The Forensic Detailing Channel did a similar test, and came to a completely different conclusion. Very interesting video. I really love that somebody takes the time and effort to do things like this. Keep them coming! I have already been hooked.
Wow, thank you for making all these detailed videos. The long format is a bit much, but in the next breath, its also refreshing because you help me form my own conclusion with all the evidence you put forth. Again, thank you.
In doing my write up and post experiment analysis I have already found several things I did not mention in this video I will likely discuss in a part 2. Things such as cost and the ability of the guard to help in cleaning off your mitt. The Detail Guardz Dirt Lock has large raised fins to really dig into a mitt and clean it off, where as the others just have their natural screen which would probably be less effective. Let me know if there is anything else.
I just received this grit guard today. It's the most substantial one I have owned. I like how it doesn't move around in the bucket and is a heavier type plastic. Very nice.
To critics of this video: It’s not controlled enough to be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. But there is an adequate degree of rigor that resulted in a good, actionable information value.
No, that's incorrect. It was controlled more than enough - to arrive at a pre-determined outcome. He needs people to "buy the winner" as the video description states. Hence why the method didn't resemble the normal mitt cleaning procedure, in any way, and he was constantly pumping the water aggressively to achieve the desired outcome. It's a cynical and dishonest marketing ploy imho. Many professional companies that detail high-end supercars & hypercars, (eg; esoteric), swear by the two bucket method with single grit guards. That tells me that it's completely safe if used properly. Although in all fairness, for the average person, the one bucket, multi cloth/mitt method is more appropriate for many reasons, it can be just as risky.
Really enjoying your ideas and the videos you guys are putting out. Really appreciate your approach to things and not just making negative remarks without explaining. Can’t stand it when someone’s explanation for not liking a product is by calling it stupid or just saying it sucks.
Thanks! That's exactly what I hate too when people say they don't like it because it doesn't "feel good". These products are made with science not feelings. Everything can be measured and tested in some capacity and I want people to make informed decisions on that information.
Guess it depends on your bucket. In my 5 gallon Detail Guardz Dirt Lock also gets stuck. I flip the bucket and give it a few taps from the bottom, pops right out.
This test surely put to rest the uselessness of the two Grit Guard type inserts. Both are just straight up fails in comparison to the performance of the two other entries. Before seeing this test, I have always had my doubts as to the wash pad or mitt really coming clean with bucket inserts. By the example here, with a typical bucket (not clear), there would be no way to tell just how many times one would need to "scrub" the mitt against the insert for best results. In effect, consistency in performance i.e. reliable flushing of the mitt is unknown. I was watching Brian's Apex Detailing channel and my jaw about dropped. He uses 3 mitts (or as many as you think you will need). One for top and one for each side. Finished with a mitt, toss it to the side to be cleaned later and grab a clean one from the soap bucket. Boom, problem solved.
I'm not sure you ever need to remove a guard when the bucket has water in it so I guess the chemical guys one gets it point back for that and they are both pretty good at the job
But wait, does a car soap that emulsifies dirt should be use in the water to help group dirt together and have a better dirt weight to sent them to bottom ? maybe not. nice video.
Great test. I think the moral of the story, IMHO, is stop doing the multiple dunk method to wash your vehicle. Either get multiple mitts, or use multiple high gsm microfiber towels. Put them all in clean water, use them once, and put them in a dirty bucket. I know Larry at AMMO and both subscribe to this method with slight variations.
The moral of the story, imho, is to question everything and not naively believe the information that's presented, without question. Which in this case, imho, was clearly to arrive at a pre-determined outcome. Hence why the method didn't resemble the normal mitt cleaning procedure, in any way, and he was constantly pumping the water aggressively to achieve the desired outcome. Many big, professional companies that detail high-end supercars & hypercars, (eg; esoteric), swear by the two bucket method with single grit guards. That tells me that it's relatively safe if used properly.

In both cases, it's only as reliable as the person that's doing it.
that's excessive............not even when you take a bath you use so many towels, is just a car dude.....maybe u own a ferrari that you want to show off
@@elitechen5918 You should go buy a grit guard then. When my car remains scratch free and you can't understand why your finish is full of swirls, you'll have your answer. Until then, I could care less if you think my process is excessive.
@unisoulja6227 The point of the test is to see if grit guards prevent dirt particles from rising up from the bottom. Pumping is the worst case scenario, as it applies the most force. It also correctly simulates how these are used as you're inserting and removing your wash media and hand in and out of the bucket. This wasn't about how to "best" rinse your particular media, that's not what's being tested.
