Detailing Supplies Cart!

Detailing Supplies Cart!
So I've had all my crap in piles for a while now. Then my wife told me I HAD to organize it all. The best I could figure out was some rubbermaid containers. Not perfect as you can see below.
I thought there has to be a better way. Plus it took me so much time to get everything ready to use, then find everything, UGH! When I saw one of those plastic utility carts being used at the mall, I thought one would be perfect! But, DAMN - $200, $300, $400 for a plain plastic cart?!?!?! I did find one online for $59, but after shipping a 50 pound box, it was still gonna be $90 and 10 - 12 days to get here!
I started hunting the Net for one... and low and behold - Northern Tool! Only $69.99! And there's a local N.T. in town! Total was $74.89 (and instant gradification!) And it even has a cup holder for my beer! :woot2:
So, if you're looking for a cart, here ya go!: Item# 143210 http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/w...9153_200319153
UNORGANIZED PILE OF DETAILING STUFF
BA-DA-BIG, BA-DA-BOOM! READY FOR ACTION!

2 are for wheels, one for tires, one for interior. Theyre perfectly safe for their given surface. (looks like meguiars brushes, same ones I use)

2 - Meguiar's Gold Class Versa-Angle Body Brush
3 - Meguiar's Gold Class Versa-Angle Tire Brush
4 - Meguiar's Gold Class Versa-Angle Wheel Face Brush, Long Handle
The nice thing about the Meg's brushes is that the short and long handles are interchangeable on all the brushes. #1 is great for cleaning the inside of the wheels. #2 works nicely on the car. It's SO very soft. The last two (#3, #4) I use on the face of the wheels and tires.

the Griot's cart is actually very balanced... wont tip over unless you got
the brakes on and bumped it with a fatass. yeh, mine's running the
Prokits so that's why it's so low. jk imho, it's a perfect height.
