Product Review: Wolfgang Detailer's Bag
Wolfgang Detailer's Bag, wolfgang polisher bag, detail bag, Porter Cable 7424 detail bag

Description: (Taken from AG's website)

The Wolfgang Detailer’s Bag is a carry-all for your detailing supplies, even your polisher! Just like a carpenter’s tool box, the Wolfgang Detailer’s Bag carries your tools of the trade. This well-made, generously sized bag holds bottles, buffing pads, brushes, and everything else you need to tackle any detailing job.

This bag reminds me of the old-fashioned doctor’s bag. It’s perfect for a mobile detailer making house calls. With 12 pockets, two large compartments, Velcro™ fasteners, and interior elastic straps for small items, the Wolfgang Detailer’s Bag literally has a place for everything.

At 17 inches long, the Wolfgang Detailer’s Bag accommodates the Porter Cable 7424XP and most other polishers. It has a bottom compartment for pads and backing plates. You can fit 10 16 oz. bottles, two 8 oz. bottles in two smaller pockets, multiple detailing brushes and swabs, towels, and there are even Velcro™ fasteners on the top of the bag to secure an extra extension cord. Whew! That’s a lot of detailing supplies but the Wolfgang Detailer’s Bag can handle it.

Speaking of the handle, it has a soft grip and there’s an optional shoulder strap to keep your hands free.

Load it up! The rugged construction of the Wolfgang Detailer’s Bag means you can fill it full of products without putting any strain on the materials. The stainless steel handle is secured into the hard end panels that give the bag its shape and strength. The entire bag is made of rugged, water resistant, 600 denier nylon canvas. The seams are all reinforced with canvas and metal studs. The bottom of the bag features two non-skid feet.

The Wolfgang Detailer’s Bag is a must-have for any detailer or hobbyist. The bag is big, its functional, its organized, and it looks great. The black bag has yellow trim with the Wolfgang Concours Series logo embroidered on the top flap.

Polishes, towels, a buffer, and pads are the tools of your trade and the Wolfgang Detailer’s Bag is your tool box.

Price:

$49.99

Introduction:

I originally received this detailer's bag a long time ago and never got to use it. Partly because I didn't want it to get dirty and ruin its cleanliness. I totally forgot about this product until I recently moved to an apartment where the luxury of washing and detailing your car in your driveway and garage is non-existent. I always have to go to a coin-op to do a traditional wash to my vehicle or go to my parking space if I have to do a rinseless/waterless wash.

I have been hauling my detailing products in multiple supermarket plastic bags. Each time I wash the car, I carry lots of things such as microfiber towels, wash mitt, QD, spray wax, waterless wash, waffle weave towel, wheel/tire cleaner, tire shine, interior detailer, etc. It gets very disorganized quickly because I was carrying multiple plastic bags. I would say about 6 months ago, I remembered that I had my Wolfgang Detailer's Bag. I started using it and I've always been with it ever since then. It's truly a great tool to have when detailing your vehicle outdoors.

Opinions and Observations:

The first thing I was impressed with this bag is its build quality. The fabric used throughout the bag feels very thick and sturdy. They don't flex as much when poked and the 2 short side walls are very hard. The velcro looks like it will stay there forever. The pockets for product also look like they're not going to fail anytime soon. Wolfgang even thought of your own comfort by providing this comfort grip handle. This is very effective because it doesn't hurt your hand when carrying the bag especially if you put something inside that's heavy like a polisher. Here's a picture of the handle:

The next good thing that caught my attention is the space the bag provides you. I couldn't believe how much stuff I can pack in there. It has a lower compartment, a big space in the middle, and pockets surrounding the perimeter of the bag. Here is a picture of the lower compartment:

You can easily stuff 4 6.5" Lake Country pads in there as shown below. I'm sure you can also fit a combination of 5.5" and 4" pads.

The top cover is held on by velcro attachments on either side of the bag. Here is a picture showing the top cover opened from the front of the bag:

If you have tall bottles to bring, then there's no problem!!! You can completely remove the top cover that will remove the height restriction of the bottles you can put inside the bag. It's like having a convertible in the detailing bag world! Here's a picture of the top cover completely removed:

Did I forgot to say that this thing is SPACIOUS?! The picture below shows how much volume the main compartment has. In addition, it has a lot pockets and holders surrounding the perimeter. You can put spray bottles, brushes, sticks, etc in there and put the big items in the center.

Here are some pictures of the main compartment loaded with products:

Another feature I like about this bag is the metal bar used as the handle for the bag. I like how it spans from end to end of the bag. When you remove the top cover of the bag and make it like a convertible, you can use the metal bar to hang spray bottles as you can see above. I think that's a neat feature and I love it.

The picture below shows pockets on the side and back of the bag respectively:

08_-_Side_Pockets.jpg


As you can see, the back pockets can easily carry 4 16oz bottles. That's good for your compounds, polishes or liquid waxes.

The yellow/black color scheme of the bag is a great combination too. I think it exudes elegance and cleanliness at the same time. Very proper as a detailer. I like it a lot.

