First how do you transport them?



Second how do you sort them?



third what order do you use them?



As he says on good eats.



Organization shall set you free.



Put your polishes, waxes in one.

put your trim stuff in one,

put your leather,carpet,cloth seat stuff in one,



you clean MF in one sorted by use, (never put with chems, in case chems spill. then your out of MF)

Put dirty MF in two containers.

One for Petrol based chems,wax, sealants ect.

One for General dirt MF

I just use the stackable clear plastic boxes they sell at home depot.



box #1: rags, applicators

box #2: polishes, waxes, glazes, leather treatment, tire treatments

Box #3: PC, rotary, pads, backing plates, ext cord



I dont do this for a living so I don`t have a big arsenal but i like the way the boxes stack and i can see what`s inside them. I stack them on a rubbermaid untility car so I just roll the whole thing out then set up my untility cart with all my crap and go to work.

I don`t move mine around so I keep all my products on a shelf. Then I had a those clear plastic drawer things you can get from walmart. Drawer 1 - MF towels, drawer 2 - pads, drawer 3 - PC and some small misc stuff.

I`ve got a 13 gallon bin I bought from Home Depot. Holds most everything except for very tall spray bottles.

I just bought a bunch of bins @ Wal-Mart and use them, 2 per shelf in my garage. 1 for products, 1 for pads, 1 for PC, 1 for towels, and on the top shelf of my large rack in my garage has my bottles of stuff that wont fit standing up in the bins.

I use a bunch of Sterilite plastic containers. I use clear ones for storing my MF and PC pads so that I can tell what`s inside. I also have larger 10 Gal containers for my other stuff. I have four of those tubs one each for detailing sprays, sealants and carnaubas, interior products and polish products (paint, glass, metal).



I was thinking about one of those Craftsman bin/cabinet from Sears. Been too busy to swing by there and check those out. I`ve seen pics of a few on here who have them. I saw a hip high one on sale for around $150 I believe.

Just recently got one of these too. Works pretty dang good and can actually hold quite a bit of stuff. They were impossible to find locally so I ended up buying one off of ebay.
