Detailing Bucket With Lid
LC329From: £7.99
Description
Car-Chem heavy-duty 25L detailing bucket is made from heavy-duty thermoplastic. Our 25L buckets are also chemically resistant and long lasting. The easy pull off lid makes it simple to store your cleaning products inside when you’re done.
This Detailing Bucket will allow a Grit Guard to fit inside for keeping dirt at the bottom of the bucket and clean water at the top where you need it most.
Top Tip:
Don’t forget you ideally need two buckets; one for washing and one for rinsing.
I tried Lockdown on my car for the first time this weekend and was very impressed with the results. Another great product from Car-Chem!
However, I would take issue with Car-Chem’s claims that Lockdown gives up to 12 months protection. I would not expect a product of this type to last that long and would be happy with good protection between maintenance washes. Car-Chem should update their product description for Lockdown and give a more realistic time for the duration of the protection.
I have heard mixed feelings about this product on the Car-Chem discussion groups but personally, I like it. The issue raised seems to be around its difficulty of application. I have applied it to my already polished and ceramic sealed glass and also to my neighbour’s grotty BMW as a test subject and have had no problems. My suggestion is to polish and then clean the glass to get the best possible foundation before applying it out of the sun. You want to have time to buff before it evaporates. Like most other Car-Chem products it seems to be water-based as it doesn’t give off the solvent fumes like its competitors. I’m not sure what Car-Chem suggests but I like to apply perhaps once every couple of months. As expected, once applied, the rain instantly beads and zips off.
I would like to see a smaller bottle offered. Because it needs applying so infrequently I think a 250ml spray bottle would be perfect and allow people to add it to their basket without such a hike in total basket cost. Just a thought.
