Hey guys,

Might be picking up some work and need to better transport my stuff. Smaller car, would just put in the hatch...can fit multiple bins inside there so I think most products are fine on space.

Spent all last night finally digging up an old thread where someone mentioned the 'Stanley Fatmax' they used with custom foam cutouts to hold their bottles. I love the idea, but it has horrible longevity in it's reviews (almost everyone says it has broke in the arms).

I think I'll grab an Autogeek detailing bag to hold a lot of my bottles and such, but I'm curious if just a tub is best used for storing and separating drying towels. I need to have enough towels and microfibers for about 5 cars on a given day. Just want to have it all well organized and separated after use.

Prefer a non bag to keep things from getting wet. Anyone have some storage they're in love with and would like to share.




(P.S. Haven't been on the site for a long time because after breaking my ankle, it got really hard to spend time on here while being unable to do anything my vehicle. Things are looking up though...about 90% back to normal down there)
 
Yeah, I did see that thread yesterday.
As stated, the bags I think I know what I'll go with. But I'm curious about solid containers with possible organization compartments.
Haven't been able to find anything up my alley that can be trusted to last a good bit. Hoping someone will have something of that sort.
 
Brent,

Clear plastic bins are available just about everywhere for cheap money. I just picked up one at WalMart today with a matching cover. The one I bought was clear and was labeled 51 quarts. It measures about L = 30" W = 18" D = 18".....all this for $5.99....

Yeah, wasn't sure if that was the way to go. Could just buy a few of them. My car isn't big at all. So I just need to make sure I can keep things separated as I'm not going to be at a place where I can keep anything stored (or near home to run back and grab something).

They have water source and I believe/hope vacuum available at location. If that is indeed true, that will save a good amount of space.
Just running a lot through my head right now trying to make sure I have everything I need and can keep it organized/accessible. If this happens it will be a weekly gig, once a week.
 
The additional beauty of these Brent is they contain spills!! :props:
 
Yeah, that's why I wanted more than just bags. A plastic container is a must in my eyes.
 
For the price the plastic containers Bobby is talking about can't be beat. I have pads in one and towels separated in others.
 
Went that route.
Bought 2 for drying/microfibers (Will just separate the cleans/used between them). Got a 3rd smaller bin to keep some extra supplies as well.

Had to purchase a new wet/dry vac that was much smaller so it could fit in my car with everything else. Also ordered quite the load of new supplies and refills from AG.
Been back and forth with this company and it looks like I'll be working as my own entity, but on their property. Hopefully it works out as they seem to have a good demand...and my hobby to extra income becomes real.
