Just picked up one of these from Halfords. Currently on sale at £18.
All my gear now in one place!

That's pretty cool.

Has anyone seen one of these here in the States???

I will have to look at getting one of those. Thanks for the post.

Sorry,are you saying you can fit all your detailing supplies in this or just your PC/pads?
I always have difficulty finding containers tall enough for standard size trigger spray bottles over here in the UK.

Just processing some pics (from my phone)...

Here it is all closed up and ready to 'roll' in my kitchen:

Two small (clear plastic) compartmenets open in the top on each side, and a luggage-style handle flips up from the top, to pull it on its wheels (round the back). The black bar across the center can be used for carrying it rather than 'wheeling' it:

The top can be opened (via one catch) to reveal a small storage bin:

Via two more catches (front and back) the top can be completly removed to reveal the larger storage bin. This has a rubber seal around the top and suggests that it *might* be able to be used as a bucket if necessary. All the standard retail Autoglym bottles (including the sprayers) fit in there with no problems:

Haven't got the PC in there though, as if I did that I'd need to get the power transformer in there too. At only £18, I'd probably buy another one for the PC and some other, less- frequently used bits and bobs.

Edit: The bottom bin would fit bottles up to around 12 inches high.

Very interesting, thank you!I have a large traditional style plastic and checkerplate toolbox by Stanley that fits the PC perfectly (no room for the tranformer, just a few pads) you might want to check this out first.

It seems to be a hit in the world of arts and crafts with some people actually painting them..
