grit guards?

is that the little thing that goes at the bottom of the bucket?

cleaning noob tbh

[Ferg]

Yeah sits at the bottom of the bucket to reduce the risk of contaminating the cleaning mitt...

[TU-Tuning]

Never seen the point in these, personally when I use my mitt I dont take it off my hand to clean it in the rinse bucket, I put it in the water with my hand inside it and dip it half way down the bucket, and ruffle the fluff about for five seconds or so with my other hand. The Grit Guards arent gonna stop the little bits of sediment swirling about in any situation, only the mitt from touching the bottom and getting 'contaminated' with grit

The only time youd need one is if you actually took the mitt off and left it to sink to the bottom ( even though mine floats ), or if you actually swished it around the bottom of the bucket, which would just be plain dumb


Anyone tell me why these things are worth a tenner of anyones money?

[Viper]

wow, ben, you just saved me a load of typing :y:

instead of a grit guard, why nor just replace the water?

[Branter33]

What you said ben does make sense when using your rinse bucket, as the water level stays near the top of the bucket.

Though I do use one in my wash bucket, as it is inevitable you will get some dirt at the bottom of the bucket. Really just helps prevent you getting dirt in the mitt when the water is low and reduces the risk of swirling :y:

[Graham]

doesnt it prevent the dirt at the bottom of the bucket come up if you swirl your wash mitt around the water?

dont see how though... the grit guard has lots of gaps in it, therefore lettign the grit swirl around.. lol

[Branter33]

You really only need to give the wash mitt a few dips into the rinse bucket. Thats enough to pull the majority of the dirt out of it. :y:

You don't need to get too splash happy in the bucket :panic: therefore the weight of the dirt will keep it at the bottom of your bucket :y:

Haha interesting point from both sides tbh...

It will reduce the risk of swirling but inevitably some dirt will always float upwards anyways. Always use clean water and dont be scared to go and get more if you can see its starting to get dirty...save the tenner and buy a lambswool washmitt so you have a seperate one for bodywork and wheels :y:

[TU-Tuning]

Or just use a wheel brush ;)

[Viper]

cock.

have been cleaning my wheels all day. taken them off the car and theyre in the kitchen now. never once touched my wheel brush..

fuck
