lol @ gritguards. i do it the most wasteful way by never reusing my wash media for each panel. i use chemical guys yellow MF towels to wash the car.. so at least 10 on a good day to wash the entire car.
and i use optimum no rinse. i'll only pre-rinse if it's filthy..

I really want to buy a bucket dolly but refuse to pay $60-70 for one.

I only bought one as I already have a bucket at home. And first time trying Chemical Guys...so I didn't want too many bottles of it yet. Quote:

Plus a grit guard from crappy tire for $6 Maximum Grit Guard Bucket Insert, 5-G | Canadian Tire
But the grit that comes from the Chemical Guy kit is a slightly nicer version that retails for $15 usd alone.

Bought a bucket at HD in langley
For some reason all their buckets didnt come with the VRP bottle. Can anyone confirm if other hds had vrp bottle or did langley have bad stock?

Most of the local kits I found have a wool wash mitt (not listed on the redflagdeal) and no vrp.

git guards aren't that important.
As long as you have a bucket deep enough (like the home depot ones) and have it filled at least half full, you're good to go. All the grit from the mitt will rinse off the mitt and fall to the bottom of the bucket. Just make sure not you scoop dirty water from the bottom of the bucket and you'll be fine  | |

Went to the Henning store first, but ended up buying mine at the Terminal Location there were three left and I got 2 (not sure if there were more in the back) and they were put without any sign near the cashiers. Mine came with the VRP, tire shine and citrus wash, unfortunately no mitt.
As of 2pm the system showed:
Langley 7041 - 47
Vancouver 7042 - 51
South Surrey 7044 - 32
Coquitlam 7045 - 27
North Surrey - 7046 - 13
Surrey 7122 - 25
Port Coquitlam 7145 - 5
Cambie 7259 - 16
Park Royal 7035 - 31

Went to Burnaby at around 8pm last night. They had just taken one back as a return but only had two bottles so I passed on that. They were supposed to have two in total, so 1 was missing.
Went to Terminal after, and they showed a lot but the lady took a really long time trying to track them down (the display/spot was empty of buckets, but abundant in chemicals). Finally found 1, and in it had 3 bottles, the pink stuff, the citrus cleaner, and some white/blue bottle (shine I think) but no vrp

Just walked through Dollarama and they have buckets for $2, and Mequirs wash Mitts for about $3. That store certainly has some good deals for certain things.
