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 !

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     .
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.

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

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.

[007 or what]

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.
