ADBL Dirt Blocker is a dirt separator (bucket insert) developed to make hand washing of vehicles safer for the paintwork. The insert is placed at the bottom of the wash bucket and prevents the wash mitt or wash sponge from coming into contact with dirt that has settled at the bottom.

Thanks to the well-considered honeycomb structure, the mitt or sponge can be rinsed against the insert without dirt being carried back up to the paint surface. This is one of the fundamental principles in professional detailing work: keeping the wash media clean throughout the entire washing process.

What is Dirt Blocker and why choose it?

A dirt separator such as the ADBL Dirt Blocker reduces the risk of particles and coarse dirt that collect at the bottom of the bucket being transferred back to the wash mitt or sponge during rinsing. It is precisely this type of contamination that causes scratches and swirl marks in the paintwork – a well-known problem in detailing.

ADBL Dirt Blocker is designed with an ergonomic shape that makes it easier to rinse the mitt against the insert compared to older, flatter separators. The material is manufactured from impact-resistant plastic for a long service life in a professional environment.
