Scratch Shield Adjustable Car Wash Bucket Filter Black
Stop Grit in Its Tracks for a Safer, Swirl Free Wash
The Scratch Shield is an essential tool for anyone serious about protecting their vehicle's paintwork during washing. Designed to sit at the bottom of your wash bucket, this innovative filter traps dirt and grit, preventing it from being recirculated back onto your wash mitt or sponge. Unlike standard fixed size filters, the Scratch Shield is fully adjustable, ensuring a snug fit in a wide variety of bucket sizes including the smaller UK builders buckets. It is the smarter, more adaptable alternative to the US Grit Guard, designed and manufactured in the UK.
Key Features and Benefits
· Adjustable to Fit Multiple Bucket Sizes The Scratch Shield can be configured to fit bucket diameters of approximately 24cm, 26cm, or 28cm. This ensures a tight, secure fit in most buckets including popular brands like Dodo Juice and Meguiar's.
· Prevents Scratches and Swirl Marks By trapping dirt, grit, and debris at the bottom of the bucket, it stops these particles from being picked up by your mitt and dragged across your paintwork.
· Keeps Your Wash Water Cleaner The raised leg design and spiral pattern work together to prevent contaminated water and sediment from circulating back above the shield, maintaining cleaner water for longer.
· Creates an Effective Scrubbing Surface You can safely agitate your wash mitt or sponge against the surface of the Scratch Shield to dislodge trapped dirt, keeping your tools clean throughout the wash.
· Environmentally Responsible Made from recycled materials, including its packaging, supporting sustainable manufacturing practices.
· Proudly British Made Designed and manufactured in the UK to high quality standards, ensuring reliable performance.

How to Use
1. Adjust the Scratch Shield legs to match the internal diameter of your wash bucket.
2. Place the Scratch Shield at the bottom of a clean bucket, ensuring it sits flat and secure.
3. Fill the bucket with water and your preferred car shampoo.
4. During washing, dip your mitt into the bucket. Any grit that falls off will sink and be trapped beneath the shield.
5. Rub your mitt against the top surface of the Scratch Shield to help release trapped dirt before reloading with clean solution.
Why Use a Scratch Shield
Standard washing techniques often lead to dirt particles being picked up by your mitt and swirled back onto the paint, causing micro scratches known as swirl marks. The Scratch Shield breaks this cycle by creating a physical barrier that separates clean water from contaminated sediment, ensuring only clean solution is used on your vehicle's surface.
An intelligent, adjustable solution for maintaining pristine paintwork with every wash.
