John, that was exactly what I was after, grab-and-go organization. Instead of hunting through shelves of product, I can go right to a bin related to the job I`m doing and find exactly what I need.

GH - Not sure if you were on Autopia.org back in the day, but I actually picked up the labeling idea many years ago from one of the original members (Brad B.) who posted pics of a similar setup in his garage.

Pat, I picked up the plastic containers at Costco a couple years ago; last time I was there there (about a month ago) they still had the same ones, so you might want to check there. They come in two different sizes as you can see in my pics, both sizes are in 10-packs.

Thanks guys!

Clark 2000psi hot/cold pressure washer

Sorry for the slow reply. I didnt get the notification. The last one is a Clarke hot water power washer. Electric pump/diesel fired burner. Its a dinosaur but still works good and is a must have for really greasy or nasty jobs. For the record, I have since replace the exhaust pipe

How hot does the output from that behemoth get, anyway? Probably not quite comparable to a steamer I`m guessing....

mrclean, i`d like to see you do a write up on detailing that beast of a machine!

**mrclean81** · 05-26-2011, 07:37 AM

I would say 150 degrees plus at least. It gets hot enough to steam up my entire shop to the point you cant see. Ive tried to get my boss to let me tear it all down and repaint it but he wont go for it lol. Its at least 20 years old.

thats nice collection

I notice most of you keep your towels and applicators out in the open. Am I the only weirdo who likes to seal mine up in bags?

**John@Autopia-Carcare.com** · 06-02-2011, 02:46 PM

Wheelman- I`ve seen many people store pads and towels in sealed bags. Usually I`ll see them stored in airtight containers. I store them indoors where it`s not humid or overly dry and I always make sure they are clean before putting them away. I haven`t had any issues with that method.

Weirdo here too

**C. Charles Hahn** · 06-02-2011, 06:33 PM

I used to do that with mine but I`ve moved away from it lately.

**mrclean81** · 06-02-2011, 08:00 PM

I keep my good Cobras in freezer bags. I have way too many older microfibers that I use on dirtier stuff like interiors or door jams to do much with. I do good to fold all of them lol.
