Garage organization - beginning.

Just trying to get the garage organized so it can function. I got these bottles from US Plastics. The chemicals are from various sources.

I take this one into the driveway.
It has degreaser, acid, alcohol, quick detailer, no-rinse wash, and window cleaner


This stays in a bag in the hatch of each car I have with a few towels.
It has degreaser, 2 different quick detailers, exterior dressing, tire dressing, leather dressing


This is what I leave on the bench for winter use.



Starting to come together.

Re: Garage organization - beginning.

I remember a guy form the 80's who owned a detail garage in Mamaroneck. He used to re-bottle all of his chemicals so customers could walk into the shop and not know what he used. Pretty interesting idea. He didn't try to sell the chemicals at all, he just wanted to create a little mystery. For some reason, I do remember customers all wanting to know what he used.
He used 100% Car-Brite products at the time, and used frosted "ketchup" style dispensers for just about everything. (Like the empty bottles on my top shelf in the cabinet)

Good going! Looks good. Are those labels with a label maker or off a computer printer? Any problems with them smearing when they get wet?

Someday I get my garage in order. It's just not an easy project to start.

Thanks. The cabinets are from Sears. They are all metal Craftsman. They were relatively inexpensive, I think $150 each.

THe labels are from a Dymo label maker.

Re: Garage organization - beginning.

'I just found some really cool metal pegboard at Your Garage Guy Home. I think this would look awesome next to those cabinets. Who do you like the plastic pegboard in those pictures? Do they hold up well? I can\'t decide what to do in my garage.\r\n\r\ngarage-organization-beginning-metal-pegboard.jpg'
