As I said earlier, placing your hand into the soap bucket flat, and not sloshing it around will leave whatever debris that had found it's way to the bottom of the bucket where it is.

I think it's like so many other detailing products and their resemblance to the Emperors new clothes. 
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

If you were designing a plastic grid system to stand off the bottom of a bucket the simplest and cheapest design would be four virtical solid arms/legs.
If you were also selling the shampoo along with the grit guards and buckets you would design a big deep bucket and a guard that stood well clear of the bottom, then market the products as essential items.
Just an observation from a different prospective.


Not a new concept

Thanks Booth
That washboard is a well designed piece of kit.
Seems they are available here but at the price being asked, maybe another day, or as a gift.