@Vanhamj1 If you're contact washing your car, it will never remain "scratch free". All contact washing will eventually leave marks, swirls, scratches, etc. You can help minimize it, but you'll never prevent it. Even with your supposed "scratch free" method...as soon as you lay your media down on the paint and move it, you're dragging some particles along, in contact with the finish. Regardless of whether the media came out of your clean bucket, and never went back in. The dirt is on the car to begin with. The important thing is to use quality media, and quality soap/shampoo, you can do 1 bucket, 2 bucket, 3, 4 , 5, whatever makes you happy. As long as the actual wash method is similar, the results will be similar.
Great video but you should really check out harbor freights new grit guard it’s the basically the cyclone but better in every way , no surface area for debris to sit on easy to remove out the bucket and just over all better build quality half the price.
Well some of it would be ok to listen to when I describe the features and the conclusion. The main part of the video is for watching the grit guards react when I put stuff in them. If you only watch a small amount, the coolest part is the dye test that's about 15 minutes from the end.
That would work almost the same as using just the cyclone because the grit guard does almost nothing. The grit guard would help prevent rubbing your Mitt on the bottom and sucking things up through the cyclone, but that is about all I can think of.
@@bio10155 sorry you said "grit guardz" initially so I thought you mean the grot guard. Putting the dirt lock on top of the cyclone I think would give minimal benefit over just using the dirt lock. It may help keep things down a little better by adding the cyclone as another layer, but the dirt lock already does a very good job at that. If you have both I wouldn't hurt to use them both, but i wouldn't buy a cyclone if you already have the dirt lock.
Stumbled upon this video, but I have to say your grit guard and bucket designs make perfect sense. Why aren't other companies doing the obvious? You're nailing it. I wish they were cheaper though. I want these as part of a complete car care gift basket for my parents. I can't afford them though. Maybe for myself down the road. I have them saved in a Keep note!
..or ...use the one of the other brands and putting it on top of the chemical guys grit guard... a lot of people criticize their grit guard because if the raised lips
“Queue roommate” should have been “cue roommate”. Only saying this because I’ve had to google the difference before and hope it helps someone else that sees it. I wanna not like the chemical guys stuff, but it seems like they actually try to improve designs rather than just put their logo on some generic items and resell for profit. Their foam cannon for Example. Thanks for this test.
For demo purposes the the sequins, beads, and rice were great but grossly inapplicable. If you were getting anything 1/10 the size of that your wash would have been a total fail. In a general sense the test was interesting to see
do you have a detail guardz dirt lock? the tabs on the bottom are very maleable and can be reshaped. Put some weight on top of them overnight and pull the tabs out a bit so they stick out. In the morning they will be solidly locked in a sticking out position to push up harder against the edges and stay in place.
You did alot of testing and things but those grit guards are pricey I can just buy 6 or 7 wash mits use one at a time and dont put back in bucket after I wash no grit guard needed
So I don’t mean to be a jerk but unfortunately I do not have time to watch an hour...15-20 minutes yes. Is there anyway to get a TLDW? Sorry if that comes off rude, I mean no disrespect and I know you put a lot of thought and research into this!
@@sarbjotsingh8269 I have several things I'm working on. Next will probably wash mitts and the one bucket method vs two and I'd like to get into spray bottle analysis. I also have a ton of wheel cleaners and tools. Check out my intro video for an overview of a lot of what I have right now I'm working on.
Really should’ve added some sort of light colour car wash soap to add a surfactant to the water. You wouldn’t have to deal with the surface tension of the water so much and would be a more accurate test. Otherwise great video. 👍
This was interesting, BUT you are not using these devices properly. You are not supposed to be pumping the mitt up and down, rather you are supposed to rub the mitt back and forth. Grit Guard suggests you agitate the mitt in the water and then directs you to "rub your mitt against Grit Guard." That would change the dynamics of water movement drastically. Your pumping motion is creating suction, rubbing the mitt would not.
Grow a brain dude...jesus. The point of this test is to see how the dirt behaves with the grit guards in place. Do they actually prevent dirt particles from rising back up from the bucket floor. Not how to best rinse your particular wash media. The pumping action simulates the worst case scenario where the most force is applied to the dirt potentially having it rise back to the top. Btw...Detail Guardz specifically sells a pump attachment that you use to pump your wash media up and down on, to better rinse it. Along with wall inserts to rub it on. Bottom line, again, is the point of all this is to prevent the dirt from rising from the pumping action of inserting and removing something in the bucket. So yes...pumping is the correct test methodology.
