Does anyone have a good source for washing and detailing products?
I cannot seem to find a proper wash bucket anywhere!

I get most of my items through Amazon. I have to drive down to the states to pick it up but is it worth it.
In regards to buckets, I get them at my work, Midland Liquidators, we sell 5 gallon buckets for 3 bucks. It is nice since we have a light blue buckets for rinsing and white bucket for soap.
Don't forget your grit guards!

eshine.ca has the deepest selection but you may also want to check out ken's shop. If you're not too picky then the newer Canadian Tires have pretty decent selection - not the best stuff but you can get solid, reliable stuff from them.

Any 5 gallon bucket would be fine, IP 5-Gallon Bucket | Canadian Tire
Then pick up some grit guards, Grit Guards | |

Go to a Lube shop and ask if you can have an old differential gear oil bucket. they're the right size and they just pay someone to take them away to an eco recycler, so they should give it to you for free. it will be greasy so you'll have to was it, but you're probably already buying a grease cutting automotive detergent.

Home depot sells empty 4-5 gallon pales that fit the grit guard perfectly. If I recall correctly they're only a few bucks each.

i second the home depot buckets.
and autowerkes (911fanatic) is the source for all your wash needs.

Visit Autowerkes for your supplies, he'll definitely hook you up with the right products.
He even threw in a 5 gallon bucket for me since he gets his products in bulk, goes great with my home depot bucket, wash and rinse.
