Grit Guard

Protecting your vehicle isn’t just a post-wash concern—it’s essential during the wash too. Using a Grit Guard Insert and Grit Guard Washboard can help prevent scratches, swirls, and other imperfections that often occur during cleaning, ensuring your vehicle stays pristine throughout the wash process.

Grit Guard was formed in 2001 to help more people look forward to washing their cars. Founder Doug Lamb created the patent-pending Grit Guard Insert in response to his own experiences ruining car paint during routine cleanings. By placing this radial grid at the bottom of the bucket and dragging your sponge or mitt across it, you can easily remove dirt and debris so it doesn’t get ground into the paint as you clean. The special design also keeps those contaminants at the bottom of the bucket and out of your wash water.
