Where do you store your stuff?

I’m just a weekend warrior/nonprofessional detailer. My latest obsession has been storage.

I have kept things in the garage in the past when I really didn't give a damn about detailing, but no longer do that due to temperature extremes. I have kept all my products on a shelf in basement up until recently. Shelf works fine and it's nice to see your products displayed.

I was looking at detailing bags but settled (for now) on this trunk organizer type unit. It works well for all my supplies and I can grab it and go when needed. There have been times I was either in driveway or at one of the DIY car wash bays and forgot something I needed. I'm now keeping everything together.

I have a few totes in the basement and one of those cleaning supply caddies to take stuff out to the garage.

Nice that looks like a good option.

Nice setup Bosko. I've been eyeing that AG bag. Looks good.
 
I have a set of shelves specifically for Detailing stuff set up in my workshop, which is inside my house. Wherever you keep your stuff, the most important thing is it’s inside with you and not in a hot garage or a cold garage.

also those cleaning supply totes are a godsend, I have three of them…

You know what is crazy, I order my G8 as a bundle and the bag it came with was on backorder.
I called CS and they said if they could substitute the AG bag they could ship it that day!
The griot bag was nowhere near a bag like this!
Of course I said sure!!...lol
 
I will post my famous pic after work today

Plastic shelve unit in the warm months in the garage. Then thru the garage to the basement in the winter to protect from freezing. Easy move really. I would not get plastic again. It tends to warp. I would get a metal shelving next time around.

Dedicated garage space with overflow in rough totes in garage as well

Hawaii so no winter summer plan needed

No photos but I am moving my stuff to the new house today actually, getting keys after work :) I keep liquid containers in a yellow lid tote identical to some shared here. Microfibers are in plastic drawers and segregated based on use. Glass, interior, paintwork, "dirty work"(I.E. door sills or engine bays), and drying. Wash pads, foam cannon, and grit guards stay in their buckets. I have gotten away from larger containers(gallon or bigger) to minimize the space needed for all of it. But now that I am leaving the apartment life for the home owner life, gallons and larger are back on the table if they make sense to get. Sonax wheel cleaner plus will be my first large container purchase I suspect.
 
I'm cheating and pulling one of my posts from the archives. :D

At our house we've got a bunch of the restaurant style wire racks from Costco - great deal for how sturdy they are (I got a cheaper one from target once, was definitely not as rugged). For storage, I like the Sterilite totes. I stick to the smooth top ones versus the latching since it makes them easier to wipe off before opening.

They also have some with rubber seals (they call them gasket boxes) that I use for stuff that lives out in the garage - full peace of mind knowing nothing is going to work it’s way in there. Also good for stuff you want to make sure doesn't stink if you're storing it inside.

I’m in MN so it’s freezing temps in the winter and 90+ in the summer. I’ll load up a separate tote or a small handled carrier to bring everything I’ll be needing up to cut down on trips to the basement.

Little messy, but here are the totes downstairs. (Gallons, distilled water, and a few other things live on a different shelf).


I've also taken to setting up a tote that's got all my high use microfibers as a "Rinseless wash go box". Everything I need to do a full wash including wheels/jams/windows/LSP touch up. Fill handled carrier with Product as needed, grab go box, and head out.
 
Nice! Some of you have killer setups. My last house had a much nicer garage but my current one is old and needs work.

My apartment has this "almost made for my addiction" room. I do have my trunk crates in another closet and microfiber towels in yet another closet, this is my main storage area. I was able to "widdle down" a couple items this past detailing season. I'll be adding some more, new products during the winter...stay "tuned"

We already knew you had issues but that solidifies it. Too bad I share those same issues. :)
