Washing Bucket

[southern_tango]

Today first day on holidays so before washing my car had the idea to make my washing bucket more efficient so ... that's what I came with...

I used:

Plastic milk crate...........1

Plastic Bucket.................1

Texter................................1

Jigsaw .............................1

Cut out the bottom of the Milk crate just around the square edge with the jigsaw,then using the texter mark a circle using the bottom of the plastic bucket as a guide.

Cut the plastic of the milk crate a couple of mm. inside the guide line and clean up any plastic bur made by the jigsaw (you don't want pieces of plastic floating in the water).

Insert the plastic circle into the bucket and you are done ...you have a bucket where to rinse a mit and all the dirt will sit on the bottom...

Simple but works...

That's a great idea Freddy!

...especially when you put one in the S-bend of your mother-in-law's throne!

Srsly > pretty cool!

A Very Good Idea Buddy.

a little time to save heap of time polishing.

Pat yourself on the back.

may be simple but improved upon .

Need 2 buckets,you cut a section out of 1 that will slip inside the other, depth is up to you.

you then throw/cover this with fly screen and insert into other bucket, screen side first.

It simply jams itself in place.

only reason is less surface area for grit to sit on so it falls threw, in theory.

This is a modified version of a filter I made for sand blasting, bigger foreign pieces block pick up.

I've even filtered bulk Rd marking paint with this, removed dry skin off top.

next time you replace a fly screen keep a piece, or cheap at Bunnings by the mtr.

It reminded me of the filter I already have and can modify.

don't let anyone laugh at the lengths you go to, to look after your drive.

Good one Tango.

Just made new bucket setup with flyscreen false bottom.

Had 20 Lt, and 15 Lt, cut the 15 Lt fitted this into larger one, looks good, false bottom about +100mm. given it a go shortly, my GTR need a wash.

Especially as it's not long been polished so I certainly don't want to scratch it.

Tango your the man.
