Could buy two of them?

Or am I a dofus for spending over £30 on two plastic buckets? I cant stop spending on detailing s**t atm, spent £300 in the last few weeks lol.

Should I just stick to my halfords jobbies with no guards?

 

[Waitey]

A bucket is a bucket mate lol

 

[Ste Hughes]

b&q

99p a bucket

 

[gex23]

Autobrite buckets and grit-gaurds x 2.

 

[Waitey]

I don't see how anyone can be retarded enough to need a guard.

Hell i've just seen the price and seen what they are. These are literally pence from China et al. Who ever decided to sell them to detailers is making a KILLING!!

TBF mate, I'm pretty retarded

 

[gex23]

Meh, they're only £30.

The guard only stops you from wiping the bottom of the bucket. It certainly doesn't do what is says in its blurb.

You do sell houses so i'll let you off. Just use normal buckets and don't wipe the bottom of them with the mitt.

I know, I think there worth £8 for the guard and the bucket at the most.

Just go to an industrial wholesaler (use whoever your builders use) A bucket with lid will be about £2-4 for a reinforced one, they may even sell ones with the guards in the bottom.

We got a few with guards when it was foot and mouth for use with dissinfectant. We bought 15 for £40.

 

[ben_p]

Ill pop down to bears in a bit then!

[Waitey]

I'll ask where he gets them from next time i go there.

I don't know if a dissinfectant guard is different to a grit guard.

 

[Waitey]

So it doesn't have a Chemical Guys sticker on the side?

 

[Waitey]

Sadly not lol

 

[ben_p]

Ahhh I'll just pay the £50 then

 

[Curtis!]

I have a black wickes one for my soap, and two orange ones from B&Q for water/wheels. All labelled so I only ever use the same bucket for the same thing. £1 each.

If I didn't have a water supply near and only could get one lot of water I'd need two buckets for each. Being able to empty the buckets once I've done half and refil/soap helps alot.

Your not the Ashtons guy btw Ben are you?

 

[oz_clio]

Heard those CG clear ones are flimsy. Better off with the white plastic CG ones.
(Not really Chem Guys just the sticker!)

 

[kevo66]

cheap ass sparcos for me!!!! £125 each IIRC!


****edit... such a c**k! I balme wine****

You had the house next door to mine that just sold under listing

 

[ben_p]

Where? Malpass or Browning

 

[Needster]

WTF! LOL.

If you're concerned about dropping it in and getting the dirt off the bottom, get a mop bucket with that bit attached for ringing a mop out, you can rest your nicey little wash mitt on that?

 

[Aluco]

Just stopping by to post in the coolest thread of the moment.

 

[Jat_172cup]
