Just thought I'd let people know. I thought it was a good price and there a great little addition to any Detailing collection. Try also stick the grit guard to go with it.
Got one of these buckets today as a third bucket for doing wheels to save me emptying and refilling, they do seem quite sturdy. The grit guards that can be bought to accompany them seem good, I didn't buy one but could see that the tabs are fixed and won't continually fall off like they do on my other current grit guards.
Online these are currently showing as being £7.65 when bought with a Trade card (£7.20 without), however I paid just £6.12 for one in the Northallerton store today using my Trade card. Always worth double checking the Trade pricing as sometimes their systems seem to go a bit crazy.
These came up as £7.48 with my Trade card, still a good bit dearer that the Scratch Shield ones can be bought for. The thing that I like about the Meguiars' ones is that they are a single plastic piece, the tabs are forever falling off on my Scratch Shield ones and it gets a bit frustrating - I should really get them cable tied together.
I got a couple of these a few weeks back from ECP. Use with the grit guards I already had and got a couple of lids from ebay. Quality buckets for no money and make great seats with the lids. Handy when doing the wheels. Also picked up some black WASH & RINSE stickers from eBay to make things perfect!
I like the look of them but I can't help thinking that by the time I've got 2 of them with the guards I could have got 2 of the Dodo Juice ones with guards and seat lids including delivery!
i guess nobody. i have never seen dodo 2 buckets with lids and grit guards under £40..
i have been to my local halfords 3 times and no meg buckets in stock
