How do you organize your detail supplies?
Here's my detail Cart.
Clear totes store my wash MF mitts/towels, Polish MF towels, polishing pads, misc. supplies, all separately. Lower shelf holds large MF totes gallon containers, and PC-7424, upper shelf holds all polishes, waxes and detail products, smaller totes for pads and supplies. Sprayers and brushes hang from the ends.

Re: How do you organize your detail supplies?
Holy detail shop Batman!!!Nice organization... but I think you need a bigger cart... maybe a golf cart!
Seriously, nice collection. I have too many chips in the front from the long road trips to try and keep the finish that detailed any more. Maybe I should spend a few weekends just cleaning up the front and filling in those chips with paint over and over until I build them back up and then level them out. THEN I could start claying the car and go from there.
Cheers!
Re: How do you organize your detail supplies?
This may either be overkill or just unfair - I do work for Meguair's after all, plus I detail cars on the side so I kind of have to have a wide assortment of stuff.
This is my main cabinet - tire stuff on the top left, diluted Detailer Line chemicals on the rest of the top shelf, then waxes/sealants/protectants on the next shelf down, then leather/glass/interior trim stuff next, Mirror Glaze Pro line chemicals next, and finally shampoos and a few other assorted goodies on the bottom.
These bins hold most of my microfiber towels, foam buffing pads, hand pads, etc. You can't actually see all of it here as it extends further down (not sure if I'm proud or embarrassed at this point)
This is a collection of 4" buffer pads, pad brushes, and other little tools like laser temperature gauge (reading surface temps), paint thickness gauge, etc. This is an old and cheap rolling tool cabinet so in the big cabinet down below I've got some odd ball pads, towels, backing plates for buffers, etc.

Re: How do you organize your detail supplies?
These two shots are the upper and lower cabinet portions of the work bench at the front of the garage.
Up top are my paste waxes, clays, small detailing brushes, some Meguiar's "in development" stuff, as well as some competitors products I like to play with from time to time just to keep me honest. Oh yeah, and my collection of lanyards picked up at SEMA and elsewhere.
The bottom is mostly bulk chemicals from our Detailer Line, plus some microfiber towel overflow space. This is just the center area of the cabinet as I have other non detailing stuff in the rest of the space.
On top of all that (yeah, there's actually more, but no pix) I've got a stash of brushes that we no longer make - incredible brushes so it's a pity they're out of production - plus my 3 rotary buffers, 5 DA buffers and a single little 3" DA buffer. I keep one of the 5 regular DAs fitted with a backing plate for our DA Microfiber System, one with a carpet brush attachment, and the rest with standard backing plates for foam pads.
And no, I do NOT need to seek professional help.
