2012CC6.2 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 When the wifey asks why you need to buy another cabinet for the garage ????????♂️ I now have an overflow cabinet to put all of my small stuff in. I have another one full of gallons. Please tell me I'm not the only one with this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakerodz7 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Between my gallons, my 16/32 oz bottles, my towels, my wash media, buckets, 2 foam guns, foam cannon, swirl killer, DI water for premix I have occupied 2 of the Costco shelves that have 5 inserts which are all packed front to back. You are not alone! falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane@detailedreflections Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 No such thing as too many supplies. This is some of what we have on hand. It doesn't show the polishers, pads, towels, brushes and coatings drawers! Love seeing full collections of people who care about their cars. jakerodz7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane@detailedreflections Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 And suddenly I feel my collection is tiny and not worthy. That is an amazing collection! Thank you. It took a long time to build up the collection, and it still grows. I just ordered some different tire products from another supplier to try out. I used to order in gallon sizes and recently started ordering in 5 gallon sizes as volume has been picking up a little bit and it keeps my costs down while allowing me to use premium quality products. I'm afraid to run the report on the bills the past few months. The rest of the equipment is all tucked away...steamer, MBR, extractor, etc. From what I read it doesn't sound as though you have a bad collection going on yourself! jakerodz7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man you know business is going well if you have to step up from gallons to 5 gallons. I myself was planning on ordering 5 gallons of car shampoo and APC but I have been using less and less CWS since I am moving more and more towards rinseless. I have been looking at getting a steamer for myself, especially because my car has Alcantara seats that I unfortunately didn't take the best care of until recently. Any you recommend for just weekend warrior use? My collection is definitely more than enough for my weekend warrior needs. I can't complain about it at all. Thank you! shane@detailedreflections 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd actually recommend the same one that I use. I have a McCollugh MC1385. They're about $200 with a bunch of attachments and endless uses around the house and shop. I'll be honest and say I don't use it on every detail, but I do use it enough to justify the expense. It's a great investment. And business has been okay. Just trying to make smarter purchasing decisions and to not order as frequently so I don't give too much cost up to freight. The added bonus of cheaper per gallon is the biggest benefit though. jakerodz7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The added bonus of cheaper per gallon is the biggest benefit though. I will have to look into it. I would prefer to get a better one that is more expensive but will last me much longer than one that will only last me so long and won't perform as well. Thanks for the suggestion! I could totally understand that, and yes buying by gallons or 5 gallons more so will get you the best savings and bang for your buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane@detailedreflections Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Don't underestimate the quality and performance of the MC1385. Anyone who knows me knows I'm not one to skimp on my equipment (I went as far as putting a lift in the shop for detailing/maintenance purposes). You'll find a fair number of us here on the board use that very steamer and have great results with it. Give it a search on the forum here and you'll find lots of references to it. I have zero concern about the reliability and longevity of that product. It's a great bang for the buck product. jakerodz7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mathews31 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 At least it's organized for now lol!!! Where did you get those lights and what do you think of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2012CC6.2 Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 I bought them at lowes and they are great. I place them on my detail cart which I have hooked up with a power strip and shine them on panels as I work them. Works perfectly!
