Grit Guard
LC338£5.99
Description
Car-Chem Grit Guard is the perfect way to keep your paintwork marr free.
Washing your vehicle can be a gamble between achieving glass like finish, and dulling the paintwork by adding swirl marks and scratches. Our Grit Guard removes the risk.
If your wash mitt touches the bottom of your bucket, it can pick up all the dirt you’ve just washed off. The sharp grit clings to your wash mitt and is then transferred back to your paintwork. You are more likely to damage your paintwork than clean it.
A Grit Guard acts as a physical barrier between the heavy dirt and your washing tool. The guard lets the grit sink to the bottom of your bucket, with no risk of it scratching your paintwork.
For the best results use a 2 bucket method; 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.