Conclusion:

Before, I would have never thought of buying a bag specifically made for a detailer because I thought I can just use a plastic bag or any type of bag for that matter. This was true until I got to try the Wolfgang Detailer's Bag and it definitely changed my opinion on it. I think this bag makes mobile jobs a lot easier by enabling you to organize the products you have to haul in 1 bag. It's just so convenient to have. In addition, the material and build quality is top notch. I think the saying "you get what you pay for" applies here. If I had a chance to buy this once again, I wouldn't hesitate to do so especially in my current living condition. Go get yours now! It's worth it and you will NOT be disappointed.
 
Outstanding review Marc! I don't think you could have written it any better to be honest haha. I would consider my self semi-mobile as I go to some people's houses and wash there vehicles for them but the large corrections I have them come to me. However, like you I would use plastic shopping bags and I hated it. I actually think this just might be my next purchase. I could fit everything I need into this thing! Awesome write-up :props:
 
Thanks for the review Marc!!

IMHO...You are "spot on" in your assessment of this style of Detailing Bag (regardless of the Brand-name that it may be so labeled).

It is indeed roomy...
And with enough dedicated compartments to bring along all of the
products, tools, MF towels, etc. that one needs for a detailing session, or two.

What you have stated below really applies to me now :

Due to "The Good Wife's" beneficence of purchasing a: Personalized "Gift-Detailing Bag" for me...
I wound up giving away my similar style Detailers Bag, that had a different Brand's logo.


BTW Marc: I know you'll really enjoy this purposeful Detailer Bag!!
And so would others.

Nice review Marc. I've always wanted one but couldn't get around too spending that much on a bag.

I might just have to add one to my wishlist for when i have extra funds on an order. Again thanks for the review :xyxthumbs:
 
Excellent review mark! At $49.99 it seems worth it. The bag looks very nice & well built. Very thorough review I really enjoyed reading this one!
 
Nice review. I don't have anything now, might have to put that in my wish list.
 
Hey Marc,

This is one nice review!

The thoroughness and clarity is outstanding but the layout along with photos should be an example for others to follow.....:props:
 
Thanks for the review!

It was my pleasure pcw25! This is indeed a great product.

Thank you so much for the compliments, Caleb! Much appreciated! I really try. :)

Yeah I've done my fair shares of carrying my detailing equipment and products in plastic bags. This bag makes it so much easier.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Bob! I already enjoy using this bag a lot. I know this will last a long time given its sturdy construction but once I need another one, I know where to get mine.

I'd really like to see the bag that you have, Bob!

To anyone who doesn't have this, you should get one!

Nice review Marc. I've always wanted one but couldn't get around too spending that much on a bag.

Thanks a lot, T3! You wouldn't be disappointed!

Thanks so much, Aaron! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed reading my review. At first, I didn't think it was but once you try it, you would think otherwise. It's so worth it.

Nice review. I don't have anything now, might have to put that in my wish list.

Thank you, LJSNY!

Thank you for the compliments, Bobby! Means a lot coming from a very senior member like you. If you have anything you think is good to add to this format, please let me know!
 
:dblthumb2: Great review! I purchased the Autogeek version about a year ago,the one that comes with several products included. It has been a good investment, like you said ,very sturdy.
 
First thing's first: Thank you Marc for the review.

I'm looking to pick up a detailing bag. I've been using a canvas shopping bag to haul my stuff around, but it's time to step up and get a purpose built unit. Unfortunately I've missed the Blackfire sale. However, a similar bag from DP is on sale, so all is not lost.

Since I've bumped this thread, let me use this opportunity to ask how is the bag been holding up?
 
I have using the AG branded bag for some 4 or 5 years now, zero issues with it. In fact I just picked up the DP version as the price is to good to pass up

My pleasure BrutalNoodle!

I haven't really used it a lot because I don't do much mobile detailing but I've used it to store my detailing items here at home. I think the bag itself is very sturdy in construction and so far, it has held up very well. There was only 1 item that broke on me - it was the plastic rail at the bottom of the bag. There are 2 plastic rails in parallel underneath the bag to elevate the bag itself when placed on a flat surface. It just cracked and kind of disintegrated.
 
Nice review. I scored one during the 25% off and free shipping sale for a steal. They were already marked down at the time. I also ended up with a second from the Mystery Box deal. One has my compounds, polishes, Eraser, pad cleaning brushes, flashlights, and spare backing plates. The other has my interior detailing products and the big top part holds my interior cleaning brushes. Its a great setup for being mobile.

Thanks and I totally agree!! Man marked down and extra 25% off?? It is indeed a steal!
 
Marc - do you think the tall BF spray bottles (BF Trim AIO) will it inside the bag?

Thank you Marc! I mostly do waterless + detail spray, so it's on the light duty side of things; 4 to 5 lbs worth of gear, but will definitely take extra care handling the bag.

That's great! Thank you for the feedback. The older logo is quite attractive. Reminds me of Milwaukee power tools.
