    What are you guys using to lug/push around your 2 buckets? Lifting and putting down two heavy buckets full of water as I work my way around a car is a pain. The grit guard one is great, but $35? There's gotta be a cheap solution to this.

    Thanks, but read my post. Don't you think $120 for 2 plastic buckets and some wheels is a bit absurd?

    I dont have one, and 120.00 is not when you are constantly running around with two buckets. Ive got a less expensive solution. Go to any hardware store buy some 2x4 and casters and make one.

    when I pay for a tool, I want quality. I can sit on these dollies with the bucket n the knee pads it came with during polish sections. also its looks cool and professional. thats what I paid for, quality, looks, n muti tasking.

    to break it down

    • knee pads X 2 = $20
    • Grit guards x 2 $20
    • Buckets with lips x 2= $70
    • dollies x 2 $70
    • connector plate $10

    so when you add those up, the complete kit is a steal to me.

    domino Welcome to Detailing

    if i could buy them here in Aus id definitely grab the grit guards

    120 is a big ask, but it's one of those buy once and keep forever type products

    You will have the ability to use them on an incline since they have locking wheels and its a hell of alot less than the grit guard ones. As long as your using grit guards in your buckets your supporting the company. You dont need to fork over extra money on bucket caddies as they are not some new innovation.

    ordered a double dolly from proper autocare dec 24 and still not here. they cashed the check though. $54 was reasonable.

    I agree. You can buy two 5 liter buckets and two grit guards for around 40 bucks.

    Its a good idea, but way overpriced.

    I have

    4 buckets with Gamma Seal Lid & 2 wheel buckets..no lid

    I use two for pad n towel cleaning. the other two for washing.

    8 Grit guards

    I use 2 grit guards each buckets, so I don't have to reach all the way to the bottom and break my back, plus it further traps the dirt.

    2 dollies

    These dollies can lock in place, can be separated and allow easier maneuver.


    if I was you, I would wait for phil DD to have discount and free shipping, thats when I got my chance to get one

    I like my 3 bucket set up.

    I happened to get these from AG but you can do the same with those from DD and elsewhere.

    The center bucket is for brushes, rest chemicals on the lip.

    I just leave the bucket in front of my car and walk back to them, I would love the dollies but since my driveway is an steep incline they would just end up in the street. Honestly walking back to the buckets is not that bad

    The dollies have brakes on them lol. But ya I used to do the same thing until I got the dollies.
