    Nothing wrong with Rubbermaid commercial stuff. Less chance of marring the paint than my aluminum cart. I prefer a third shelf to use more of the space, so I built my own. Here`s a link to the thread from AGO when I first built it a year ago. After a year of use, I haven`t changed a thing about it. Maybe there`s a feature or two there as a thought starter for you: Got my home-crafted cart operational - Auto Geek Online Auto Detailing Forum

    I have a small 5.5hp shop vac that`d fit nicely under there.
    Might grab it tomorrow if its still there.
    or my steamer would fit nicely. ..i really dont need a detailing cart but man i want one. I bet it will be more appreciated once used.

    I`ve always wondered how useful one would really be.
    It would just get in my way, but if you have the room, give it a try.

    Can`t go wrong for 100 bucks, Rubbermaid makes quailty carts. Easy to keep clean and nothing to really rust out being as its going to be around product/water. Once you get a cart you`ll wonder how you ever lived without one!

    Re: Is this detail cart worth buying?

    I can`t really see the size of it? I have a cheap Harbor Freight 3 shelf cart I use. The only bad part about mine is the width when polishing. It just isn`t wide enough for any of my polishers to lay flat on it without 1/3 of the polisher hanging off. I have to set my polisher long ways and it takes up a ton of room. Just make sure you have one that meets your needs. I liked the idea of a third shelf and love how I can place all the bottles I use the most on the middle shelf and have them quickly. I also added plastic pegboard to mine so my brushes stay with me also.

    I have this exact one and it clogs up space for the few times I`ve rolled it out. I walk miles during wash detail oh well.

    This is what I use for polishing tray works mint, and not overly expensive. Helps out a lot when your correcting paint on a daily basis!

    Who is it made by? My only problem is I am very limited on space in my garage. I pretty much have to plan out anything and everything that goes into my garage. Lol

    Re: Is this detail cart worth buying?

    i love the idea of having a cart but i cant justify having a huge cart take up my garage space. i have a folding hand truck for my buckets when i wash. i use them to put brushes/bottles on too. when i polish, i fold out both work benches on each side of the car as a seat/table

    Amazon.com: Giantex Hd En131 Aluminum Platform Drywall Step up Folding Work Bench Stool Ladder by Giantex: Home Improvement

    not the exact ones i use but you get the idea

    Re: Is this detail cart worth buying?

    The one with the bottle holes is nice.

    I`m the same as Donbeezy, I don`t have the space for one and couldn`t even wheel it around a car in the garage anyways.

    Will get a dual bucket dolly one of these days. I have all the products i need short of a few poorboys things i will end up buying.

    Now it`s just tools/equipment and storage stuff I`m focused on.
    And of course finding more jobs so these products don`t go lonely.
