not quite big enough for a bowling ball...most of you could fit your head in it, holds about a gallon...I use it to wash my vehicles. I have leather cleaner, vinyl cleaner, glass cleaner, and a bunch of microfiber towels in it, but if some slush puppy evades my drunk radar, and I don't squeal the tires as they reach for the door handle, I dump the contents onto the front floor and they have to agree to hold the bucket. surprisingly, nobody's objected yet, but I chalk that up to not working the circuses and having really good drunk radar. (takes one to know one)...someone asks if I tolerated fornication in the car once. I handed them the bucket and said if they could keep the fluids in the bucket, I'd allow anything for $100...they sat quietly for the ride to Alexandria. Money talks, babe. I can't live on the dashcam footage royalties alone. I have a tab at the Paper Moon to settle.
