0 Feets31 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I use two in my bucket now. One on the bottom where it is supposed to go and one free standing to use as a scrub surface. But that is a neat idea. ccommodari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is a neat idea. ive toyed with the idea of cutting one and modifying it to be similar to what the above photo shows. but looks like grit guard was already thinking about it. I will definitely be purchasing one of these when they are ready for purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Feets31 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I looked in several places and do not see a mention of them. Luan Lamb is the president of the company. So they may not be out yet. I send him a message off of their site to see if I could get some more information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Feets31 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Just heard back from Luan Lamb and they expect them out in February. They are still tweaking them a little bit and are a little behind in getting them made. So they should be available for spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 stripesace Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Are there any cut-away videos or clear bucket videos of GritGuards in action? jackdurkin63 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mooser Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Weird, I would have thought they (grit-guard) already made these since the dirt-droppers have been around for awhile. Also a must have for cleaning the tire and fender well brushes. M Edited December 16, 2015 by Mooser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LT1xL82 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I think DirtDroppers is history. I'll buy 1 or more WashBoards as soon as they are available. They look great for brushes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Zach5.9CTD Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Love the idea. Wonder if adams will grab a hold and sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dan@Adams Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I do agree it would be nice for long handle fender brushes or wheel woolies that are difficult to fit down into the grit guard at the bottom of the bucket, but other than that I would be just fine with the regular Grit Guard. I did share this thread with Adam and the team to get their thoughts as well. I'll keep everyone posted. pirahnah3, DieselDude and Erictski 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Feets31 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 They would be great for the wash mitts also. I always stand mine up when rubbing a used mitt in the rinse bucket. LT1xL82 and Kingsford 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kingsford Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 They would be great for the wash mitts also. I always stand mine up when rubbing a used mitt in the rinse bucket. I don't stand mine up because of fright of stirring up the stuff at the bottom, but I agree about the mitt. While the grit guard works great now, I like this because it isn't round which reduces unwanted spinning of the grit guard, I also feel like this will allow for better surface contact to the pad because it's not contained by the sides of the bucket.

0 NG13 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I would buy a couple. One for my rinse bucket and one for my wheel/tire bucket. LT1xL82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 butters Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 (edited) Are there any cut-away videos or clear bucket videos of GritGuards in action? I'd love to see this as well. I'm a bit skeptical when it comes to the grit guard... I imagine scrubbing at the bottom just stirs up the dirt/grit and does as much or more harm than good (and I know I'm not the only one). This washboard might just be enough to get me to pull the trigger on the big bad 5-gal bucket setup, though honestly I wish there was a smaller option to take up less space and use less shampoo. edit - is that a 3.5 gallon partially shown on the right hand page? Hmmm.. Edited January 13, 2016 by butters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 ^The 3.5 gallon bucket is great for rinseless washing if you want something compact and are doing a GDWM but I like the 5 gallon bucket for traditional washing because by the time you fill it up with 3-3.5 gallons or so, 1 gallon is below the grit guard and the suds foam up pretty high in the bucket Feets31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Dan@Adams Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 We actually discussed the option of bringing back 3.5 gallon buckets on Monday, since they have been requested by Corvette owners and people that have other vehicles with short trunk areas that will not fit a 5 gallon bucket for transportation. I will let you know if/when a decision is made about the Washboard and 3.5 gallon buckets! Captain Slow and Thorsager 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 VMRamos Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Im also interested in the 3.5 gallon if they return! My BRZ trunk is not very big. And I have to put my two - 5 gallon buckets in the backseat instead of the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 csikx Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Grit Guard has released the washboard, so it's only a matter of time until Adam's has it. Also, I saw the Adam's snapchat, which showed they have a nice fireman hose! Edited April 20, 2016 by csikx stripesace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
