THROW AWAY YOUR GRIT GUARD?! Detail Kegs founder has trick for SAFER bucket washing

Рет қаралды 42,913

Күн бұрын

It's the industry standard most of us are used to -- drop a Grit Guard into a bucket and BOOM! You're ready to wash safely, since the dirt will drop below the Grit Guard and get trapped at the bottom of your bucket as you wash. That way, the dirt won't come back into your wash medium and there is a lesser chance you will scratch the paint. But do these Grit Guards really work? In this video, Dave Barker (www.detailkegs.com) shows us his very genius solution to keeping dirt in the bucket -- and OFF OF CARS! Grit Guard fans....hold on tight! We're about to go for a ride:)

Joe from Next Level Auto Detail introduced me to the product and it has amazing cleaning abilities and foaming abilities, but now I'm interested in trying out this Fuzion to see if it will replace n-914 for both interior and exterior. Keep safe and rock on brother.

@Mr305Maxxx The grit guards are really only for keeping large particles down. Small particles that can still damage clear coat float around all through the water. SO I really would only say you need one to keep large particles down when doing something like a rinseless wash with a BRS. I really am a big fan of the multimitt method and using as many clean tools as possible vs using grit guards where there is always contaminants in the water. I would only use a grit guard now for when i do quick touch up rinseless washes with like a Big Red Sponge or similar. Very very low contaminants washes basically.

@BlackIce1619 Жыл бұрын

What is crazy is that all you need is the ability to make a mold that does this for you already and call it "Dirty Guard". I am here for you anytime! I will take one for free for the genius name. I am not a fan of CG, but their grit guard "Cyclone" also seems like a good choice due to the holes being the smallest of all, so the odds of dirt coming back through are nearly impossible.

Oh man - where do I begin! I might actually search KZfaq for "yvan lacroix rinseless wash" for a tutorial. I still like an all purpose cleaner to pre soak...then rinse with a hose...then use rinseless method. Essentially rinsless means you don't need a final rinse before wax or sealant....and for lightly soiled cars you can pre soak with your rinseleas wash product ...let it encapsulate dirt ....thej use wash medium to wash...no rinsinf required ....maybe use a spray sealant as drying aid and dry the car. Boom you are done:)

Hey Dave , I thought I would chime in here as I just saw this video and believe there is some good information, but also some things that needed to be touched upon as they are misleading. 1) The Dirt Lock is next to impossible to break when inserting it inside your wash bucket and removing it. It's made from a special blend of industrial grade plastic that is rubber based, which means it can flex and warp itself into basically any shape. What will actually break is the cheap low-end buckets with a thin wall stock after long-repeated use. We actually found a way to improve the Dirt Lock and it now self-adjusts the pressure so it applies just the right amount of tension to prevent any bucket cracking. Video demo here 👉 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZ1xqdiorJjdZIE.html 2) By stacking something underneath the Dirt Lock, it does not make any improvements, it actually prevents the Dirt Lock from generating the proper pressure it needs to flow the water and create a seal with the bucket. With the way the water flows through the Dirt Lock, there is a constant higher pressure underneath the filter and lower pressure above. This creates a suction effect pulling the debris underneath the screen and slowly releasing the cleaner water free from particles above. Therefore, I highly do not recommend putting anything underneath the Dirt Lock bucket filter, let it do it's thing as it does it extremely well! Video demo here 👉kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLKel6hqyKqaY3U.html Thank you.

So there is no problem with how low the dirt lock sits in the bottom of the bucket?

@TheDetailGuardz 4 жыл бұрын

@@HawkProDetailing Hey! Thank you for the reply back, it's really appreciated. With the first generation model (The one you are using in the video) it does not have the ability to self-adjust the tension inside the bucket, which can make it a little snug on some buckets to remove... But it will not damage or break the Dirt Lock in any way, as it's pretty much bullet-proof with the type of plastic resin we use. If you leave it inside the bucket overnight, it will actually mold itself to match the size of your bucket as the plastic has a memory to it. The newer Dirt Lock model (Made after February this year) will automatically self-adjust to fit inside nearly any 3,4,5,6,7, or 8 gallon standard wash bucket to provide just the right amount of tension. Shoot me over an email: shipping@thedetailguardz.com and I will hook you up with the latest Dirt Lock model so you can test it out for yourself! :)

@dave.barker 4 жыл бұрын

@@TheDetailGuardz hey! Thank you for the response, I learned something new today. I rewatched the video. I meant the bucket, the buckets break, not the guard in the bottom. I apologize for that confusion, I was hit with a lot of questions at once. The buckets split due to the guard pushing against the sides. I've never had a dirt lock itself break. When you say "cheap" buckets though, I would say it's happened in every style of taller bucket I've used outside of a Yeti bucket. "Taller" being even some brands of "5" gallon buckets, the quotations are because I'm pretty sure they're 4 gallon buckets advertised as 5. I appreciate you guys changing the design to help with this. I'll try to find a new style dirt lock to play with. I do believe the stacking video you posted is a little biased with having 2 grit guards. I've spent a lot time around how fluid moves in both it's natural state and when pressure is applied. I genuinely believe the baffles help with the high production I see out of my bucket. That's all I really use that grit guard for is the baffles. Sure, the height helps keep my buckets alive but for functionality it's 100% in the baffles. The holes on top are completely irrelevant as they're 300X the size of the hole on a dirt lock. It's been on my list to call you back. I know it's been awhile and I do apologize. I wanted to get a few other ducks in a row before I made the proposal. You need a dirt lock with baffles or maybe even 2 styles, 1 with and 1 without. Your every day DIY guy doesn't need it, the video you posted makes that very clear. Your detailer like myself does though. I'll duplicate the video you posted and try to convince you otherwise. Again, thank you for your response. I learned a lot this morning.

So to preface my comment I will say that I am just getting started into detailing and don't know 1/10 of what these guys do... I am not really commenting on the rinseless wash as much as regular washing but why don't more detailers use multiple wash mitts/mf vs grit guard? When I was getting into detailing I was looking at different buckets to buy and grit guards and was asking myself what is all this. I then found a pro detailer on youtube that brought up the method that I now use. I use multiple mf in my wash bucket and use both sides of it on a portion of the vehicle then throw that mf in my 'dirty' bucket. Since then I have found other pro detailers on yt using this method. Not sure why people still use the 2 bucket (or 1) with a grit guard... The dirt in your wash mitt/mf is not going to be to be totally gone just because you rubbed it against a plastic guard. Not hating on theses guys or their methods I'm just wondering why you wouldn't choose a method that seems a bit better at keeping those swirl marks to a minimum. Cheers and thanks for the video and keep up the good work.

Im so disappointed at how the industry has not adopted zero aka no bucket wash methods for wet or rinseless washing. High pressure rinsing the mitt or big red sponge as you go or using several mitts is the best way. Maybe cause companies want to sell buckets as their a high profit item.
