Storage Update

[Excessive Detail]

Hey guys, I recently posted some pics of how and what I used to store all my detailing supplies, and since then I have rearranged my supply storage as well as found some new things to aid in a more organized storage setup. By no means am I trying to show off or brag about the amount or types of products I have, I just want to share my ideas and maybe give some help to those looking for better ways to store their stuff, so here goes.

First, I got a new cabinet thats bigger and alot stronger, which is the main reason for the whole re-organizer my supplies, its a Colman from Lowes.

Here are the pics of how I seperate my supplies on the shelf.
The top is were I keep all my compounds. polishes, sealants, and waxes, mainlyy bottles no bigger than 32 oz.

The second shelf is were I keep all my gallon refill supplies.

The third shelf is were I keep all my applicators and clay, the clay in in the smaller contanier and I keep Light clay in the top drawer, medium clay in the second, and used caly in the third to keep from cross contamination. In larger container I keep all my sealant, protectant and wax applicators seperated again to keep from cross contamination. And my tire applicators are just stacked on the side.

Finally the bottom is for all my washing supplies, I used metal hangers to keep some stuff off the ground so they won't get contaminated and give me more room.

Here is were I hang all my bottles and keep my MF, same as before, just had to motify it for space reasons. Mfs are in a three drawer container sepereated by use, if you notice some of the mf have two similar stack and on behind it or in between it, this is were I put my the mfs I have already use so I can keep a regular circulation, so I'm not always using old ones or the same one. Dirty Mf go in containers on the side, not pictured, and are seperated by use also.

Finally, this is a space saver, I found these bottles at Wali-World, about .76 cents a peice, I bought all and a label maker and this is what I came up with, really save space, easier to take with me, and easier to apply the same amount of product each time.

I carry them in my car in this container which I modified to keep them around the edges, which allows me to put mfs, and other stuuf in the middle, big space saver.

...and here I thought I had the worst OCD about keeping my supplies organized!! :D Awesome setup!! Thanks, you have definitely given me a few good ideas!! :cheers:

[Jimmie]

Very nice. Thanks for the ideas.

[lethalxls1]

wow! very nice- I am going to get some of those mustard/ketchup squirter containers-good idea.

Nice set up! :D I like how you used the metal rods to keep the bottles upright in the plastic tub. If you later find you need more room in the bottom of the cabinet. I bought a wall mount hook and hang my buckets on the wall so they are up and out of the way.

Now that looks awesome, love your set up....Nice going!:applause:

Thats for the comments guys, I almost seem to spend more time organizing than detailing and I'm always looking for new ways to keep things organized, I just need to get my own house with my own garage then I can really go crazy with the OCD, and beleive me I have already planned it out. I have to say the biggest help with organizing and carry supplies with me is the small squeeze bottles, helps out a lot with even distribution of products, and they are cheep too.

Man that is organized well done.

[m4gician]

Hey,

Great job with the organization. Would it be too much for me to ask for some rough measurements? The cabinet, and the drawer spacing? I hate to admit it, but I'm going to copy you, and put a very similar set up in my garage. Oh, and if you're wondering, YES I am going to bite your idea ;)

Seriously, it's an inspiration.
