Default Detail equipment/tool storage

I know most of you have a toolbox and many of you guys keep your stuff organized. I am ocd when it comes to having stuff right where i need it. I can tell anyone who walks to my toolbox exactly where things are. Here recently I have been stocking up on my car wash/detail equipment..... and i am out of space in my storage room with everything that is in there.
I am considering using something like this to store my cleaning supplies(dylan from Adam's polishes does something similar)


I guess I want to see what you guys have for tool/detail equipment storage to keep things nice and neat!

Well my tool box is full, so i bought this for over flow, plus it allows me to take my tools to the truck






Also my wife organized all my rags, towels, buffing mits, etc into a bunch of small sealed bins that sit on my shelf...

The cart is nice to have while you're working on a car simply so you're not walking back and forth to a cabinet everytime you need something.

I grab all the interior supplies I need, knock out the interior.

Go back to the cabinet, grab the exterior supplies I need, and hit the exterior.

Just took a cheapy cart from the hardware store, got some self adhesive foam to protect all the edges (don't want it bumping into a car and scratching it) I even mounted a power strip on the cart so I can plug my vacuum, polisher, or lights in right at the cart.





My product storage is another story -






That doesn't include that massive amount of stuff stored in my office.

they are just walmart bins in various sizes... Then i have 2 kitchen type trash cans w/ lids for the used stuff... One for oily stuff, the other is for car washing/waxing stuff... simple and inexpensive...
