## Description

Cyclone Dirt Trap Car Wash Bucket Insert (DIRTTRAP01) is the essential upgrade for achieving a professional-level, scratch-free wash at home. Placed at the bottom of your wash bucket, this innovative insert traps dirt, grit, and debris beneath its surface, keeping your wash mitt cleaner and your vehicle’s paint safer with every pass. By isolating abrasive particles away from your tools, it helps protect against swirl marks and scratches that can dull or damage your finish.At the heart of the Dirt Trap are hundreds of precision-engineered Cyclone Scrubbing Cones. As you rinse your mitt or brush in the wash buckets for car detailing, these cones actively scrub and funnel dirt particles down through the grid, preventing them from floating back into the water. This smart design dramatically reduces the chances of reintroducing harmful debris onto your paintwork, ensuring a smoother, safer wash process from start to finish.Made to fit most 12-inch diameter cleaning buckets ranging from 3.5 to 5 gallons, the Dirt Trap is compatible with the Chemical Guys Heavy Duty Detailing Bucket as well as standard wash buckets for cleaning used by car enthusiasts and professionals. Whether you are cleaning cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, or RVs, it ensures cleaner water and a more efficient wash cycle, giving you confidence that every rinse step is working to preserve your paint’s shine and clarity.Built from durable, heavy-duty plastic, the Dirt Trap is designed for repeated use and long-term reliability. It resists bending and breaking under pressure, making it a trusted tool for detailers who demand performance and consistency. From weekend washes in the driveway to daily use in professional detailing shops, the Dirt Trap remains a must-have accessory that enhances your car wash system and helps maintain flawless results every time. This dirt trap is great for vehicle owners and auto hobbyists as an auto detailing accessory that helps with auto maintenance.

Review: Ich bin mit dem Ergebnis super zufrieden! Der komplette Schmutz bleibt auf dem Boden des Eimers und verwirbelt sich nicht im frischen Wasser! Das Material ist ebenso super und scheint super Stabil. Ich kaufe hievon definitiv noch ein weiteres!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What all size buckets will this fit?**
A: Received this Chemical Guy’s dirt trap on July 09, 2023.  I read numerous answers and reviews.  Chemical Guys state diameter as 10 5/16 inches.  My Measurement is 26.3 cm +/- 0.05 cm.  This Chemical Guy’s dirt trap fits correctly in a 5 gal, Home Depot orange “Homer” bucket. Cost $4.49 plus tax.  Also fits the HDX branded 5 gallon transparent mixing bucket also sold by Home Depot costing $5.99 plus tax which has measurements on the side.  These buckets are the same size.  I used a 6 inch long, size 18 tarred braided nylon twine made by Catahoula Manufacturing Inc. inserted through existing drain holes by the periphery edge closest to the bucket for ease of removal.  This Chemical Guy’s dirt trap is well made without defects.  Seems sturdy and well designed.  Hope this information helps.

**Q: What is the actual measurement? it seems that this is made for chemical guys $15 bucket only. some buckets are narrower at the bottom too.**
A: Doesn’t fit in the following buckets: Home Depot, harbor freight (almost, but won’t go all the way to the bottom), Napa, Oreilly’s, autozone, advance auto, Walmart. Still gotta try academy and the firehouse pickle bucket and will report back. So far it only fits a bucee’s bucket I bought 4-5 years ago perfectly.

**Q: I have a 10" 5 gallon bucket but i understand a dirt grit from home depot won"t fit property in my bucket! why is that? 10" is 10" no matter what.**
A: The Dirt Trap fits snugly in any standard 12’’ diameter bucket; product measures 10 5/16 inches in diameter.

**Q: Does it work better than a traditional grit guard?**
A: The dirttrap has these cyclones in the bottom that help "pull" the dirt and debris below the dirttap itself. Because of its shape, dirt cannot force its way up through the cyclone and back into the regular water. A normal grit guard, however is shaped like a sewer grate, where everything is sort of free-flowing and stuff can land on your mitt even though you wiped it on the grit guard.
