Detailing Supplies Organization (pics please!)

**LouisanaJeeper** · 05-07-2003, 12:06 AM

Sorry don`t have a pic handy, but I have a couple stainless towl racks that I screwed to my wall. They are PERFECT for storing spray bottles. Just place the lever thing over the towl rack and your done. It frees up a lot of workbench space and keeps the products right at eye level.

I have a wooden version of the pic edschwab1 posted. After messing around with the organization for the last few months, I now organize it along the Autopia lines: clean/wash, polish, glaze, seal/wax, and other stuff like glass, plastic, vinyl/rubber, then applicators/brushes, etc. I`ll post the pix in a series.

This is the left side of the "cleaners" shelf.

BTW, the generic spray bottles are for mixtures of APC+. I keep a 10:1 mix in one bottle, and a 4:1 mix in the other.

And the right side of the "cleaners" shelf.

The next shelf is for clay, glazes, and polishes plus the omnipresent GoJo.

Then I have my tiny collection of sealants and waxes.

**chris0626** · 05-08-2003, 05:28 PM

Then the QDs and touch-up paints.

**chris0626** · 05-08-2003, 05:34 PM

Then I get into the "miscellaneous" shelves, starting with this one for glass, plastic, and tire products.

I have a separate shelf for vinyl and rubber treatments. Since taking this photo, I bought David`s 1Z vinyl cleaner and Wow! am I impressed with it!

One shelf is for applicators:

and another is for spray bottles and various brushes

Organizing my supplies according to function, instead of brand, has improved things somewhat -- made it easier for me to find what I need.

Another big shelving unit is for terry towels, MFs, & waffleweaves. But you folks could probably show bigger inventories of those. So I`ll quit now.

Yes, TurboCat, go for it!

I think I`ll see if I can borrow my brother-in-law`s digital cam this weekend until I can buy one. I`ve never posted any pics because I don`t have one!

So maybe this weekend I can post pics of my car and supplies. If I can figure out how to do it!
