Wax Case / Storage

[swanicyouth]

So, I no longer want to keep my waxes in the garage. For the last 4 months, I've been keeping them upstairs to avoid the heat of summer and the freeze of winter. However, I've been trying to come up with one central, mobile, organized organized place to store them, where the tubs wouldn't roll around when transported. I wanted some sort of "hard storage" or hard case so the stuff would be protected from outside movements when transporting.

I found this metal case at Cases Galore. It's a $50 case that was marked down to $20 due to a small dent. The foam came with the case and can be sorted to fit pretty much anything that fits in the case.

The wax

The case

Wax fitted in case with room for more

Stuff holds firmly and doesn't shift, So can can be store upright or on its side

The dents that saved me $30

Case has dual combination locks I'll never use

Awesome deal!

I'll take the case and it's content in the pictures aboved, for $99.99!

While I like the idea, and it is presentable, I believe it is much.

I wouldn't want to open a brief case each time I wanted to take out a wax, and put it back etc

Very cool case! Great idea. If you were going to detail my car and I asked " what kind of wax do you use ?" and you pulled out that case I'd be sold!

I think I'm gonna find me an old but working refrigerator and keep all my waxes and such in it out in the garage.

That was a good bargain..........:dblthumb2:

That 20 was well spent

Not a good idea. There is a huge difference in the energy consumption of old refrigerators versus new ones. Switching to a new one can pay for itself in like 8 years over one 20 years old. Furthermore, larger refrigerators tend to have lower energy consumption to square foot ratio than smaller fridges. I keep my waxes in one of the lower drawers of my refrigerator. If you want your waxes refrigerated, you should do the same. ( you do need to be careful with children thinking the scented wax is dessert by mistake, though.)
Don't kid yourself, those mini fridges are energy hogs.

The only problem with keeping wax in the fridge is that most manufactures of wax do not directly recommend it. Most say to store at stable room temperature. So, that's why I decided against it.

Mine are in the laundry closet. All tossed in a cardboard box.

Awesome! I want one

Thanks for the info. Good to know. Mine are currently in a cardboard box in a spare room at the moment Guess I'll leave them there.

Awesome, I just have my BFMS, SSII, and BFWD in my upstairs closet.

I might grab a case as a joke and lock up couple of waxes and dont tell the wife whats in it and let the anticipation build up and drive her crazy till she breaks it open........

My gf says it looks like a spy's case.

That's a pretty cool case! I love gadgets, unfortunately my budget can't keep up. LOL So now I go low tech. I store my detailing chemicals in an empty 'Tidy Cat' cat litter bucket, well rinsed, of course. Tall enough to hold spray bottles and wide enough for my current collection to fit perfectly.

And to keep items from falling over while transporting I store my 'grunge' MF's in a plastic shopping bag and place them together with the bottles. Not very glamorous, I know, but it gets the job done. But I'll be looking for something as cool as your storage case. I really have my eye on this:

Autogeek Detailer's Bag, detailing bag, detailing supplies bag, storage bag, tool box, buffer bag, car care organizer, buffing pads organizer

Thanks for sharing!
