What is a Bucket Separator and why choose it?
A bucket separator, also known as a grit guard, is a grid placed in the bottom of the wash bucket. When wash mitts or microfibre cloths are rinsed in the bucket, dirt and particles sink below the grid and remain there, rather than swirling back up and becoming trapped in the wash media. This significantly reduces the risk of scratches and swirl marks in the paintwork.
The Dirt Guard from FX PROTECT contributes to a safer and more controlled wash result, which is particularly important when working with recently applied Coating or Sealant where the paint surface is especially sensitive.
