Setting up the ideal home detailing garage

[TheStandardDetailing]

Would love to see some pictures of everyone's garage and how they have it set up. I just bought my first house and have a standard 2 car garage and want to get it set up ideally for detailing. Show off your garages and post some pics!

So for "Fathers Day" I will be getting some additional lighting for my garage. I think I am going to order the below 2 fixtures to start and add an additional 2 later. What I do not know about is the type of bulb. I want the daylight feel so I am not sure if the highest "K" number is the best. It appears to range from 3000-6150K's. I know the larger the number the brighter the bulb, but I know it might not necessarily show all the colors as true as they are. What do you guys use in your spaces?

I put 6 of these in my 2 wide 2 deep garage and I could tan in my garage at night

And I like how you've got them up higher than the bucket caddies. I'd love to see Adams come out with something like this. I love it! Nicely done.

 

More pics please!

 

Same here. 

 

That's always been one of my biggest gripes with detailing carts, they're too low IMO.

 

It's the first thing I look at when I'm thinking about a detailing cart, the overall height.

 

I'm 6'4'' and the less I have to bend over while detailing, the better. I've always wanted to see a 48" detailing cart come out, something easier on the back. 

 

I love that idea of cutting holes into the cart for wash and rinse bucket. Only thing I could see even better, would be to drill holes along side the big holes so that splashed water would drain down.

I have thought about doing that. At the moment I just towel it dry and hose it down when needed. I also thought about putting a drain in the bottom of the buckets so I wouldn't have to lift the full buckets out.

Here's mine. Ignore the detailing area products. I'm about half Adams now as I use and replace  .

I know for LED's the daylight bulbs are 5000 K.

 

5000k is still a bit on the blue side of things. 4300-4500 K seems to be the closest I have seen to daylight. Any warmer (lower number) and you start to get yellow, and any higher it tends to go blue.

Wall mount garage door opener might give you a bit more room for ceiling storage. Nice place, Edited June 25, 2015 by GXPaycheck

OK, since I got grief for the pics of the old products in my detailing corner I'm adding an updated view.
