I think everyone who has been in search of a good detailing bag will appreciate this.
I, like a lot of people on here wanted a super cool detailing bag to hold my PC as well as some smaller product bottles and pads if possible. I just dont have the $45 for the ones AG sells, which look awesome I must say, but being I was in need of something but couldn't afford what was for sale on here, I did what I usually do, improvise.
I decided to check out Lowes to see what kind of bags or even tool boxes they had that may work for my PC. I found a pretty nice one for $20...built quite well...decent space but nothing to go crazy over, but upon my sisters HEAVY encouragement, we went to Goodwill!
Well i've gotta tell you she was dead on...we actually found 2 bags..and the price for both was 1/2 of what the one at Lowes would have cost me...it was built as good if not better...and had more space and compartments.
I'm so happy with our finds (well really hers but it was my idea to get a couple bags) that I took a few pictures to share with you guys.
First here are the two bags, the left one is my PC bag now and the right one is a bag full of towels and a few other detailing goodies...plus their both black and match which is pretty sweet.
The towel bag actually has wheels on one side and an extendable handle, which for something as light as a towel bag isnt a must have thing, but if your hands are full and you wanna bring one more thing it could come in handy:
Heres the inside of the bag...nice area for 3 rows of towels...interior microfibers on the left, polishing ones in the middle and drying towels on the right:
Also a couple cool pouches for interior brushes/tape and some mini shop vac attachments (not seen in the picture)...and also 2 smaller pockets that wern't opened up in this pic that have things like a mini 1st aid kit (havent had to use that yet thank goodness! :buffing and some hose washers and other small goodies
NOWWW for my new baby, my PC bag which has a ton of storage area and holds everything i need really well
Here it is:
On the front side (the side facing you in the picture above) it has 2 zipper compartments, the front one opens up and has a seperate sleeve area in the back that worked great for some 4" pads and hand pads and smaller storage areas in the front, perfect for 'ketchup bottles' of compound/polish/wax and smaller tools:
Then the second zipper compartment behind this one works great for backing plates/brinkmann/tape etc.
Then on the back side of the bag is a 3rd zipper compartment that i put about a 1/2 dozen of my nicer polisher cloths in as well as a bottle of spray wax:
Then of course the main comparment in the middle which is only about 6-7" wide, which is perfect for my PC and 5.5" pads and even a 7" finishing pad. It holds the PC so that its not rolling around in there but its not so tight that its going to damage it, or squish my pads
Heres a better picture showing everything that fit in the middle compartment:
Like my new LC Flats and 3 Hydros?
Just wanted to show with a little searching and the willingness to think 'outside the bag' if you will...you can find something that will work exactly how you need it too even if you're tight on money, which i ALWAYS am lol. For $10 I got both of the bags above in like new condition at a goodwill just around the corner from me lol...so im pretty happy. Hope this helps someone out.

. No worries about not having enough to buff even the most difficult vehicle! These pads do clog up quickly! I've been cleaning mine after each section.:xyxthumbs:
