Decrease the Scratching!
Angled Scrub Guard. Internal Wash Board. Built to dramatically reduce wash-induced swirls and scratches.
Unlike traditional grit guards which sit flat at the bottom of your bucket, our angled Scrub Guard lets you scrub your mitt or wash pad directly against it — removing loose grit and grime and ensuring it's as clean as possible before it ever touches your vehicle again.
90% of wash-related scratches and swirls happen during the contact wash process, when dirt gets trapped between the surface and your mitt, causing marring and paint damage.
Our Scrub Guard creates an internal washboard inside your bucket, letting you clean the mitt or pad between sections before returning it to the vehicle — dramatically reducing swirls and scratches.

How It Works
Function 1 — Filters Grit at the Source Tapered hexagonal tunnels filter out grit, stones, and dirt, letting them fall to the bottom of the bucket — separated from the wash solution and prevented from returning.
Function 2 — Cleans the Mitt Mid-Wash The ergonomic curved surface works as a "wash board," removing debris and contaminants picked up by the wash mitt or pad — preventing them from being transferred back onto the car.
Function 3 — Doubles as an External Wash Board Remove the Scrub Guard from the bucket to rinse and dry your wash mitt or pad, ready for your next wash, without ever touching the floor.
"90% of wash-related scratches and swirls happen during the contact wash process — with dirt trapped between the surface and your mitt. The Scrub Guard exists to break that cycle."
— Carbon CollectiveDirections
1
Ensure the bucket is the right size — the guard requires a smooth-sided, tapered bucket to fit snugly.
2
Push the grit guard down into the bucket until it fits tight.
3
Fill with water along with your favorite shampoo.
4
The guard can be fitted in your rinse or wash bucket — it will even fit in our 13L dedicated wheel bucket.
5
During the wash process, agitate the mitt against the internal surface, cleaning it before returning it to the vehicle.
Product Info
Designed to fit in both our 20L and 13L buckets — including the GHÖST Crystal Clear Wash Bucket. The tapered design creates a seal around the guard, preventing grit from returning into the wash solution, while the ergonomic curved surface makes mitt agitation easy.
We recommend this guard when using "rinseless" washing techniques.
