    How many of you mobile detailers use this or something similar? I would like to be a little more organized when I`m out doing details. I always end up with products and supplies scattered about on the ground and whatnot (not my towels or mitts of course) and am wondering what the rest of you do to keep everything neat and organized in one place. Running back and forth to the trailer to get stuff and put things back is not an option and wastes valuable time. Plus, I think a cart would look more professional also. What do you guys think?



    btw... all the detail carts I see advertised are over $200. Anyone know of a cheaper alternative?

    Griot`s Garage has two carts under $200.



    Sears also has quite a few carts under that same price range.



    Enjoy! :p

    Ebay, you can get a 3-tier cart for under $100 bucks, just like the ones from rightlook or detail plus. Just type in utility cart.

    I already have a cart almost identical to that one that I purcahsed from Matco tools back when I used to be a service tech for Mercedes, except mine is blue and has a lid on it. I use it at my house when detailing personal vehicles, but have no intention of lugging a steel cart around in my trailer. They`re just too heavy, noisy and too much potential of damaging property with them. Something from Rubbermaid, or the like would be ideal.

    They have several of them, but I have no idea what shipping would be on something like that. May be cheaper to buy locally...