He pushes harder on the red grit. The push is in two phases. First the vingers, slowly consistent on all grits, then the handpalm. This test is of low quality. Even the mixing of dirt is inconsistent. Plus the test with the black grit is skipped. Just do the test man!
hey man just food for thought here. I like the detail but its way too much, your test doesn't start until almost 20 minutes into the actual video and im sorry to say most of the information could be cut. say say the things you are testing, the difference, how they will be tested and what materials you will use for the test and then begin the test.
as a side note you should take some inspiration from Project Farms as he gives you the information quick and to the point and explains as he does the tests.
First off let me say how much I love what Forensic Detailing does. He is absolutely an inspiration to me and what I am trying to do. However, I disagreed with his analysis of grit guards and thought I could do a better one. Just because we both filmed material in a bucket with a grit guard does not mean I am trying to steal hist content. I am simply talking on the same topic in my own way as many other do. I came to a different conclusion than him and presented what I feel was a much more complete analysis of the products and how they work.
Your overview of how fallout removers work is literally identical to his one bro. not saying your copying his results just his ideas and methods. hey keep going though im just saying it how I see it.
It was necessary for him to repeat John’s test. It is important for an experiment to be repeated many times until the results begin to come out consistently. Only Then will you begin to approach an approximation of the truth.
@@TMZTucson maybe he feels aggrieved that he spent an hour of his time watching what he believes to be a carbon copy of something he's already spent time watching?
What is the point of this video? Who continuously pumps their hand up and down inside a bucketful of water? The whole point of the gritguard cleaning technique is to rub the mitt against it. All you've really proven is that it seems that you had a pre-determined bias that you set out to prove. Hence your sales links to "buy the winner" in the video description. Highly cynical and dishonest
1. I didn't start selling the grit guard until nearly 6 months after this video. I had no intention of selling it even. The company who makes it reached out to me. 2. The point of a grit guard is to clean out your mitt, but they also all claim to keep contaminants in the bottom of your bucket so you don't reintroduce contaminants to your mitt that you would then drag back on the paint. The point of the video was to show turbulent water kicks up all of these contaminants through the basic grit guard and that its claims of keep contaminants down is completely inaccurate. The hand pumping was to generate maximum turbulence in an upward direction to pull contaminants. It clearly helped demonstrate which products worked and which didn't. 3. I have also since said that I do not even recommend the grit guard for washing purposes as there are too many contaminants floating around in the water no matter the guard used. I recommend the multi mitt method and only use a grit guard of any kind now with my rinseless washes to help clean out sponges.
@@SourceGarage Ok, thank you for taking the time to reply. Most You-tubers don't address criticism, that's why I've become quite suspicious and cynical. I apologise for my (wrong) assumptions about your intentions. That was wrong of me, and I accept there was no nefarious ulterior motive on your part. Accordingly, I will edit/delete my replies to other posters' comments. I do however still disagree with the purpose of your experiment. The actions you perform are obviously going to create the resulting reactions, it's basic physics. I don't believe any grit guard manufacturer would recommend anyone employ this method. If the proper method is used, then I believe there is very little risk. So you're not recreating an accurate scenario to draw you're conclusion from. Do they claim that it keeps "ALL" contaminants down? Because, unless they do, then your assertion that "its claims of keep contaminants down is completely inaccurate" is utterly wrong. That may seem pedantic, but that's how marketing works isn't it, hence the phrase "buyer beware" (caveat emptor). I think the point of grit-guards, like most other tools and techniques, is to minimise scratches, not eliminate them. Nothing is capable of doing that, not even the one bucket, multi-mitt method, because, (at the very least), the human element cannot be accounted for in any meaningful way.

@@SourceGarage Ok, thank you for taking the time to reply. Most You-tubers don't address criticism, that's why I've become quite suspicious and cynical. I apologise for my (wrong) assumptions about your intentions. That was wrong of me, and I accept there was no nefarious ulterior motive on your part. Accordingly, I will edit/delete my replies to other posters' comments.
I do however still disagree with the purpose of your experiment. The actions you perform are obviously going to create the resulting reactions, it's basic physics. I don't believe any grit guard manufacturer would recommend anyone employ this method. If the proper method is used, then I believe there is very little risk. So you're not recreating an accurate scenario to draw you're conclusion from.
Do they claim that it keeps "ALL" contaminants down? Because, unless they do, then your assertion that "its claims of keep contaminants down is completely inaccurate" is utterly wrong. That may seem pedantic, but that's how marketing works isn't it, hence the phrase "buyer beware" (caveat emptor).
I think the point of grit-guards, like most other tools and techniques, is to minimise scratches, not eliminate them. Nothing is capable of doing that, not even the one bucket, multi-mitt method, because, (at the very least), the human element cannot be accounted for in any meaningful way.
To critics of this video: It’s not controlled enough to be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. But there is an adequate degree of rigor that resulted in a good, actionable information value.
