I was at Wal-Maart this morniing, and while NXT is yet to show anywhere in Dallas that I am aware of, Blak Magic sure has rolld out a whole line of detailing "tools".



The latest one to catch my eye (and wallet) is their new grit-trap bucket.

It is a 4 gallon bucket that vaguely resembles an upside down fireman's hat.

Wide bucket lips on the left and right side, but the coolest part is the grate that completely covers the bottm of the bucket suspending your cleaning tools about 1-2 inchs from the bottom of the bucket.



Sounds like a perfect bucket for QEW.



At around $9, I couldn't pass it up!!



Sorry, no pics. Digital camera stolen just after Christmas (which I can deal with, but did they have to slash my convertible top to get in? couldn't they have just smashed a window?)

Do you happen to have a pic of it??? I was at Walmart and saw their new line of Black Magic products.



I picked up their 3 pack of new wax apps and notice a little detailing carrying bucket. Didn't see a wash bucket. Will have to look for it next time.
 
After getting burned when I purchased Black Magic's Tire Wet, I swore never to buy anything by Black Magic or Westley again. That product was simply garbage ... the worst car care product I've ever purchased.



I'm sure Black Magic's lastest offering is worth the $9, but I refuse to support them.
 
Here you go guys, I think it was $9 and change, very nice IMO.

Very Nice! I definately see the resemblance to the fireman's hat. I'll probably pick one up for good QEW'ing.
 
Thanks for the pics...



Wow...not bad... something to think about next time I'm at Wal Mart.



It holds 4 gals so that good. I usually use the two bucket method with 2 5 gallon buckets.

If I could find the smiley that laughs and rolls around, it would work here.



Did you notice how small it was? For those who haven't seen it: make two fists 1.5 inches apart, picture a handle in-between them and make it out of red plastic.

Four gallons to be exact, but I was referring to the little "detailing bucket" that Black Magic had on the bottom shelf of the Wal*Mart aisle. Sorry--too many buckets in one thread!

I've found that the one in Industry at Asuza and the 60 has a lot of stuff. I haven't seen the bucket yet, but they have a lot of the Black Magic stuff. I noticed a new Wal-Mart around West Covina the other day driving down the 10. I wonder if that one's open yet.
 
HA HA HA i saw the so called detailing bucket (not the wash bucket though sadly) today and i laughed out loud. I could not fit two bottles of wax in there...
 
I bought the bucket about 2 weeks ago and on mine the black grit at the bottom does not stay down when full of water, do I need to return it? I actually bought some fishing weights. I also find the handles fall back around the bucket every time i set it down.

I have not noticed this, but I have only used it once. Does it float up really high, or just a little?



It seems that if nothing else, at least when you put the mitt in you could push it down as you scrub.



My handles do the same thing, but every bucket I have ever used does that so I guess I am used to it.
 
Hmm, I don't know if it's quite large enough, but I like the two ledges on the side. I presume it's so you can put your mitt down without hanging it on the edge (where it might fall in or fall off).
