PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Introduction
During washing, the paint of the vehicles may suffer swirl marks or scratches through contaminated water. This may be as a result of buskers allowing sand, grit, and abrasive debris to remain suspended in the water after rinsing wash mitts and sponges. However, the SONAX Professional 5 Gallon Wash Bucket with Grit Guard helps improve safe washing by separating dirt particles from the clean water. It comes with a grit guard that traps abrasive debris beneath the wash water level.What the Product Does
The SONAX Professional Wash Bucket ensures that abrasive contaminants are not transferred back onto the paint surface of your vehicle during washing. It does this by separating dirt particles from the active wash water through a grit guard system. The grit guard system holds dirt, sand, and abrasive debris beneath the guard structure in the lower section of the bucket. These dirts are less likely to return into the upper wash water during agitation, therefore improving the paint surface is safe during contact washing.Features
- Integrated Grit Guard System: It comes with a dirt-separation insert which is placed at the bottom of the bucket. This helps to trap abrasive particles beneath the wash water during vehicle cleaning.
- 5-Gallon Capacity: To support professional vehicle washing, it comes with a large capacity(5-Gallon). This ensures longer washing sessions can be completed with fewer water refills.
- Multi-Vehicle Compatibility: You can make use of this bucket system when washing your cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and other automotive surfaces.
- Wash Mitt Cleaning Surface: The grit guard allows wash mitts and sponges to be agitated during rinsing. Helping in improving dirt release efficiency.
- Stable Base Structure: Its wide bucket base improves balance and stability during use and transport.
- Reusable Wash System: It is reusable as the bucket and the grit guard can be used multiple times after each washing session. After each use, wash properly.
Benefits
- Improved Wash Mitt Cleanliness: Wash mitts and sponges release trapped dirt more effectively against the grit guard surface. This ensures that the mitts and sponges remain clean whenever it makes contact with the vehicle surface.
- Professional-Level Wash Safety: The bucket system supports safer detailing practices common to professional vehicle care environments.
- Longer Wash Media Lifespan: It increases the lifespan of washing mitts as the fibres are not constantly filled with abrasive contaminants.
- Greater Workflow Efficiency: Large water capacity and stable construction improve detailing workflow during multi-stage washing procedures.
How to Use
- Place the Grit Guard: Add water to the bucket to your desired level. Place the Grit guard and let it sink to the bottom.
- Fill the Bucket: In another bucket, fill it with clean water and add a car shampoo. You decide the water level and the amount of car shampoo determine how well the water will foam.
- Wash the Vehicle: Immerse the wash mitt or sponge into the shampoo solution and apply across the paint surface using gentle motions.
- Rinse the Wash Mitt: After washing each panel using the water with the car shampoo, rub the mitt or sponge against the grit guard in the other bucket. This helps to remove any form of dirt or contaminants on the sponge or mitt.
- Repeat Process: Repeat the washing process using both buckets until you have covered the whole surface area of the car.
- Empty and Clean the Bucket: After washing the whole car, rinse and dry the body of the car. Wash the buckets and the girt guard properly before storing.
