When I used to hire people that made a living with tools, the first thing I would do is ask to see how they stored their equipment. If it was organized and showed that they cared for the tools with which they made their living, I would continue with the interview. If not I wouldn't waste my time.
Take care of your equipment and it will take care of you in that you will be able to do a good job and hopefully make a good living.
Informative video 👍
100% right i have had my fair share of talented people work for me that did not last very long because they were their own worst enemy with bad work ethics, sloppiness etc. When i walk into any shop and see it upside down i question the quality of service they put out and this goes for any type of service business.
Love your organizing! I also have the label maker & use it for so many things like items for sewing, scrapbooking, school stuff , kitchen stuff, my office at home. I get so much use out of this, I should carry it around in my cleaning apron! You are right on here! Thank you for giving me ideas for labeling other stuff.
One word buddy.......................WOW. Those container ideas are fantastic. Fortunately I have a Container Store fairly local to my location so I will definitely be making a trip there and doing something similar to this. I have the larger "bins" which I keep everything in, but I like your idea, especially the round containers for all the polishing pads and keeping them both organized and isolated from other pads. Great idea here.
Your pad containers are great!!
I've organized my detail supplies/etc in pretty much the same way - been doing it for years. :)
good job, i have for years but always had bad containers that would crack over time these i show in this video are made from a very flexible material and they work just perfect.
Good video. I basically do exactly what you do. I love my label maker. Great tool. Organization is key.
Must be great to be organized like that!!
do it youll love it
Looks great, I have that same cabinet, and I thought mine looked good.. not even close. BTW nice car I’m a GT350 owner too
For those people who don’t have a container store near them, it might be helpful to list the container size. All the containers on the site can be ordered in small, large and round shapes with different oz sizes in each group.
Thanks for the videos.
Mike the reason i did not post is when you buy these they have a white part number and SKU sticker which i immediately removed, the numbers cast into the containers will not pull up in the search que on the Container Store website i tried that after I shot this video which means the Container Store must have their own unique inventory system for this stuff. I am sure someone will post the SKU soon in the comments.
Auto Fanatic Do containers have a ounce size listed on them?
That is an excellent idea Auto Fanatic!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice. Good scotch tape over labels helps keep them in shape.
PPF😁
Could you make a video on your thoughts about PH neutral soaps. I’ve seen several videos of people saying they don’t remove oils, fluids, etc that stick to your paint which means washing and waxing is not protecting. If you use a high PH soap to remove the contaminates you remove the wax. Confused.
It's beautiful!
What oz are the round plastic container. Thats holding the polisher pads
Oh yes I have one in Bridgewater New Jersey great store
I'm pretty organized, but I don't go this far, 2 totes and a lot of gallon zip locks. One night I priced out and calculated the cost just in chemicals and pads/towels etc, the price came out to $1800. My kit, $350. I'm not spending $1800, you guys are crazy, I still get great results.
Nice Shelby!!!
Thank you!! 😁
Cross contamination with the buffing pads together. Learned that the hard way
not if they are cleaned and stored properly i have so many of those round containers for used pads, new pads etc i just displayed what would fit on the table for the video.
Awesome vid thank you bro do you use the blue microfiber applicator again for tar removal or do you use then chuck them out
i keep them until they get trashed but the big blue ones i use last a while and you can clean them out and reuse them
Auto Fanatic ah great do you have a link for the blue ones please ?
Someone said on my winter damage vid that if you see it, you'll come to my house with detailing equipment. Lol. How do you avoid salt/ rock chip damage on your rear quarter panels? Mine got literally destroyed so far this winter and you and i drive the same roads. 😐
Hey cant avoid those damages unless you get the custom front splash guards i have up front that helps a ton, your going to get chips no matter what but they are easy to fix. maybe when it warms up il do it for you for a video if i have time one day.
They don't appear to sell the larger rectangular one, where you keep your glass towels, That's the one I was looking to get for my drying towel but I've been to 2 stores now and neither have them nor are they on the website. I believe they are the 3.2L model and I don't think the other taller but not as deep/wide will work so well for more than 1 towel but maybe!
