I get alot of comments from folks when they see me drag out this black case.
It holds my Cyclo, Metabo and my DeWalt. It is pretty tough, seems to hold up well in wet weather and it protects and keeps my polishers out of sight.

Yeah I got the case from "The Container Store". It cost about $60 plus another $15 or so for the packing stuff.
There are actual cutouts in the bottom foam piece so that my polishers sorta "custom" fit into their slots.
For any Pinnacle fans out there...the two half gallons you see are OLD SCHOOL:D They no longer make the Glass Polish and the other container is the long gone "Window Tint Cleaner". I am hoping they are worth money soon!

If anyone wants a really kick-a** case, check out Pelican Case. I have a few for diving equipment. Totally bombproof (almost). Their warranty (and I`m serious), covers everything except `shark attack and children under 5`.
You can get pick & pluck foam in them so you can customize it to hold anything securely.

Anthony,

I just got those sent to me today from Top of the Line. I have not yet had the chance to try them but as soon as this weather, like Jay mentions, clears up I will get right on it :)

They are all LC pads. Mostly 7.5 with a few 6`s and I think two very old 8`s.
Sunday looks like a good day.
Later,

The case needs a "top secret" or "for professional use only" sticker. Nice product collection!

Sorry to get off topic, but what do you think of the Menzerna 7.5 wheel cleaner?

Yeah my partner Ron and I joke that if a cars is bad that means I have to "open the black case and just opening it is an extra $150!" :D

Not at all off topic but as of yet I have not had the chance to try the Menzerna QD nor the wheel cleaner. Just got them delivered to me today. Hope to try them tomorrow.
Thanks,

Anthony, just curious why the Metabo and the DeWalt. Does the DeWalt have some advantages over the Metabo? Thanks.

The Metabo I like to set up as my final polish/finishing machine. It is very light and very easy to manuever across the paint.
The DeWalt I like to set up for heavy cutting and mild polishing as I am able to "feather" the rpm`s via the variable trigger. The Metabo basically has an on/off switch but is also variable in speed choice, from 700 rpm`s to 2500. I usually do my final buffing at about 1200 to 1400 with either Optimum Polish or FPII and a blue LC pad.
The DeWalt has more torque at lower rpm`s. So each has a strength where the other has a weakness so they make a nice balance.
