Product/equipment organisation
« on: 22 April 2012, 12:22 »
Ok I've now got a few bits, but atm its all just stuck in a big plastic container.
I'm thinking about a stacked drawer unit with the plastic drawers etc, but I'm not sure if it will be big enough. Also whats best with organisation? All microfibres in one drawer, electrical items in another etc. Or wash and dry in one, polish-seal-wax in another, and dressing in another with dedicated or colour coded microfibres for each thing?? How have you Pro's and very keen amateurs organised your tools of the trade?............... Pics would be awsome!  :smiley:

2 big tote boxes for me, the largest box for all the products, and the slightly smaller box for the soft stuff, like towels, clothes, pads and mitts, also got the autoglym kit bag for anything autoglym and a megs kit back for some of my megs kit (the stuff that doesnt get used)

I think I got mine from homebase.. They've done me proud as they get used and abused everyday.

Looking to upgrade to bespoke drawer units soon.

Yeah I saw a thread where you mentioned it Guy. Pretty pricey though isn't it!  :shocked:
Is that in your van though? I just need one to wheel out the shed and its ready!  :grin:

they're £20... you'd pay as much for those storage crates.

they do have little wheels that come with them to push them about if you want, i never used mine though as it does sit in the van.
