Just picked up one of these from Halfords. Currently on sale at £18.

All my gear now in one place! :bigups

I will have to look at getting one of those. Thanks for the post.

Sorry,are you saying you can fit all your detailing supplies in this or just your PC/pads?

I always have difficulty finding containers tall enough for standard size trigger spray bottles over here in the UK.

Here it is all closed up and ready to `roll` in my kitchen:

Two small (clear plastic) compartmenets open in the top on each side, and a luggage-style handle flips up from the top, to pull it on its wheels (round the back). The black bar across the center can be used for carrying it rather than `wheeling` it:

The top can be opened (via one catch) to reveal a small storage bin:

Via two more catches (front and back) the top can be completly removed to reveal the larger storage bin. This has a rubber seal around the top and suggests that it *might* be able to be used as a bucket if necessary. All the standard retail Autoglym bottles (including the sprayers) fit in there with no problems:

Haven`t got the PC in there though, as if I did that I`d need to get the power transformer in there too. At only £18, I`d probably buy another one for the PC and some other, less- frequently used bits and bobs.



Edit: The bottom bin would fit bottles up to around 12 inches high.

Very interesting, thank you!I have a large traditional style plastic and checkerplate toolbox by Stanley that fits the PC perfectly (no room for the tranformer, just a few pads) you might want to check this out first.

It seems to be a hit in the world of arts and crafts with some people actually painting them..

EDIT: In the US it appears to be called `ZAG - All Project Vehicle` as detailed here:
