Post Pics of Your Detailing Supplies Here!

**Porkanbeans** · 07-27-2005, 01:39 PM

Here are some updated pics of my collection. I`ve nearly quadrupled my amount of chemicals and tools (MFs, mitts, hoses, etc. aren`t pictured). I also ran by a detail supply store yesterday and picked up a lot of the new Auto Magic stuff and I`m really eager to try it all out.

You can see some of the Auto Magic stuff here. The only other gallon container not visible (behind the New Car Glaze) is Hi-Temp`s Light Cut Swirl Remover.

This is the stuff I take with me when I go mobile. Most of it is just product from the larger containers repackaged into neater looking 8 oz. flip-top bottles (and please excuse the handwriting, it`s hard to write on a curved bottle :p)

Applicators, tools, PC and pads:

I found a scrap piece of wood while organizing my products today. It proved to be a perfect spray bottle rack so I just nailed it to the shelving unit.

I don`t want to pic whore too bad (like I already didn`t

), so if you want to see close up pics of the gallon containers go here. They`re at the bottom of the photos.

Guys, where do you get the spray bottles with the blue & gold sprayers?

**BillyBarou** · 07-27-2005, 05:54 PM

I think you can find spray bottles in Costco and Sam`s Clubs.

Those particular spray bottles are Zep Professional Sprayers. I got mine at Home Depot for $3.79 apiece. They`re good sprayers, but I personally don`t like the long section of plastic in between the sprayer itself and the bottle. It feels awkward. The two bottles to the left of the Zep bottles in my pics are what I bought yesterday. 89 cents for the bottle and $2 for the heavy duty chemical resistant sprayer at my local detail supply store. I love them. I only got the Zeps because I was in a hurry to get some and HD is right around the corner from me.

Costco and Sam`s both sell bottles. I believe they are sold in packs of 4.

I got a pack of 8 (I think) at Sam`s. They`re ok quality, but there are better ones out there.

I agree that I`m no fan of the Zep bottles; they won`t fit onto any of my normal height shelves, and the sprayers don`t adjust the way I like them to spray. :doh

Has Scottwax posted any pics of his collection - must be fairly substantial?

Update on my own - got more storage boxes, so here is pretty much everything bar the buckets!!! (PC is in the Meguiars carry bag):

I was wondering the same thing!

1 Clean WS6 - that`s the most awesome looking Firebird I have ever seen, have been a lover of them since the 96 model.

your garage is so clean and beautifully set out. Not as much stuff as me but way better set out

I have some pics from earlier this year but must take new ones as I have shuffled products around to make room for new stock

My latest purchases have been 1Z, pakshak towels, Four Star and SONUS.

**C. Charles Hahn** · 07-29-2005, 07:54 AM

RobDon - where did you get that meg`s carrying bag?

**RobDon** · 07-29-2005, 08:09 AM

From the Megs cordless buffer - it was complete garbage so I threw it there and bought the PC, kept the bag!

My collection is growing steadily. New additions include the Clearkote line, the Pinnacle Souveran and Crystal Mist combo., more Poorboys, more MF, and of course, my PC 7336.

We also added the new detailing cupboards in the detailng/wash bay part of the garage that I featured in pics a few months ago.

***The Pringles can is my wiring odds and ends holder.

Again, my new detailing cupboards and portable tool bench that couses my tools and MF. This combination has helped me stay much more organized, and helped when we work on the Mustang. All these cupboards are hand crafted by my father...a real bonus to have someone who can custom craft any size cabinet that you want. :2thumbs:

Also added some additional lights on the ceiling and sides for detailing at night before car shows.

I would love to treat the floor to some type of treatment like some of you guys have to bring it up. At teh same time, I need to be able to bring in salty cars during the Canadian Winters for a salt removal detail, and mid-winter wax. Suggestions or input on floor treatments that endure washing and winter would be appreciated.

Nice Darren!

What`s in the Pringles container?

**Nick M** · 07-29-2005, 02:41 PM

Rob, your product collection seems to have grown quite a bit from your last pic a few weeks ago :waxing:

Where do you get the clear storage boxes from ?
