My Detail Trailer! Lots of pics
Well here it is......Finally I have a computer that works and I am learning to upload pictures and write reviews!
Enjoy!
First I started with a pace american 5x8 trailer with a side door and a swing rear door instead of a ramp, sorry about the blurry photo
![](http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/500/medium/IMG_0704.JPG)
The first order of business was to strip the flimsy interior panels and insulate with 1 inch thick foam board insulation (makes a big difference). Next I Replaced the useless interior panels and used 3/8th inch plywood so I could secure items to the walls. I had pictures but sadly my computer crashed and I lost them!!
Here is the (almost) finished product

Looking in from the rear door

Shelves, clipboard holder, air hose reel etc.

slide out shelves!

looking in without the 2 bucket cart

Polisher holders, and shelves for products

The very front of the trailer (easily accessible from the side door)

I found PVC pipe makes great handle holders (cheap too!)
![](http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/500/medium/IMG_10992.JPG)
Hose reel, water pump, and water tank
![](http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/500/medium/IMG_11002.JPG)
You have to cram stuff everywhere....again PVC pipe makes a great foam gun holder!
![](http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/500/medium/IMG_11011.JPG)
I changed the standard 4 prong wiring harness with a 6 prong so when i connect the trailer lights the water pump is powered up as well, 12 volt interior LED lighting is going to be installed as well (eventually)
![](http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/500/medium/IMG_11032.JPG)
I had to find a way to secure the rear door to hold it in place so i devised this prop rod which is adjustable to 3 different positions
![](http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/500/medium/IMG_11061.JPG)
My hand trays and 2 bucket cart, the tray on the right is for wheel, tire, and wheel well cleaning. The middle tray is a trash can and all of my vacuum accessories. And the tray on the left is for tire inflation (do it as a courtesy) tire and wheel well dressing. And in the back is of coarse my 2 bucket cart.
I built all of these myself out of wood since i couldn't find anything that suited my needs from the stores.
I like to bring everything I need to do an assigned task to minimize trips back and forth the the trailer, so i grab one tray and it has all of my brushes, cleaners....etc. I need to build an interior tray as well, I just haven't had time
![](http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/500/medium/IMG_11071.JPG)
Shelves with the trays removed. additional storage for bottles, etc. where I could fit it.

Secured for transport.
![](http://www.autogeekonline.net/gallery/data/500/medium/IMG_11201.JPG)
Hardest thing is finding storage for everything!

Re: My Detail Trailer! Lots of pics
I love that setup, I am soooo jealous!! It looks like you built your own 2 bucket holder and all the other little caddys. Looks so PRO.
What do you use for a water pump? Is it a low pressure system?

Nice set up. I love the pvc pipe holters!!!! Also, Do you have a pop up tent to offer some shade (I didn't spot one.)

Yes there is a tent in there towards the front a 10x10 but i dont use it that much. I usually detail early and finish up by 11 am. I am going to get different pop up though since a 10x10 is not enough

Lol I feel blind now!!! That big old tent staring right back at me lol what size tank do you have and on average how many cars do you get on a full tank?

Re: My Detail Trailer! Lots of pics
Wow, that is gorgeous!
I love the whole setup and space utilization. It's very organized and everything is secured. It looks like a closet in a house!
Amazing. I love it. Did you use a CAD program to lay it out before building it?
