I reorganized all of my chemicals today and have them sorted by brand. It looks pretty, but I think my old way of sorting by type of product (polish, swirl remover, sealant, etc.) makes more sense.



How does everyone else have their products organized?
 
I have nothing but a big 36x36" shelf that I have to share as a laundry table. The basement is full of boxes and crap so there is no room for another shelf even if I wanted to get one (or more).

So all of my stuff just gets stacked in a big mess of bottles/jars. When I transfer in August, I'm moving out so I'll have my own basement. Although I'll probably keep all of my stuff in the living room or something. :)

I have 4 shelves in a closet in my computer room...filled with supplies....before everything was in storage containers after I moved it in for the winter.
 
When I'm strolling around the house with nothing to do, I'll organize by brand because it looks good. :o



But when it's time to get to business, they're sorted by product type and the order in which I use them.



OCD runs in the family. :D
 
All the polishes and LSPs are organized by abrasive level in a portable basket. but I generally ue my 3 oz bottles I have for each. The cleaners,QDs and dressings are grouped together according to category on a shelve and stuff like mfs, appicatorsd and pads are in two rolling plastic Sterilite cabinets I got from target
 
^ that's pretty much how I do it. But I keep them in sterilite containers on the shelves, and I've so much stuff sometimes I have to organize them by "how can I get all this stuff to fit in here?"

Yeah, same here, so I also have them sorted by location/storage method as to how frequently I use them. The stuff I use all the time is on the sheof in the shop, the refills/extras and the seldom-used stuff is on shelves in the garage office's closet, and the stuff I simply don't throw away is also in the closet but in banker's boxes.



And the spare cases of Collinite and #16 are in a basement closet in the house that maintains a constant temperature year-round. Sorta my version of a wine cellar, the Moet and Taittinger are in there too :D
 
I kinda do it like my sock drawer. Style, color, use, etc. Then they find their own way to unorganization. Same with the chemicals. They get shaped up, but eventually look like we had a game of "musical" detailing.

By type, but by brand within types.

Ditto -- I have a hutch with three shelves on top of a three drawer unit. The supplies go on the hutch (or on top of the drawers), and the MFs, pads and other stuff (tire pressure gauge, etc.) go in the drawers.
 
LOL - I have a great big box full of 2 ounce bottles in no order whatsoever. And amongst all that I have my clay in a wax style tub, waxes, spray bottles and a few applicators. I have a second box which is a bit more organised with my PC, pads and towels. Seems like I am the only person to fess up to being a disorganised slob with their detailing stuff! :p





Well at least my car is clean.........:)
