What is a Scratch Shield?
A Scratch Shield is a clever, easy-to-use device that sits at the bottom of your wash bucket. Its purpose is simple but crucial: to keep dirt and grit at the bottom of the bucket, away from your sponge or wash mitt. When you wash your car, your cleaning tools can easily pick up small particles of dirt that can cause scratches as you scrub your vehicle’s surface. The Scratch Shield creates a barrier, trapping these contaminants beneath it, ensuring your sponge or mitt stays clean and free from harmful debris.
The design of the Scratch Shield is all about efficiency. It features a grated surface that acts as a filter. Every time you dip your sponge or mitt into the bucket, you can wipe it against the shield to dislodge any grit. The dirt sinks to the bottom, safely separated from your cleaning tool. The result? A scratch-free finish and a sparkling clean car, every time.
How do I use a Scratch Shield?
Place the Scratch Shield
Begin by ensuring the shield is securely placed at the base of your wash bucket, creating a barrier between the sponge and the dirt that settles at the bottom.
Wipe Your Sponge or Mitt
After each pass over your vehicle, rub your sponge or mitt against the top of the shield. This action will help dislodge any grit or debris caught in the fibres.
Dirt-Trapping Technology
The dirt will sink through the grated surface of the Scratch Shield and remain trapped at the bottom of the bucket, well away from your sponge.
Grit-Free Wash
Each time you dip your sponge back into the bucket, it will come out free of grit and debris, preventing it from being transferred back onto your car’s surface.
