CAP'N JAX BUCKET

Every great boat detail starts with the right setup — and the Cap'n Jax Bucket is built to be the foundation of yours. This heavy-duty marine wash bucket is sized and constructed for the demands of boat washing: large enough to hold plenty of soapy water for a full hull wash, durable enough to handle the dock environment, and designed to work seamlessly with the Grit Guard Wash Board for a scratch-safe two-bucket wash method.

At Chicago Jax Wax, we outfit every Cap'n Jax marine kit with a dedicated bucket because the right vessel makes the whole wash process more efficient and more effective. Use it dockside, on the trailer, or in the driveway — the Cap'n Jax Bucket is the workhorse that holds your wash setup together from the first rinse to the final wipedown.

Why It Matters

• Marine-grade durability — built to handle UV exposure, saltwater, and the rough-and-tumble of the dock environment
• Large capacity — holds enough soapy water to wash a full hull without constant refilling
• Compatible with Grit Guard Wash Board — fits the Grit Guard insert for a scratch-safe two-bucket wash method
• Stable, wide base — won't tip over on a wet dock or uneven surface
• Easy to carry & store — comfortable handle and stackable design for easy transport and storage

How to Use

1. Place a Grit Guard Wash Board at the bottom of the bucket
2. Fill with water and add Boat Wash per label directions
3. Use with the Cap'n Mitt on a Stick or a wash mitt to apply soapy water to the hull
4. After each panel, rub the mitt across the Grit Guard to release trapped dirt before re-loading with soapy water
5. Empty, rinse, and store after each use

Pro tip: Use two Cap'n Jax Buckets for the ultimate scratch-safe wash — one with Boat Wash for washing, one with clean water for rinsing your mitt. This two-bucket method keeps contamination out of your wash water and dramatically reduces the risk of scratching your gelcoat.
