What is the Cyclone Dirt Trap bucket grid from Chemical Guys?

It is a 30.48 cm circular insert that is placed at the bottom of a wash bucket to trap dirt under its filter. The mitt is unloaded onto it, and abrasive particles remain isolated from the clean water.

How does the Dirt Trap’s cyclonic filter work?

The underside of the grid has nearly 300 cyclonic funnels that work like a check valve and let dirt pass in only one direction. Once below the filter, the particles do not rise back into the wash solution, even when dipping the glove again.

What is the difference between the Cyclone Dirt Trap and a classic bucket grate?

A classic grit guard is a simple perforated separator that keeps deposits at the bottom, while the Cyclone Dirt Trap adds one-way filtration and ribbed rings to scrub the mitt. Cleaning the mitt is therefore done directly on the grit guard, without re-suspension.

Does a bucket grit guard really prevent micro-scratches?

Swirl marks mainly come from grains of sand and dust brought back from the bucket to the bodywork. By keeping these particles under the filter, the grid greatly reduces the risk of micro-scratches during hand washing, without eliminating it if the mitt is dirty or worn.

How to use it with the two-bucket method?

Place a grid in the bucket of wash solution and one in the bucket of clean water, then wash an area, rub the mitt on the ribs of the rinse bucket and reload it in the wash solution before moving on to the next area. A Citrus Wash and Gloss shampoo and a chenille microfiber mitt complete the wash station.

Is the grid compatible with all wash buckets?

It is designed for standard wash buckets with an interior diameter of 30.48 cm, into which it is forcefully pushed down until it presses against the wall. On a narrower bucket, such as the FullCarX detailing bucket, it is better to choose a model supplied with its own grid.

Instructions for use of the Cyclone Dirt Trap bucket grid Chemical Guys

The grid requires no assembly or special maintenance. It is placed at the bottom of the bucket before washing and rinsed at the end of the session.

Installation

Fill the bucket with your wash solution or your rinse water.
Place the grid flat over the bucket opening, ribbed side facing up.
Press firmly and evenly until it drops to the bottom and fits snugly against the wall.

Washing with the two-bucket method

Prepare one bucket of wash solution and one bucket of clean water, each equipped with its grid.
Load the mitt in the wash solution and wash an area of the vehicle from top to bottom.
Dip the mitt into the rinse bucket and rub it on the ribs to release the dirt.
Rinse the mitt, wring it out, reload it in the wash solution, and move on to the next area.

Good to know

Check the inner diameter of your bucket: the grid is designed for standard 30,48 cm buckets.
Empty the bucket at the end of washing and rinse the grid with a jet to remove the particles trapped under the filter.
Let the grid air-dry before storing it, away from direct sunlight.
Do not use the grid as a step stool: it is designed for filtration, not to support weight.
