Organizing (Space saving)

[tuscarora dave]

One of the things I have struggled with while detailing mobile is organization while performing the day's work. I found it easy in the rush of things to lose track of polishes, dressings and a big one for me is fumbling around looking for the right backing plate.

Here are a few things that I have done to save space and to simplify things a little.

I used to carry all this stuff with me plus the other necessary tools and accessories to detail a car.



I have found that not only were all these products taking up a lot of space but the heat of the summer months was taking it's toll on my products. Some of my polishes were thinning out like water due to the heat. First I would tackle the backing plate issue so I got one of these adapters for my DA polisher.



This way all I would have to carry would be these backing plates and two of them would be installed on the machines so really I would only need to have one extra backing plate in my goody bag.



Then I would kill two birds with one stone by getting these handy 8 ounce bottles and filling them with the amount of products needed to do the days production. So here I not only save space but in the event one of my polishes gets too hot and becomes runny it will only be the remainder of an 8 ounce bottle that is ruined instead of the remainder of a quart sized bottle.



Oh, I almost forgot about the edge 2000 pad system. This setup will also be a breeze to install on either polisher.



So instead of having a giant bag of stuff to carry around, all of my stuff will fit in this little bag. (excluding the buckets, towels, mitt, and machines)

Since going to a car show is somewhat similar to mobile detailing I started doing that years ago.
I don't take polish or a polisher but everything else and I use the small bottles and refill anything that I used before going to the next show.

I do not even carry the 16 to 20 ounce sprayers of QD I pour them into a much smaller bottle.

I always carry a couple kinds of Glaze because if I find a minor paint flaw at the show I can hide it and correct it when I get home.

Great post, Dave! Where did you find the BP adapter?

I keep all my products in the 8oz autogeek bottles. They take up less room and products will go bad in this florida heat. All larger bottles stay in the a/c and I refill what is needed for the truck in the morning.
