Towel Storage

[DP 08 GXP]

Well the Sterilite 3 drawer cart is stuffed full of various towels and I still have more that are inside the house. I am looking for something to be able to store them in that will hold a large quantity but would still need to be on rollers so I can wheel it around as I detail and to use it to hold my products on top of. Any have pictures of what they use or any suggestions? Thanks!!

You could always mount some castors on a plastic storage container...
You would spend ~$20 on 4 castors though unless you salvaged them from something else. Just put them on one and you can stack on top of that one and push it around.

What's your budget?

I was looking for something decent & doesn't break the bank to use while wrenching on the car & bike. Found a few metal utility carts under $100. Plastic, IMO, would be easier to clean, not to mention lighter to move around. The down side is they're usually above $100.

Here's one I'm considering:

$120.66 shipped. Not bad.

Im looking to stay under $300. I need it to have shelves to keep the towels wave from any dust.

The cart is similar to Meguiar's cart.

AG sells it for $150 but eligible for discounts and free shipping so a 20% off / free shipping is $120.

A review.

I was thinking something more along the lines of this

Bunky - Thank you for the nice review! :props:
It wouldn't surprise me if both carts are produced from the same facility.


DP 08 GXP - That's a nice budget ceiling (and choice, too). I don't think you'd have trouble finding a good one.

Something like a housekeeping cart might be handy for detailing & towel storage, but you wouldn't want to pull a double-duty for tools...

I do like that you could toss dirty towels into the attached hamper when done.

Here is what I use. I store it in a corner of my garage all set up with wash and rinse buckets, the sprays and towels I will use, brushes, etc. I wheel it out to my car and begin my wash. It is all open so it never gets dirty or has to be cleaned out. I got it at Sams for about fifty or sixty dollars and it is a snap to assemble - no tools. It has brakes on the wheels with just the push of a button. And it is very, very sturdy. The racks are adjustable and I use the middle rack to load my towels in sweater storage containers you get at the dollar store for a couple bucks. Everything is right there and it is so easy to wheel around the car, even when the two buckets are full of water. I highly recommend this unit to make washing and detailing much easier and faster.

I think I may have found a winner.

Shop Kobalt 4-Drawer 35-3/4-in Steel Tool Cabinet (Black) at Lowes.com (http://www.lowes.com/pd_351095-55738-PCRC2251_0__?productId=3654156&Ntt=kobalt+cabinet&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNtt%3Dkobalt%2Bcabinet&facetInfo=#BVRRWidgetID)

I like the fact that it has a built in surge protector.

We just got one of these in stock to sell at work. Im thinking of buying it myself. It is about 16" wide and ive been looking for a narrow one. You can also take it apart for storage.
