Detailing Supplies Organization (pics please!)

This is making me dizzy....

I Toss My Yellow Foam Apps After Each Use. At A Quarter A Piece, I Find Piece Of Mind With Using A New One And Dont Have To Worry With Washing Them.

Bad Autopian points :nono



I love my products, foams, applicators, so much I feel sad when I have to toss any away I wash them after each use, and love to do it also. I have a dead MF applicator that I washed and kept, just cause it deserves to be around.

Nor can you have enough buffing pads!!

What are those black pads on the left?

 

[BradE]

Those are 3M Foam Waffle polishing pads for a rotary buffer. I have the same pads. Good Choice Tim.

Yep I Gots Them too! I Like Them Alot, Plus I Can Get Them Locally!:xyxthumbs

Hey!



Yup! Those are 3M Black Waffle Polishing Pads! Showroom L told me about them a while back so I went and tried them; I love those pads!! For doing mild swirl removal work with the rotary, they are awesome! Thanks SRL!!!



My next fav is the Meg's Beige Finishing Pads with #82 Swirl Free Polish! I had problems with a certain batch a while back, but my new ones are excellent!!:xyxthumbs



I also like the 3M white waffle cutting pad as they do not seem to build up as much heat compared to the Meg's cutting pads. As such, they do an excellent job with DACP!



Cheers

Tim

Plus I forgot to take a pic of my detailing towels.

I have them in a three drawer rubber maid cabinet. Which includes about 75 microfiber towels, love them!!! :xyxthumbs

 

[JasonC8301]

Green Monster sweet set-up. Now I want one of those cabinets...Off to staples to take a look at prices.

...and i thought i had alot of stuff!...wow...i feel like a shadetree detailer compared to all of you!

 

[chris0626]

Hmmmm ..... Green Monster ... for some reason, as I look at your superb organization (labels on the Ziplok bags, no less!) the phrase "Autopianly anal" is coming to mind again. But, gosh, I can't imagine why.

 

[Tim Lingor]

Ahhhh.... Green Monster an Autopian after my own heart!!!:xyxthumbs Well done!!



Hey, why do you have an air mover?

 

[Green Monster]

Hey, why do you have an air mover?

Every occassion christmas/birthday the wife buys me something for my detailing hobby/business. This past year was a rotary for xmas and the dryer(air mover) for my b-day. I am hoping for a small extractor someday but that alot of $$$$.



The dryer (air mover) helps dry the interior that I have shampooed about 5 times faster. Last year I did about 30 cars and this year already have 30+ on the to do list. Gotta love it!!!

"Autopianly anal"

I know but if I am not organized it screws up my whole detailing process. :nixweiss I know its an illness without a cure.





Thanks all for the coments, it just took awhile to download the camera and upload them here. To busy detailing!!!!!!!

 

[Tim Lingor]

Hey Green Monster,

I must agree, organization is very very important!! I have a dedicated room just for my detailing supplies. I have my buffers, MF's and all of the products in different spots. I even organized the products based on use( compounds, polish, wax, sealants etc...) That way, when I need something for any situation, I have it. I do not have to scramble to the stores to find a product.



Problem is, I am running out of room!

 

[imported_Intel486]

I need to clean up my detailing stuff I keep inside and take a picture of it. I mean, right now I'm crammed in this room typing on my computer with four baskets of towels around me, box of flyers, ice chest, buckets, gallon jugs... It is a mess in here...

 

[cpaddock]

Nor can you have enough buffing pads!!

Man that pic makes me kinda ill thinking of all the coin wrapped up into those pads:scared :shocked. If they pay the bills tho......

 

[JasonC8301]

I just organized my detailing supplies for under $20. Three 12 Qt. Boxes and one 18 qt. box added to the Meguiar's tote, and a 30 qt. tote.



Whats hiding?

This is!

All my orders combined form Pak Shak, JT International, Harbor Freight, and Autopia!

My MF Towels all nice and washed (Woolite, the BBT and 3 original Miracle towels from CMA were washed in Tide, and to make sure there was no fabric softener in the washer or dryer, i washed two loads of laundry.)

(The three lying in the middle are original Miracle Towels from CMA back in 1999....



I will have to get one of those San Dusky Cabinets from Staples soon. Its under $200 too! Green Monster's pictures inspired me to set out and get one....

 

[Fr0zen]

Where did you get the Bigger Menzerna Bottles Besides 16oz. ?

 

[JasonC8301]

Those Menzerna bottles are 16 oz. Someone on the forum in Portugal, gosh can't remember who, jgv something?? Said he can get 1L bottle sof the Menzerna products...

 

[imported_jgv]

Yeap! I can buy only 1L bottles of Menzerna products.



I love to see people taking good care of their products, as I do. Even those I don't like or use so much, I take care and keep.



I'm organizing my products, when it's done I'll post some pics as-well.
