My Homemade/repurposed Detailing Cart

Thought I'd post up some pics of a detailing supplies cart I just put together. The reason I did this little project is because when I'm working on a vehicle, I'm always setting pads or products or buffing towels all over the garage (or on the vehicle itself), and then when I need them again, I had to hunt all over to track them down. I found I was doing a lot of tiring and time-wasting walking around looking for my supplies.

So, I bought a used parts cart ($30) and some towel bars, threaded rod and misc. hardware from a big box store and put together this detailing cart. It wasn't meant to hold all my stuff, just the things I use frequently: My D/A buffer, favorite compounds, polishes, LSPs, pads, spray bottles and so forth. Didn't take long to assemble and so far, it's fulfilling it's purpose. Will make additional improvements as needed.

Jim

Nice! I see the coffee cup but didn't see any cold beer!

The cart is really neat.

The beer comes after the detailing Boydie, otherwise you'll leave swirl marks in the paint.

Great project man - I wish I had room for something like that. Looks like you are as bad as I am with all the spray bottles. LOL

Nicely done.

I have a 5 gallon bucket filled with all the goodies I use. Take them out and fill the bucket with my water.
