The most technologically advanced cleaning system for your car

What makes the FIX8 bucket different from a standard wash bucket?

The FIX8 bucket is engineered as a complete wash system, not a generic container. Its internal geometry is designed to lock the grit guard in place, control water movement, and actively manage contamination — reducing the risk of swirl marks during contact washing.

Does the grit guard move or float during use?

No. Unlike generic grit guards, the FIX8 grit guard is precision-fit to the bucket’s internal geometry. It cannot float or rotate, even when the water column moves during washing.

What are the Iron Guards and how do they work?

The Iron Guards are an array of eight neodymium magnets positioned beneath the bucket. They attract and trap fine iron particles such as brake dust, pulling them out of suspension and away from your wash media.

Is the bucket heavy or awkward to use?

Despite its heavy-duty construction, the FIX8 bucket is designed to be comfortable and practical for regular use, whether in a professional or home environment.

Do I need to change how I wash my car?

No. FIX8 is designed to work with standard wash methods, including the two-bucket method. It improves results without adding complexity.

What are the green and red markers on the rim for?

They provide instant visual guidance for two-bucket washing: Green = wash bucket (safe to return to the car) Red = rinse bucket only This helps prevent cross-contamination during the wash.

Can I use FIX8 with any wash mitt or pad?

Yes. FIX8 works with all common wash mitts, pads, and sponges.

Is FIX8 suitable for all vehicles?

Yes. FIX8 is suitable for cars, vans, motorcycles, and any vehicle where safe contact washing is important.

Is this overkill for home use?

FIX8 was designed for daily professional use. For domestic washing, it’s deliberately over-engineered — which is exactly what makes it safer and more consistent.

Will FIX8 completely eliminate swirl marks?

No wash system can guarantee zero swirls, but FIX8 significantly reduces the main causes by controlling debris and contamination during the wash process.

Is FIX8 safe for modern clear coats and plastics?

Yes. FIX8 is designed to reduce abrasive contact, making it particularly well suited to modern clear coats, gloss plastics, and delicate finishes.
