I house my stuff in a cabinet in garage. There was a thread that someone brings them into the house..Where is the best place to house this items when not in use...(Plastic bins??)

I'm going to try out some of the Gladware (you know, the cheap Tupperware) and see how that works for storage of towels and pads.



They won't fit into a bucket, but they should store nicely on the shelf...all nice & neat :D
 
Make sure the towels and pads are dry before you seal them up. They may rot from the moisture. I learned this from storing a wax applicator inside a tightly sealed wax can. The applicator was all moist and was crumbling apart after a couple of months. Someone else has posted about the rotting issue also.
 
I roll the 16x16 mfs and put 5 in a gallon ziplock. This kinda works for me as it takes about 5 per normal wash session and 10 when I go full out and apply more sealant.



Those glad tupperware knockoffs sound promising though too for them. Easier to read the writing on the container and easier to stack.
 
I mentioned that storing your stuff in the garage might contribute to scrathes on your car when you use them thinking they are clean.





I do not store anything in a zip lock baggy but maybe you should try to buy like a detailing holder and put some of your products in there and then set it in your room in the closet and set a towel over the top of it. That way you can whip the towel off when your ready to use and know you have clean equipment when you start.

No MFs yet, (Come on, group buy :) ) but I keep my pads in a small plastic bin (rubbermaid I think). After cleaning them and l let them dry before I put them in the box. I also have some silica gel beads in a perforated Altoids box that I keep in the bin to help dry the air. When we are doing some major baking, I toss the Altoids box in the oven to dry the silica.

That seems like a little... ummm overkill

I have two bigs (soon to be three cause they are getting overloaded). They are the kinds with two lids that overlap. I have one full of my products and the other is just for towels.
 
Jeff I have extra buckets. one for dirty towels and one for Mfs. When using abrasives on pads and towels and such I keep them separate from everything in yet another bucket.



I am telling ya visit the Donut shop and pick ya some up they are indispensable for all sorts of things. Heck they make for beer coolers too if you are desparate!:D
 
I do both the plastic bin and the ziplock bag approach. I put clean MF in labeled bags (i.e. CLEAN PAINT MF DO NOT TOUCH) about 4 per bag and then zip them up and stick them in plastic Rubbermaid containers ("shoebox" sized ones $1 at walmart!) and put them in the garage.



While I am using MFs I keep the ones for different usages separate and have different labeled bags for USED MF so that I don't stick a doorjamb MF in with a buffing MF. Buffing MFs or anything that I rub against my paint is stored separately and never set down on anything but the clean car or bag. After I wash the MF in the "used" bags I let them dry for a couple of days and put them in a "new" bag.



Rinse and repeat.
 
i remember the donut shop post....that was a great idea..

....i was in autozone and they had white ones for 1.99 and i did that.....so i have 2 white, one red and one gray bucket...i wanted two buckets dedicated to washing..may have to the donut shop..

thks

I wasn't sure sure if I can say anal. Nothing in a bad way, but everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) except 2 of my co-workers thinks I'm ready for the looney bin because of how I treat my car and my supplies.

My wife thinks I take better care of my car than her. Unfortunately, <span class='bbc_underline'>sometimes she's right.

Fortunately, I have this place to come to. I feel right at home!!
