Re: lets see your supplies

I have the same bag (twice), it's the Meguiars Boot Organiser.
I keep all my products in there. Sure you have to search for smaller sized stuff like clay bars and metal polysh but you're mobile within a few seconds. Just put the bags in the trunk and go.

Fairly sure I got it from meguiars.com.. I just looked and couldnt find it..

Re: lets see your supplies

Wow! Unless you guys do this for a living, what is the purpose of having so much stuff???

My entire arsenal fits inside one bucket:
-MF towels folded neatly
-foam applicator pads
-synthetic chamois rolled inside the plastic tube
-#7
-#26
-claybar in a soap container
-Scratch-X


When my M16 gets here in a few days, the #26 comes out of the bucket and the #16 goes in.

Re: lets see your supplies

Full collection (some MF are in the washing machine though):


I use the boot organiser from Meguiars to stay as mobile as possible:

Re: lets see your supplies

Do you guys with these sweet Meguiars bags actually carry your supplies around with you in your car or do you just use it to store everything in your garage?

Re: lets see your supplies

Both. I store all my products in there and whenever I have to work on location, I just have to take them from the shelve in the garage, place them in the car and drive off.

The "downside" of this all is that sometimes, you have to search for a product (like the can of metal polysh, brushes, etc) since they're on the bottom of the bag.

If you're only detailing cars at your house, on a location (garage you rent for example) I'd invest in a nice closet and put all the products up in there. If you have to work sometimes at a garage, sometimes on location, I'd definately go for the bags as it's a time-saver. You don't have to take products from your shelves, put them in a box / bag / etc.

Do you guys with these sweet Meguiars bags actually carry your supplies around with you in your car or do you just use it to store everything in your garage?

Re: lets see your supplies

lilblkblt04 , what do you use those yellow appicators for? They are for Quik Detailing, but I cannot seem to understand why you would need them? I just use a clean MF and it works just fine.

The reason I ask, I found one on sale and bought it. Ive tried it a few times and it just moved the QD around and then Ive got to follow up with a MF...

Re: lets see your supplies

I used them once for about 2 seconds and didn't like them at all, but I figure they will be good for something eventually; wheel wells, door jambs, I don't know, I just don't want to get rid of them they might be useful. (probably not considering that I have had them for 1 or 2 years and used them once)

I bought a few of them on sale and haven't found a good use for them yet either. I've tried them with Last Touch, Putting on X-press wax, taking off X-press wax... Oh well, some day after they quit making them I'll find a use and wish I had more.
