| May i suggest that if u buy a bucket get one with a grit catcher at the bottom, This basically keeps all the grit at the bottom of the bucket so that you don't wash ur car with a gritty sponge.lol Does every 1 know what i mean.  | |

| http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/meguiars-grit-guard-and-bucket/prod_232.html £20 Screw that. id rather empty the bycket when dirty than pay an extra £17 for one :@ On the Bright side, is a good idea  But not for me, (im not wanting serious detail, but for the car to be clean all round) | |
