    REFLECTIONS CARRY-ALL BUCKET

    After using a traditional 5 gallon bucket for years of car washing and other household chores I came up with a simple but extremely effective idea. I actually had a dream about this bucket about a month before last year’s Detail Fest in Florida. I was dying to tell someone my idea to get there honest opinion. I was lucky enough to meet Aaron and Jon from Edge products. I discussed my idea w/ Aaron and he was immediately impressed. We talked a few times and I was made a trip to visit the EDGE factory and talk w/ his patent attorney. We did all the necessary patent searches and I’m proud to say our design is patent pending. I know anyone who uses the REFLECTIONS CARRY-ALL BUCKET will be impressed and pleased with purchase. This bucket is not only good for professional detailers, but also for the weekend do-it-yourselfers.

    The bucket is designed to hold up to six spray bottles on the edge of bucket without the hassle of them moving around and making it difficult to use.

    When you’re finished using it, you can turn the bottles around and store it nice and neatly in the garage or closet. It helps keep everything together for quick access.

    The following video shows how well the bottles stay in place to prevent the hassle of having the move all around or fall off the edge of the bucket. You'll also notice that the handle remains on top of triggers to make access to it a bit easier to grab.

    Look for them to be on sale first of the year!

    Not trying to be mean, but whats going to keep people from buying a bucket and cutting it themselves? Its not like this takes a lot of R&D or anything.

    That would be illegal: patent infringements!

    OK, so you think people will actually buy this instead of doing it themselves? Come on now.

    Chopsticks didn't take alot of R&D either, but I guess you could use two sticks now couldn't ya...

    I am just wondering if the bucket will actually stay together since Edge has a problem with their adapter, schmitt, and pads staying in one piece.

    I kinda like my 2-piece schmitt.. waffle side works great without the rough yellow scrubber, I use the yellow scrubber seperate and it works great on dirty leather seats.

    Yes it will stay together, and yes you could go buy a bucket at lowes for 6 bucks and take the time to cut them out hoping you do it correctly. Then if you mess up go buy another bucket for 6 more bucks and try again. The bucket is going to be priced similar to buckets everywhere, so I don't see the point. It will be labeled and cut out correctly everytime. I figured most detailers would take advantage of this and at the same time think it was cool to help a young detailer out. I guess I was wrong?

    I don't get it, your having to defend yourself already. Somethings wrong with someone is trying to make it easier for all detailers (large difference or small difference), and a few posts later (NEGATIVITY SETS IN)

    Oh and I guess it's ok to bash Edge too ???

    How much will the bucket be sold for? I am assuming somewhere around $5?

    Seems like a smart idea.

    I think if the price was not too high and if someone was looking for a bucket like this it would work out!

    Its not worth the time to do it yourself if the price was marginally higher than a regular bucket.

    Absolutely. That's why I am wondering how much the bucket would be. My see-through 5 gallon bucket with foam handle from Lowe's is around $5.

    Shady - what will the price be?

    It depends on the person. I prefer to do things myself no matter how long it takes. Considering it would only take 5 minutes to do, Id think the majority of people would just do it themselves. I never said this is a stupid idea, or its not going to work. I simply said I dont think its going to sell well because people will just do it themselves. Thats just my opinion, no need to get upset about it.

    Just stating the facts about EDGE, seems like whenever they bring a product out there is problems, plus if someone is new to detailing they should know if a company has problems with their product they should be aware of it.
