Grit Guard bucket

[EPHIOS]

Does anyone know where I can purchase a Grit Guard wash bucket? I have look anywhere locally, but it seems to be only available online. I think Meguairs does not sell one. Thanks!

Re: Grit Guard bucket

For now, you can only buy them online. I called the manufacturer several months ago, and while they are in negotiation to start selling the Grit Guard (there is no Grit Guard bucket, only the Grit Guard itself) in auto parts stores, there is currently no retail option.

Re: Grit Guard bucket

If you're referring to the actual bucket, it is just any 5 gallon bucket. I purchased mine at ACE Hardware.

To save money you can get grit guards at ads, or autogeek alone, and go to homedepot and get the (Homer buckets "orange ones") and it works perfectly. You will spend less then 20.00 for 2.

Re: Grit Guard bucket

Like the above post said, do not get the buckets online, they're a rip off. Buy the grit guards online only and get the buckets yourself, it'll fit fine.

Re: Grit Guard bucket

I'd get the Grit Guard and then measure it, and then go buy your bucket, just to be safe. But yeah, any store should have some 5 gallon type that works.

FWIW, I have read where some buckets taper towards the bottom and the Grit Guard doesn't go all the way to the bottom.
The measure and check suggestion is a good one.

Re: Grit Guard bucket

may i ask why you want the grit gaurd bucket ? its literally the same bucket you would get at lowes or home depot with just a grit gaurd logo on the bucket...i ordered my grit gaurds from ADS..then went to lowes and spent 4 bucks for 5 gallon buckets

Re: Grit Guard bucket

When buying to bucket, look straight down the sides. If it goes straight down then you are probably good. If you see it taper in, the guard will probably only go 3/4 the way down.

Re: Grit Guard bucket

I had bad luck with lowes ones it didn't fit. Just bring your guards with you. So you wont be going store to store returning it because it wont fit.

The Homer buckets with a snap on lead are less than $5. No one seems to be discounting the grit guards (manufacturer must be setting a floor price) except through the usual discount codes, etc.
