Storage of Detailing supplies

[Jenn1270]

How do you store your detailing supplies?

Plastic storage boxes?

Shelving system?

Other novel way?

I really need to clean up my garage and want see how others are doing it.

Yes.

I keep my MF towels, applicator pads and extra buffing pads in plastic storage boxes and plastic drawer cabinets.
My PC and enough pads for a job are in a plastic toolbox.
Those items are left in the garage.
Since I live in a cold climate, my chemicals are kept in the basement. Gallons in more plastic boxes and smaller, regularly used products on storage shelves.
I use Steri-Lite Tote trays for product used on each job.
Different products in different totes depending on whether I'm just doing a wash and interior clean up or a complete detail needing polish and wax.

This is the tote tray I use. They are deep enough to hold spray bottles and large enough to hold several bottles. Found them at Wal-Mart.

cool dark cabinets out of extreme temp changes is likely best.

I keep towels in the deep tubs sold at like Lowes. Wax in a clear tote(so I can bring it in out of the cold garage.) Foam pads/wax pads in a small tote. I have a shelf for car wash stuff also.

Old pic, gotta get another one of these. This one is overflowing these days. The underside of the shelves are covered with pads velcroed underneath.

I use the 24x48 x72 metal frame with particle board shelves. The shelves are rated @ 200 lbs. each and cost around $75. You put them together with a hammer. They are . very sturdy. I use plastic containers from Walmart with lids for MF. I use the Janitors bottle caddies from Walmart that hold 8 qt bottles for sprays. etc.

Home Depot or Sams have the shelving units. Dont buy plastic shelving units no matter how sturdy they look. I learned this the hard way!
