So, I no longer want to keep my waxes in the garage. For the last 4 months, I've been keeping them upstairs to avoid the heat of summer and the freeze of winter. However, I've been trying to come up with one central, mobile, organized organized place to store them, where the tubs wouldn't roll around when transported. I wanted some sort of "hard storage" or hard case so the stuff would be protected from outside movements when transporting.

I found this metal case at Cases Galore. It's a $50 case that was marked down to $20 due to a small dent. The foam came with the case and can be sorted to fit pretty much anything that fits in the case.

Stuff holds firmly and doesn't shift, So can can be store upright or on its side

The dents that saved me $30

I'll take the case and it's content in the pictures aboved, for $99.99!

While I like the idea, and it is presentable, I believe it is much.

I wouldn't want to open a brief case each time I wanted to take out a wax, and put it back etc

Very cool case! Great idea. If you were going to detail my car and I asked " what kind of wax do you use ?" and you pulled out that case I'd be sold! 😁

I think I'm gonna find me an old but working refrigerator and keep all my waxes and such in it out in the garage.

Not a good idea. There is a huge difference in the energy consumption of old refrigerators versus new ones. Switching to a new one can pay for itself in like 8 years over one 20 years old. Furthermore, larger refrigerators tend to have lower energy consumption to square foot ratio than smaller fridges. I keep my waxes in one of the lower drawers of my refrigerator. If you want your waxes refrigerated, you should do the same. ( you do need to be careful with children thinking the scented wax is dessert by mistake, though.)
Don't kid yourself, those mini fridges are energy hogs.

The only problem with keeping wax in the fridge is that most manufactures of wax do not directly recommend it. Most say to store at stable room temperature. So, that's why I decided against it.

Mine are in the laundry closet. All tossed in a cardboard box.