Scott try Zoro.com they sell so many awesome containers on their site but make sure you read the measurements before ordering so you get exactly what you need.
Ohhh the container store 🤣. Jk great video love the content!
Great ideas! I use zip lock bags, not anymore. Thanks!
Great organization tips!
SIDEBAR: Who makes the polishing pads with the recessed back? Where do you get them?
my pads are from Griots Boss, Meguairs, Flex and Lack Country.
Great video!! I Need to get some of those Containers and the label Maker are the refill Stickers cost a lot??...
refill for the labels is cheap on Amazon and mine last a long time, i pretty much did my entire garage and im still using the same sticker cartridge
@@autofanaticcars Great , I'll Check them out!!😊
Organized people = Successful people
good thinking
Great tips! I’ve been slowly building up my detailing supplies for my GT350 and I now have a pile of various microfiber towels and PFMs that I need to organize. Guess I’m heading to the container store tomorrow after washing the car!
Also, love the AF wheel cleaner. With a little help from my wheel woolies it’s keeping my wheels and exhaust tips looking great!
thanks for sharing your feedback Dave.
When will you have the wheel cleaner back in stock?
Spring time we should be ready to roll more out for you guys.
BPA Free is the way to go. Apparently the chemicals can leak into your skin from handling plastics with BPA. I changed all my food containers at home to BPA free plastics last year.
How do you wash the towels? And do you wash them all together or separately?
I cant seem to find the round containers on their website. Does anyone have a product number? Awesome vid!
part numbers are tricky with these i suggest to visit a local container store if you can and bring some of your towels and pads to see how they fit thats exactly what I did
@@autofanaticcars hope all is well. I can’t find these round containers to save my life. Anyway to get a pic or a number off the container or lid?? Thank you!
i try my best to keep things as organized as possible but i have to admit that after a detail/wash i dont want to store anything because they are still moist or dirty and have to be cleaned or whatever. just dont want to contaminate new pads/towels with used ones
thats why i have used towel bins as well just to keep them all in one spot prior to washing or changing duty, i hand dry most and my pads sit on flat rack to air dry after i wash them before putting back in the bins. you never want to air seal a towel or pad wet it will smell funky real quick next time you go use it.
When’s the wheel cleaning foam going to be available again? How do I get some in the UK? Thanks.
few months UK just email direct your order we sold a ton of product to the UK already.
Auto Fanatic ok cool. It’s just when I go to calculate shipping UK isn’t on the list. 🤷♂️
Typically how many pads per step do you use for compounding or polishing?
it really depends on the car, on a well maintained car i usually use 4-6 pads on a bad car that needs serious correction maybe double
I bough mine at walgreens, they are Rubbermaid. What you use to keep bottles/gallons organized?
wall racks check my channel for the videos they work awesome
Which da polisher better, recommend? Is it a rupes or griots garage G15 system?
the advantage to the Griots system is you can buy the polisher and all stuff in a kit, you can try it and if you do not like it they will take it back, no other company who sells these items will do that FYI. They are all good brands.
Aren’t you worried about moisture in the containers for pads/applicators?
i never store them wet always air dry, fold and put away in designated bins. lots of guys throw towels and mitts in a single bucket and it makes it messy and unorganized.
Ya but like wax applicators and pads you don’t really clean and dry. Just leave the old wax on. I feel like even when I think my pads are dry they still have some moisture in them. I’ll have to try it out.
I know this is old, but for others, I put 3 to 5 holes in mine. I use similar containers. For regular pads I put 2 holes in the sides near the bottom on opposing sides and one hole in the center of the lid, for wax, same thing except 4 holes 2 near bottom 2 mid section on the sides and one in the lid. All holes 1/8th drill bit. That way they breath well without being too exposed.
Nice
Oh yes
What is the model for Container store?
i mentioned the name in the video they do not list them by name on the website but only by a SKU which i do not have. You need to visit a local store and find these, they are the only ones made in Japan thats how you can spot them out.
Auto Fanatic I do apologize I missed it and went back and saw you showed the lid. Thank you!
Wish I can be like that lol
OCD is a plus in this hobby
