Detailing storage
« on: 12 July 2011, 20:31 »
What do you guys use to store all of your bits and bobs?

I have tried stackable boxes etc but i seem to be forever replacing/mixing up clothes and getting them dirty against other bits and bobs.

I am racking up a fair collection of products but im going through micro fibre clothes quicker than socks!

I use lidded stacking boxes from tescos in various sizes for clothes, pads, applicators and other odds and sods, i`ve got various size flight case`s for my polisher`s,waxes,sealents and different grades of polish

same here, i use a huge stackable box for all the stuff for the golf, all the microfibres live in the bucket anyway as they get washed after every use, even if theres one or 2 i dont use, they all get rewashed

as for the show car, all the stuff i need for that car, which isnt alot to be fair, all lives in a megs carry bag in the car

i need to sort mine out, looks like the last time my gear was packed away the cap was not down on my cg trim stuff and it has leaked on my new sn finger mitt and ruined it!!!!

maybe time for a restock, i need new applicators and cloths..... and a decent storage system.

I have a couple of big ones of these with various sized drawers in them.
They are good but im always scared to death of dust getting into the microfibres and pads when im cutting/grinding/welding/burning/sanding etc.
