2018RegCab5.3 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Anyone else running in to a problem with grit gaurds not fitting well in the bucket? Mine slide around making it impossible to clean off my wash Mitt between panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bscott94 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I don't have the new buckets but I have a USA 3.5gal and Sticker Bomb 5 gal and whenever I try to scrub my mitt or sponge, the grit guard just spins around. I have to make sure that I am rubbing directly across the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Wrap some zip-ties around the edge of the grit guard. This will increase it's diameter and help it achieve a tighter fit. I've had to do this on a couple of mine. They aren't made with NASA tolerances.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you mention NASA, I'm a QC auditor for a DOD aircraft company 😂😂😂 probably why I'm so anal. It's the first time I've ran across a grit gaurd that didnt fit the bucket tightly.

red94chev Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Yeah, grit guards fit nice and tight in my 6 year old buckets. My newer bucket has a loose fit with the grit guard which is slightly annoying. And I'm a machinist for a non DOD aircraft company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2hill Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 The worst fitting bucket for the Grit Guards? The Grit Guard buckets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red94chev Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) I run a waterjet, vertical mill, lathe, 3D printer, press brake, do metal coatings and powdercoating. If it cuts metal or has to do with metal, I can probably run it lol. Edited December 3, 2018 by red94chev Nickfire20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zw470 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Advance Auto Parts buckets are too small, Home Depot buckets are too big, but Adam's buckets are juuuuuuuuuust right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Got my new grit guards today and they fit perfect. I'm happy with the product, not happy that the washguard piece doesn't snap onto these like the red ones did. Something that should have been thought of.

Adams or Grit Guard didn't design/manufacture these. I'm thinking about trying one out in my soap bucket and saving the grit guard and wash board for the rinse bucket.
