I always keep detail spray, spray wax, Acohol/water, bug/tar remover, window cleaner, dash protector, grout sponge; MF towels in my trunk. I have these supplies in a cardboard box but i want something more sturdy that wont wrip over time.
What r my options?- Dont want something too big.
Where can i but a tool bag or storage box?
Thanks

Galls is a company that specializes in police/fire/EMS "stuff".
Here is a link to their trunk organizer.
Police Vehicle Equipment - Emergency Vehicle Equipment - Vehicle Gun Racks : Galls (http://www.galls.com/category2.html?assort=general_catalog&cat=2690)
I have them in the Jeep and Mustang to hold my "detailing EMS kit".

Wally World carries some decent trunk organizers, as well as the pricier Thule stuff too.
Check out Amazon too:
Amazon.com: trunk organizers: Automotive (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?url=search-alias%3Dautomotive&field-keywords=trunk+organizers)
I like this one from Snap-On. Heavy duty canvas fabric sides and a metal frame.

Some of the forum sponsors carry bags:
Autogeek: Autogeek Detailer`s Tool Bag, detailing bag, detailing supplies bag, storage bag, tool box, buffer bag, car care organizer, buffing pads organizer (http://www.autogeek.net/autogeek-detailer-s-tool-bag.html)
and Adams: NEW!! Adam`s Premium Detailing Bag (http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-446-adams-premium-black-detailing-bag.aspx):
Lots of pockets, straps, etc. to hold your gear and products.
Mother`s makes a nice bag too.
I can`t believe how much stuff you keep in your car! I thought I was bad having interior spray and a MF towel in the car.
I have some Craftsman bags from Sears that I like, they were pretty cheap. Walmart also usually has some decent Stanley bags for a decent price too.

I put an old Targus laptop bag to use and it holds a surprising amount of product.

LOL, guilty as charged. I`m away from home sometimes three months at a time. I can`t count on finding boutique products when I am away. I can count on finding Meguiar`s OTC stuff almost everywhere.
Still, I`m impressed at just how much car care stuff I can pack into that small laptop bag.

I totally understand. A large part of my collection is OTC stuff (even with having Autogeek in my backyard).
Autogeek and others have some nice bags for sure... But the prices on them are a bit steep for something that`s just holding bottles. Just my opinion though. I`d rather spend the $25 or more premium on a new wax or something else.

Check your dealer if you like OEM stuff. I do. :)
