Ultimate Car Wash Bucket Kit, Dirt Trap, Mitt, Soap & Lid | Grit guard sinks debris to the bottom so it stays off your paint; a complete starter setup for safe at-home washing

The bucket is very high quality, as is the lid and the dirt separator insert. The soap they include is super nice and works great, tons of suds. I’ve always liked the lambs wool mitts, but this is even better. Holds a ton of liquid and is very soft. While I was using this set (and a second rinse bucket), I started feeling bad about the crappy metal bucket and filthy mitt I used to use on my Mustang back when I was in high school/college. I loved that car more than life itself, and I was scratching it all to hell each time I washed it 😭😂. Anyways, good set and I like being able to see the condition of the watch and soap mix. The handle is very sturdy and makes it easy to move the full bucket around while washing.

I really like the products. I have seen complaints about the price though, but in the long run you are going save a fortune. I use the two bucket method for wash. I bought another bucket $5 and another chemical guys dirt trap(zip ties for dirt trap in $5 bucket for easy placement & removal )dirt trap fits perfectly in chemical guys bucket. The wash is amazing. It make you feel like a pro. I will probably never pay anyone to clean my car, because my results are awesome and quick too. I use shammy towel to dry. My car stays on fleek. No scratches ever, and shine is the best ever. I will not use another method or another wash again. I did have slight leak from citrus wash, but not much though.

Sturdy bucket, dirt tray works nicely (recommend running a zip tie through it for easier grabbing), and doubles as a seat with the included lid. No issues after two uses of use.

Ah, the open road, a clean car, and the sun casting a glow on your gleaming ride. That's a scene right out of a car enthusiast's dream. Now, let’s talk about how the Chemical Guys Ultimate Scratch-Free Detailing Bucket makes this dream a reality. With every wash, I find myself becoming more of a fan. It’s been a joyful three months of our acquaintance, and every weekend is a rendezvous I look forward to. Now, I’ve had my fair share of car cleaning kits, but this one, my friends, stands in a league of its own. The durability of the accessories is something to write home about. And oh, the ease of use is like a sweet melody to any car lover’s ears. The grit guard is the unsung hero, keeping all that grime away from my car’s precious coat. What truly sets it apart from the crowd is the meticulous attention to detail - the lid, the seat, the heavy-duty bucket, all singing in a harmonious tune of functionality. You can tell, a lot of thought has been put into this kit to ensure it's not just practical but a joy to use. The Chemical Guys have crafted not just a car wash kit, but an experience. An experience that transforms a mundane chore into a joyful ritual. Each time I dip the microfiber wash mitt into the bucket, it feels like I am not just cleaning my car, but pampering it. And when I am done, I step back to admire a ride that's not just clean, but also radiates a shine that turns heads wherever I go.

** Update Sept 2018 ** After a year's worth of car washes (about once every 4-5 weeks, washing a full sized SUV and a sedan) one of the seams of the mitt unraveled and the mitt fell apart. I was able to sew it back together, but am a bit annoyed that the mitt lasted less than 20-some uses. Nothing where I would drop a star or anything, just a bit disappointed that the mitt was really no better quality than what's widely available. I did stuff it with a sponge and sew it shut so that it's now more of a microfiber sponge instead of a mitt. I also finally ran out of the soap. It's great, restores the shine on the car better than anything sold at the local autoparts store, and just a ounce is good for the entire 5 gallon bucket. I just ordered some more to replace it. -- Original review -- Pros: Good quality bucket with a strong lid The soap should last 16 car washes The mitt is nice Cons: This is a bit expensive The dirt trapping thing is a bit of a pain to remove without having to turn over the bucket Summary: So I bought this kit mainly because I wanted the dirt trapper. But, most of the reviews of the dirt trapper all talk about how it doesn't fit all that well in the standard 5 gallon HD/Lowes buckets and needed some modifications for a better fit. I didn't feel like dealing with that, so figured I'd just buy this kit with the proprietary bucket and get a little bit of other goodies as well. The dirt trap filter is a perfect fit in the bucket. True to design, it does trap a lot of the dirt in the bottom of the bucket. But, I wash using a two-bucket method, so the majority of the dirt goes in the rinse bucket anyway. The only down side is that the dirt trap fits so well that it's hard to remove without turning the bucket over. I've seen pictures where others have drilled holes in it and placed a zip tie as a loop for ease of removal, but since i have no reason to take this thing out in the middle of washing my car, I've left it as is. The bucket is a bit shorter than the usual 5 gallon bucket, but its sturdy. The lid is nice and thick as well. I thought I was going to use it as a seat when cleaning wheels and such as suggested, but I find that I still need the soapy water in the bucket for the wheels so I haven't used it for that purpose. Mostly the lid has mostly been used as a frisbee by my kids while I'm washing my car. The soap suds up nice and gives the car a nice shine. The lemony scent is kind of a gimmick since I don't go around sniffing cars for that "just washed" smell. The mitt feels of good quality. But it's a pain trying to get my hand inside the mitt when it gets wet. And it doesn't seem all that better than the standard stuff you can buy from Wallyworld. Overall, the individual items are nice, and I am happy with it all, but the value for the price is lacking. If I had to do it over again, I would probably just buy the dirt trapper by itself and save a few dollars.

At the time I purchased my set, I think it saved me 10 to 15+ bucks compared to buying the pieces individually. Works great! Soap and mit are nice too. Bucket dirt separator, I'm not sure on. I used the 2 bucket method so the dirty stuff went into other bucket, not much dirt was left for the main soap bucket. Regardless, our black colored vehicles looked great after using this set, I'd expect nothing less since the mit and all are brand new and clean... And what is nice, is now I have a special - ONLY auto washing use bucket with cover - to ensure the bucket doesn't get used for misc. bucket things like draining coolant or other cleaning tasks. Since our cars looked so nice, I took the time to apply their WAC_101_16 InstaWax and protection spray and it literally added like a shell layer of deep shine. Fantastic!

Son in law loved it

Perfect for washing cars, does the job very well

Very good quality as expected!

El shampo se abrió y se derramó sobre todo lo demás

La bouteille avait coulé dans le bac de lavage lorsque j’ai ouvert la boîte, voir la photo.

Arrived damaged. Soap had leaked onto all contents, very disappointed in product packaging. I cannot comment on quality of product, as this was intended as a gift, but glad I opened the box before wrapping ...
