Bucket

This is probably a really dumb question but I am planning to use the 2 bucket method with a grit guard in each bucket. Will any 5 gallon bucket do the job or should I look for one from a specific store? Not sure if any of the cheap buckets would have chemicals from the plastic or anything.

I know the Home Depot has buckets in the painting area and I just read a thread that commented Target has some buckets that have a GG (or something similar) already in them. I am sure the local car parts stores have buckets as well, as does Walmart.

Just being paranoid about doing something to ruin my new car but I thought that I would ask anyway.

I've used buckets that started with anything from laundry detergent to soy sauce in them. The trick is to rinse the bucket out a couple of times to rinse out any former product residue. As long as you stay away from buckets that once contained concrete or lime you'll be fine.

Thanks for the confirmation. My box of PB products just arrived and now I am waiting on my stuff from PAC, once that arrives I will be giving my new car the first detail.

where did you ever get a bucket of Soy Sauce:confused: :rofl :lmfao

and yeah everything else he said:lol
 
I use two of the HD buckets.

I have LOTS of buckets around the house since I have a 180 gallon reef tank :)

I have to haul LOTS of water, but my car wash buckets are dedicated to that now.
 
My mom came home with a 5-gallon bucket of soy sauce from a wholesale club or a restaurant supply store. Either that or a caterer gave it to her, she runs a meeting room at OSU and she gets a lot of stuff from caterers. All I know is that it's a good bucket.
 
All I know is don't go to Shucks/Checker/Kragen for a bucket. They only carry one blue pos.
