Meguiar's Yellow Car Wash Bucket - 3.5 Gallon with Grit Guard for Detailing & Auto Cleaning | Perfect for Car Washing, Detailing & Vehicle Maintenance

I am very pleased with this Grit Guard, it does what it is supposed to do very well. It is well made and fits my five gallon bucket perfectly. It rests directly on the bottom of my bucket with zero side play. My bucket is from Fleet Farm (Mid-West) and is made by Encore Plastics Corp. I paid under $3.00 for the bucket. The Grit Guard that I received measured 10 3/8". Since there is a lot of discussion about the diameter of this item on here I used over eight different measuring tapes and other devices from my well equipped shop. Two or three results showed a strong 10 3/8... perhaps 10 7/16". In any event, this is a very sturdy item that is well designed. The two finger holes in the center easily facilitate the romoval of the guard. If you are one who is concerned about protecting the finish on your vehicles this is a great addition to your wash regimin. This is a good value compared to other set-ups. I purchased both items for under $10.00. I highly recommend this item.
