I like the grit gard! :) Why only one??? I would get one for the rinse bucket and one for the wash bucket in case any dirt gets into it.

So, how good is the blackfire stuff for cleaning/treating leather???

I stopped doing the two buckets recently as it's pointless if you're careful and have a good wash technique. 2 buckets is useful for n00bs and extremely dirty cars. Didn't like how the rinse bucket removed all of the soap from the mitt either . . .

Anyways the grit guard further reduces the chance that i'll be dragging dirt on the paint.

A few pics as always . . .

Nick and I also placed orders for this ridiculously nice wash mitt . . .

The blackfire stuff seems to work out pretty well. The protectant is very much like 303. The cleaner was good as it enabled me to remove a few white marks on the vinyl that the 303 protectant & water didn't remove.

I've never seen anyone use Crest Whitestrips on a car before. :P

Used it this morning and it rinsed perfectly and removed dirt easily without microabrasions.
