What do you keep all of your detailing supplies in?

[StLB5]

I`d like to get some kind of organizer that I can store all of my spray bottles, little bottles, big bottles, wipes, tire swipes, mf`s, etc... in but haven`t been able to find anything with enough compartments to keep everything upright. What do you guys use? I`ve become somewhat of a traveling detailer too with friends and family so I`m looking for a duffel bag type thing.

There are more than a couple threads on this topic. Most people store them in cabinets in their garage. Do a search on it and you`ll see some of the threads. A lot of guys post pictures and links of where you can buy the carriers. I just bought a couple of the large containers from Target and put them in my trunk. :) Now they are on a shelf. Still in the buckets though. lol I need to get organized.

I use the big clear plastic "keep box" i think the brand. mJts bug enought o hold everything, and i just use a garbage bag to carry mny towels, no space for a swanky shevling thingn where i live.

I ordered the soft-sided organizer from CMA yesterday along with a bunch of other stuff. Hopefully this will help reduce the clutter from my detailing supplies...

Redcar: nice!!

I keep everything in a linen cabinet in the house.



For travel I would use a milk crate-type box. That way you can keep the bottles upright and have easy access to everything. Alternatively you can also use a big Rubbermaid-type container with a lid.

In my in-ground safe in the basement with the rest of my valuables.;) ;)

I keep mine in several Rubbermaid containers that I can carry into the house during the winter to keep all of my products from freezing!

I keep most of what I need in my main cabinet in the garage. I have another in my basement. I pull the bins as I need them. I also have things like buffers and heat guns, etc each in their own cases.

Brad, you`ve got more supplies (especially applicators) than my local Autozone! :)

My name is Brad. I have a foam fetish. :(

Redcedar Guy, you sure got a lot of Stoner`s stuff. I didn`t know you were such a Stoner.

I keep all my stuff on some shelves I built in the garage. I have a shelf for the towels at the bottom, then products by the gallon, then bottles of products, then more products on the next shelf, then tools like brushes, rotary, PC, pads, etc. I`m not nearly as super-organized as these guys. I also have buckets with stuff in it, and my vac is on the floor next to my shelves, along with extension cords and other stuff.

I keep microfibers in the top black box. The bottom box holds cotton towels and wash mitts. Next to that is my hamper for used towels.



The red cabinet holds more detailing supplies and light-duty tune up tools like tire gauges, oil filter wrenches, air tools, etc. The big tools are at the rear of the garage out of view in another set of tool cabinets.
