can anyone recommend a detailing bag to carry my DA, some pads, and products that doesn't break the bank?
 
There are some here on AG store, around $50-60. I would recommend going to Sears and picking one up, they have great carry bags for around 10-30$ with lots of pockets & pretty well made.
 
I carry my Cyclo in a Dewalt DCK019 bag; my Dewalt DWP829X in a Dewalt DCBAG3, which has been replaced by the Dewalt DG5553.

I also use a GG bag that has a collection of my "go-to" items. It'll hold a GG polisher, pads, bottles of chemicals and what ever you can stuff into the bag. Not bad for about $40.
 
I agree w/ colin there. Check out Sears. I just happened to poke around there while my car was getting aligned to kill some time and found the clearance section. I ended up picking up a nice durable looking bag w/ a reinforced rubber bottom for about $22. It's basic and has some extra storage pockets to stow other items in. Can't hurt to check out the local stores in your area first before you buy a pricey bag online.

Yard sales and Salvation Army type resellers.
$1 (black) and $5 (tan) respectively.

Stackable. Holds plenty of tools and product.

7336, 7424, 9227c (bp/handle removed), 8 mf pads - tan.

2- 849's, 6- 6.5 foam pads, 4- squirt bottles of product - black.

 
I got a tote at Sears last year for $10 on sale before Christmas. Padded handle, pockets on the sides. It doesn't hold everything, but it holds enough to take with me for touch ups when going to parades.

I got a project center last year for half price ($100) at Sears too. I had a plastic cart that I hadn't assembled yet that was $80, so I returned it and spent the extra 20.

Don't know what your budget is, but look around, and you'll find something that will work. I looked at home centers, and they have metal carts for around $40, but I thought they looked cheap and would be a PITA to assemble, and probably wouldn't last long. You might try Harbor Freight too.
 
I'm using the AG Pro Detail Bag. Plenty of room for all that I've bought here.
 
I don't do detailing for a living, but I like the Wolfgang bag sold by AG.
 
The AG bag for 39.99 is OK, but the middle part that is snapped to the sides to hold whatever you place in it separate from the bottom area is pretty weak, I have three and they all bend and collapse and constantly unsnap, it's really irritating. The Craftsman bags are pretty nice as mentioned.
 
Home Depot has a HUSKY brand bag perfect for detailers. I'll try to snap a pic of mine but I can tell you it holds over 6 32 oz spray bottles, countless, compounds, leather conditioner, degreasers, aeresols, and much more.
 
Saw one at Home Depot from Husky for about $16 that looked interesting.
 
The home depot Husky bags come in 2 sizes. I have both of them. I got them a while back. I believe the large one is $30 and the smaller one is around $20.
 
Got mine from HD too. $29.99

How many towels do you think it could hold in the center compartment?
 
I was just about to post a pic of the same one. I just bought it at HD. it's the perfect size. It can hold 8 32oz spray bottles on the outside and has 6 more large pockets on the inside. Then of course room for your polisher in the large main compartment. Only 30$. It's a husky 18" supply bag. It also comes in 14" for 20$

i also saw another interesting case. It was a stanley 3-in1 rolling workshop. I was surprised by how much storage you had and it was fairly compact. It was basically 2 large toolboxes that fasten together and can be separated. It has wheels to roll around or a handle to carry it. It was also only 30$.
 
I use 16oz and 12oz bottles and as you can see I can double them up in the outside pockets, inside I have the wax of choice, three 8oz bottles of car washes, four sample QD's (for the customers), mics brushes q-tips etc. You also have 2 exterior clip straps that you could clip something such as an extension cord to.

I put 3 foam pads, at least 6MF towels 16x16, 2 glass cleaning MF towels, Glass Master pads, and 2 regular bath type 18x30ish terry towels on top of all my other stuff that is in the center compartment. PLENTY OF ROOM trust me.
