Cyclone Dirt Trap Car Wash Bucket Insert, Red, 12 in Filter | Two-bucket car wash method, for cars, trucks and SUVs, 300 funnel cyclonic filter, for 5 gallon buckets

Chemical Guys DIRTTRAP02 Cyclone Dirt Trap Review I recently bought a couple of the Chemical Guys DIRTTRAP02 Cyclone Dirt Traps along with their buckets, and they’ve been a great addition to my car wash routine. The traps are designed to keep dirt and debris at the bottom of the bucket, and they do their job well. This helps prevent any grime from getting back onto my wash mitt, which is important for avoiding scratches on the paint. The design is simple but effective. It fits securely at the bottom of the bucket and does a good job of keeping the wash water cleaner for longer. After each wash, I’ve noticed how much dirt gets trapped below the insert, which gives me peace of mind knowing that I’m taking better care of my car’s finish. One thing to note is that these inserts work best with the Chemical Guys buckets or similarly sized ones—if your bucket is smaller, it might not fit properly. That wasn’t an issue for me since I picked up their buckets at the same time, but it’s worth keeping in mind. Overall, it’s a practical product for anyone who wants to step up their car washing setup without overcomplicating things.

Does a great job separating the dirt and debri when washing car. I use the 2 bucket wash with Chemical Guys hand mitt and it's crazy when I lift up screen and see all the stuff under it that before I was just letting my sponge or mitt sit in. I use home depot Homer bucket and it fits snuggly on the bottom. I wasn't about to pay $10-$15 on a named brand wash bucket and glad I took the chance on the 5 gallon $3 bucket at Home Depot cause it works just the same. When done I dump water put and usually just tap it not hard at all on bottom and screen pops right out . Was worried with little bit with how small the waffle cone shapped holes looked and how low it was gonna sit in the bucket but I was really amazed when I looked down in bucket and water looked clean and when I lifted up screen first time how much nasty sandy looking water was underneath screen. When dipping hand with mitt on I would rub my hand flat across the screen when getting more soapy water.

Good quality. Works as advertised.

It works even though it doesn’t fit my standard five gallon bucket from my local hardware store. So it doesn’t sit snuggly and flat on its feet in the bucket because it’s slightly too large. However it tends to stay at the bottom of the bucket and I can easily use it as intended even though it doesn’t fit well. 4 stars cause it work and agitates the wash media and traps dirt beneath it, but it doesn’t fit my standard 5 gallon bucket perfectly, just well enough it still be functional.

After reading the other reviews, consider the complaints of others. Filter doesn't fit normal 5 gal bucket. Try the 5 gal Home Depot transparent mixing bucket from the paint department for $6. The filter disk is not supposed to sit on the bottom unless you wish to limit the dirt to the bottom 2 inches of the bucket. It fits perfectly in the bucket I ref. I found a pro tip to use a zip tie to aid in removal. I used the 2 short center opposing holes, as it's easy to pull from there. When I used the dirt traps the first time, I was amazed that the water under the trap was noticeably black dirty in the transparent bucket. In addition, the wash water bucket grid was filthy underneath, I used a wheel brush with a tiny bit of soap to clean after use. As far as the whole size, mine were fine, not sure if some batches were different, but mine are consistent. Finally, I picked up "Fasmov 3 Pcs Plant Pallet Caddy" from Amazon to put the buckets on to roll around my washing area. They are made very sturdy, wheels are not perfect, but they are a fraction of the price for the bucket dollies.

The short of this is I purchased TWO, and consider myself very picky when it comes to my car. I ready many reviews, and opted to use them because of the Chemical Guys’ reputation. I was not let down! Read below on some of the reputed “problems” and my experience with them. -I was hesitant to buy this because of reviews saying it doesn’t fit standard Big Box Store buckets. It does exactly what it’s supposed to...seats/seals towards the bottom all the way around and leaves a gap underneath to bed the dirt and grime coming off your car. -I modified mine by tying metal wire off to one of the sides because of one review suggesting that if you get it properly installed in the bucket, it’s hard to get out. However, the bottom is supported by six posts, and if you push down on an edge between to out posts, the opposite side will pop up for removal...kind of like a see-saw. It is actually fairly easy to remove. -A few users said they had to clean out the holes before use due to a cheap plastic molding. This wasn’t the case in either one of mine...I used it as-it-came without a problem. The thickness is also substantial...this isn’t a cheap gimmick. The product is worth it.

It does fit inside a 5-gallon HDX bucket from Home Depot.

Bueno

These do exactly what they say. They trap the dirt at the bottom of the bucket enabling you to be confident that when you wash your car it wont get scratched.

Griglia utile per il lavaggio dell’auto. Consigliata

Packing us not good.

Definitely a good item to have if you are doing a 2 bucket method wash. It will trap all the dirt particles and avoid scratches when washing your vehicle.

Works as intended but you need to have the right bucket size. Sometimes floats to top of water which can be a nuisance.
