Uni-Directional Filtration Technology
Dirt Trap Cyclones funnel and separate dirt away from wash water. The Dirt Trap car wash guard uses nearly 300 cyclone funnels to separate abrasive dirt and debris from car wash water. Keeping the dirt already washed away from the car reduces the chances of installing swirls and scratches caused by scrubbing with abrasive dirt. Traditional car wash strainers use large open screens and vertical fins in an attempt to hold dirt at the bottom of a wash bucket. However, the mere act of dunking the dirty wash mitt in and out of the bucket pushes and pulls any dirt and debris straight up through the screen and back into the clean water. This traps the dirt already washed off the car in the mitt, and causes abrasive scratching action on the next cleaning pass. The small funnels of the Dirt Trap create cyclonic flow down through the tiny tip of each funnel, spinning heavier dirt particles out of the water through intense centripetal force.
The textured underside and small holes of the screen act as a one-way valve: dirt is pushed through the funnels with cyclonic force, but it gets trapped underneath the guard and cannot easily flow back up into the water when the wash mitt is withdrawn. Use the Dirt Trap in each wash and rinse bucket to minimize the chances of scratching and swirling paintwork during any car wash or full detail.
- Protect your vehicle's delicate finish
- Keep your water clean as you wash
- Capture spent dirt at the bottom of your bucket
- Keep removed dirt from getting back on your car
- Reduce chances of marring paintwork when washing

Advanced Geometric Filtering System297 geometrically-positioned dirt trap cyclones deliver optimal filtration. Maximizing dirt capture and water flow in a wash bucket takes a great deal of engineering. Place too many holes, and the cones become too small to let any dirt particles through. Install too few cones, and the holes end up being big enough to allow particles to flow back up into the clean wash water. The Dirt Trap’s unique Geometric Filtering System strikes the perfect balance between cone size, dirt aperture diameter, funnel pitch, and strategic placement for maximum particle capture. The Dirt Trap is the future of car wash bucket filter technology, and will save car owners from installing billions of tiny swirls and scratches with every car wash. |
Uni-Directional Filtration: Keeps Dirt Trapped Under The Filter And Off Your CarUni-Directional Filtration keeps dirt trapped under the Dirt Trap Cyclones to reduce scratches, swirls, and paint damage caused during washing. Old world wash screens allow water and dirt to flow through vertically. Whenever a mitt is dunked into the bucket, the downward force pushes water and dirt down past the screen, but it also pushes any settled dirt back up straight into the cleaner water of the bucket. The textured underside and small holes of the Dirt Trap screen act as a one-way valve: dirt is pushed through the cyclone funnels and is trapped underneath the guard where it cannot flow back into the clean water. The Uni-Directional Filtration of the Dirt Trap keeps dirt away from cleaner wash water and off the wash mitt to drastically reduce the chances of installing swirls and scratches on any vehicle during a wash. |
Enhanced Scrubbing Action Keeps Wash Mitts CleanEvery Dirt Trap bucket insert is molded with Cyclone Scrub Ridge rings around every dirt cyclone funnel. Rub the wash mitt directly on the Dirt Trap to scrub and agitate any embedded dirt and grime from the wash fibers, then funnel and trap it directly underneath the insert. The Cyclone Scrub Ridges are designed with the perfect grip and height to work with any chenille, microfiber, or natural lambswool car wash mitt, natural car wash sea sponge, or boars hair wash brush. The ridges are gentle on natural and manmade fibers, and will not tear apart or destroy any car wash mitt, sponge, or brush. Knock dirt, dust, grease, and grime off the car wash mitt with the scrubbing ridge, then funnel it directly down underneath the bucket insert to trap it away from the cleaner water in the bucket. |
Product Description
The Cyclone Dirt Trap's unique construction features a series of cyclone funnels that create a swirling effect, guiding dirt particles away from your wash mitt or sponge. This ensures that your vehicle's delicate paintwork remains safe from swirl marks and scratches. Its superior performance guarantees a clean and safe wash every time.

Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2022
Also, a great tip I read from another review.... Put a plastic zip tie through the middle of the bucket insert. This will give you something to grab onto to pull it out of the bucket when you want to remove it. This is a great little trick.
The concept behind the Cyclone Dirt Trap is simple yet ingenious. By placing the insert at the bottom of the wash bucket, it creates a barrier that prevents dirt and debris from being agitated and reintroduced onto the wash mitt or sponge. This mechanism proved to be highly effective in trapping contaminants and preventing them from spoiling the cleaning process.
The 12" diameter of the insert fits well within most standard wash buckets, making it suitable for washing cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs, and more. I found that it provided ample coverage and prevented dirt from being stirred up while I washed my vehicle.
Installation and use were straightforward, and I appreciated the convenience it brought to my car washing routine. The insert stayed securely in place at the bottom of the bucket, and I noticed a visible reduction in the amount of dirt and debris accumulating in the wash water.
While the Cyclone Dirt Trap's performance in removing dirt and debris is commendable, I did notice that larger particles or heavier contaminants occasionally bypassed the insert and remained in the wash bucket. However, this was a minor issue and did not significantly affect the overall effectiveness of the product.
The durable construction of the insert is evident, and it has held up well after multiple uses. It rinses off easily and can be quickly cleaned between washes.
In conclusion, the Chemical Guys DIRTTRAP02 Cyclone Dirt Trap Car Wash Bucket Insert offers a practical and effective solution for preventing dirt and debris from marring the car washing process. Its innovative design and functionality have improved the cleanliness of my vehicle and simplified my car washing routine. While there is room for further refinement to capture larger particles, the Cyclone Dirt Trap's overall performance warrants a solid four-star rating. It has become a valuable tool in my car care regimen, and I recommend it to fellow car enthusiasts seeking to elevate their car washing results.
I have a dark new vehicle and hand wash my car to minimize the drive thru “ thrashing” .
Great product and I took others advice to add a zip tie to bottom so it can lift out easily.
