I am looking at one of those, but I am interested in the one that has three half shelves. Then I could hang my wash brushes, mop, duster, and 5 gallon buckets on the open side. That is very cool and works well for you. I do not have the D-Line at this time. I do have almost the entire consumer line products to store though.

I was worried about brushes and such too, but I wanted as much shelf space as possible. Before setting it up I figured I would just drill holes and put in some sort of hanging system for my brushes. After setting it up I saw it had 'vent' holes on the side of the cabinet. I had a box of 2"x1/4" bolts sitting around and to my surrprise they were a perfect fit for the holes! I shoved a few bolts through the holes and hung my brushes from the bolts. It sounds a little ghetto, I know, but it works, and you can't really tell they're hanging on bolts when everything is hung up, and the bolts don't move at all.

kpagel... great example of how we all should be doing it. That right there is my goal.

Im in the middle of a garage transformation... Ill have some cabinets that will hopefully work as well as yours.

Beautiful setup!

If you're looking for something similar that is a bit less expensive, Home Depot sells plastic cabinets you can assemble. They cost less than $100. I've got a couple for storage (not car care stuff).

During Spring, Summer and Fall, I keep my products in the garage on open shelving. To keep MF towels clean, I keep them in a separate sealed tote. Brushes have their own tote. My wash bucket is a 5-gallon paint bucket WITH LID... the lid is great because it keeps out dirt and bugs between washes.

I live in New England where it gets cold! For winter, I pack all my products into totes and store them in the basement. As you can imagine, most car care products do not like sub-freezing temperatures!

The cabinet I use for my MF is one of those HD plastic cabinets. I never liked it because I couldn't put much on the top shelf as it would start to bend under the weight (and it wasn't much).

here is how i pack my detailing products

[broken1]

I'm not allowed to have a closet or even a shelf in the garage *women*

So all my goodies are in a blank plastic box. I have a seperate one for products and a smaller one for cloths/mircofibers etc. I've outgrown both of them though... :/

[5Hondas]

That's awesome!! I would love to have that entire collection!!

[SiriusRIMZ]

Version 1,274,378.5 of my setups. I started in a small bucket, then into a bath crate, then a milk crate, then into a file cabinet, then into a work bench, then into a cabinet, and now... finally this...




On a side note, ADS has these AWESOME MF towels on sale. I cant afford the Meguiar's towels in bulk, but ADS has these high quality towels for cheap!


I think I'm going to out grow this cabinet pretty soon. If I'm lucky, my auto body teacher is cleaning out shop and might get rid of one of those nice fire proof cabinets.

It's not pretty, but it's useful. I keep all my stuff in a shed in the backyard so toting it out for carwashes was getting old, plus if I forgot something I'd have to walk all the way around. So I got this:


I keep applicators, microfibers and terrycloth towels in their own bags. Sorry for some non-Meguiar stuff up front but you can see there's a ton of Meguiars stuff in there.

That's a great idea :-) I should try and get myself a trolley kind of thing as I don't/can't keep my stuff near the car!!!

Where'd you get that cart at? I have bench sorta thing that I tote around and not only do I use it to store stuff but I use it to wash my truck. I empty it out and put two 5 gal buckets on top so i don't have to bend over to dunk my wash mit in or get down from a stool when washing the roof of a large truck or suv. I was thinking yours is better quality and a wire construction so I know it won't rust and will hold up well. And if the shelves are big enough I could fit two 5 gallon buckets and I could switch the middle shelf to the top so the buckets won't slide around on top. So grover if you could pm me or reply where you got this I would appreciate it.

[articsilber323]

mines not very organized either

and dont flame for having mostly megs products atleast i have some

[miked2]

Griot's Garage (google them) sells a cart similar to the one depicted. I imagine that it's of good quality, as GG sells high quality stuff, but it's usually on the high price side.
