged across the next panel.
Q: How does the integrated grit guard prevent swirl marks compared to washing with a
A: Grit guard integration is a fundamental scratch-prevention feature, not just a convenience. Essential for scratch-free washing.
Q: How does the two-bucket method work?
A: One bucket (with grit guard) for rinsing the mitt; a second for fresh shampoo. Always rinse before reloading with clean soap.
Q: Is the grit guard removable?
A: Typically, yes. The grit guard sits in the base and can be removed for cleaning the pail.
