Magic Bucket Wash Bucket 3.5 US Gallons approx. 13 Liters red

Is the story of the wash bucket in car care a story full of misunderstandings?! Well, we won't go that far. However, we need to clarify some misconceptions. The wash bucket for hand washing vehicles is associated with the US manufacturer Grit Guard Inc., but it is not the bucket itself that is the invention of Grit Guard, but rather the company's patented dirt sieves, which prevent the stirring up of dirt particles and thus enable a scratch-free hand wash. Grit Guard® bucket inserts were developed for standard US wash buckets and fit perfectly into the new buckets from Magic Bucket.

Why does Chemical-Shark.de offer the Magic Buckets 3.5 Gallons?

Due to the Corona crisis, logistical issues have arisen in sourcing large volumes of imported goods. With Magic Bucket, we are relying on a new European manufacturer that addresses this issue and produces high-quality wash buckets with a wide color palette for us. The accessories we offer from Grit Guard and Detail Guardz fit perfectly with these buckets. 3.5 and 5-gallon buckets are available in many interesting colors directly from stock.

3.5 or 5 Gallons: Which size of wash bucket is recommended for hand washing?

When deciding on the right size of the wash bucket, many factors must be considered. The size of the vehicle, the type of washing method, the frequency of the car wash, and lastly, the space in the car or trunk must be taken into account. Therefore, we cannot give a fixed recommendation or rule for this question. If you wash your car at a wash box, you should choose a size that fits in the trunk. We recommend preparing the shampoo water at home or in your own garage and sealing the wash bucket with a lid for the journey to the wash box.

Own washing utensils prohibited at the wash box? - How the wash park operator becomes your "Best Buddy"!

Our tip for wash enthusiasts at the wash box: If the local wash park operator prohibits hand washing with personal utensils with large signs, it usually means that the wash boxes are being occupied too long. Asking the operator if it's okay to wash with personal equipment early in the morning or late at night when there are few customers is generally positively received. The car can be cleaned at leisure with your own - ideally pH-neutral or biodegradable washing chemistry - and you will often meet like-minded car care enthusiasts with the proverbial "nail in their head."
