Had an hour to kill this evening waiting for the Mrs in the salon so I popped in the nearby Halfords for a browse. Got myself 3 large (19 litre) Meguiars Buckets in a cheery shade of yellow as they were on offer at £7.20 each, reduced from £10. I've already got grit guards in my old 'builders buckets' so will swap them over and ready to go ! :thumbsup:

£7.20 for a bucket! :eek:

I'll never get the hang of this detailing lark (or believe in Black Friday)!

Phew, I thought it was just me!

No need for detailing world - I'd rather drive my Z4 than clean it!
 
Never mind detailing - what the hell is clean? :lol:

Black Friday? Isn't this the day the few have their purchase price reduced by the contributions of the many who have paid a little extra all year to fund it? Can someone explain how you can overturn the laws of 'you don't get owt for nowt' and 'there's no such thing as a free lunch' for a day. Particularly when shops buy in stock to sell. Who makes money out of this because no one will be doing this for fun.
 
I suppose the bucket is big enough to put over your head so when you're leaving Halfords no one would know who'd just paid over seven quid for a bucket :)
 
Ha...I bought these a while back and genuinely feel it's one of the best buys I've made for detailing. Good quality buckets, good handles, colour coded and grit guards. Each to their own eh.... :oops:

I get the idea of "posh" buckets if they have grit guards.

Otherwise they're just buckets. Not once in my 40+ years of car ownership and washing have I thought: "This would be a lot better if I had a designer bucket"!
 
You need 3, one for wash, one for rinse and another for wheels. then 3 grit guards. detailing is more expensive than z4 ownership :D
 
B&Q do plasterer's buckets which are tall and wide enough for decent grit guards. They're £6 each in black and white. But they don't say Meguiars so may not work as well......

:rofl: So much hype in the detailing world ask any pro detailer

Thought about these larger buckets myself a lot cheaper from a builders merchants but there is a problem are they gonna fit under the tap in your kitchen sink for some warm water I suppose you fill them in the bath but I will stick to the buckets I have they do the job well enough

To the OP this shows you care about your Z just beware of the Detailing world I used to buy all sorts but then backed off and saved a lot of money
