Two-Bucket Wash Station

The two-bucket method is the simple way to wash a motorcycle without grinding dirt back into the paint. One bucket holds soapy water, the other is clean rinse water. Dunk the mitt in the rinse bucket after each panel and the grit stays there instead of going back on the tank.

This kit is the hardware for it, all from Shurhold.

• 3.5-gallon rope handle bucket. 10.75″ high x 12″ wide.
• 5-gallon rope handle bucket. 14.75″ high x 12″ wide. The rope handles don’t pierce the bucket wall, so no leaks and no rusty metal handle.
• Bucket Seat/Lid. Contoured, soft lid you can sit on while you work on wheels and lower parts. It also keeps weather out of the bucket.
• Bucket Base. Non-skid, non-marking ring that stops a bucket from sliding or tipping over. Fits most 5-gallon pails.
• Bucket Caddy. Holds brushes, mitts and bottles, with drain holes so they stay dry.

No soap, mitt or towel in this one. Add them separately, or start with our Bike Wash Kit for the soap, mitt, drying towel and spray wax.

Once it’s clean, keep it that way longer under a Speedway Shelter.

Common Questions

What is the two bucket wash method?
One bucket holds soapy water, the other holds clean rinse water. Rinse the mitt in the second bucket after each panel so grit stays there and doesn’t go back on the paint.

What size buckets do I need for a two bucket wash?
This kit uses one of each: a 3.5-gallon and a 5-gallon Shurhold bucket with rope handles. The handles don’t pierce the bucket wall, so there’s nothing to leak or rust.

Does the Two-Bucket Wash Station come with soap?
No. It’s the hardware: two buckets, a seat lid, a non-slip base and a caddy. Add soap, a mitt and a towel, or grab our Bike Wash Kit.
