Hi guys how do you keep your bucket (with water) in your vans? i'm wfp but also do a bit of trad shops mainly but water goes everywhere, very annoying
-
Keep your applicator and any cloths you use for washing in the bucket, these act as baffles, 'O' and don't have a full bucket.
A friend of mine uses a cool box with lockable lid and if needed he also uses is as a step.

I keep buckets in footwells , not too full , and definately keep applicators etc in it to stop or reduce spillage !
-
cheers never thought of that will give it a go :)
-
Or buy a bucket with a lid!

First of all I will state the obvious by saying to make sure it's a rectangular bucket rather than a builders bucket. Ok so you do that anyway - good ;D .
Don't fill it any more than a third to half way at most and, as others have said, keep a few tools in there. The real big help though is to lay a scrim on top of it. Alternatively, you can buy them with lids on.
I keep mine in the passenger footwell. If you have a passenger, you may need to re-think that though.

When trad i didn't use a square bucket so i used to wedge mine between the runs of the ladder on the roof

I did that at first and it took paint off the roof. I had two circles on top of my van ;D

Buy a plastic storage box with a lid from B&Q.

How much water do you need in your bucket? I only put about an inch in the bottom and change it when it gets dirty.
-
An inch!!!!!! only joking mine is about 3 inch's water that is ;D

We Have 5"/6" in out bucket but we have 3 of us all together working so it's worth while!

Behind the driver's seat.
Hardly ever spill a drop.
My car's carpet is bone dry.

I keep my bucket in one of them large gorilla grab buckets in the boot, any water spills into second bucket which you can easily empty at next job, i also throw my dirty cloths in there from first cleans till i get home.
