It has been long time since I posted on my blog but I was busy with a new job and some other life changes. Anyways, Im glad that Im back to posting and today I wanted to show you my customized detailing cart. A detailing cart is an invaluable tool for any serious or not so serious detailer. It saves time and effort by putting everything within hand reach and that makes it great. I have taken few pictures to show you exactly what I did to a Husky multi-use cart that I bought from Home Depot to make it the detailing cart it is now.
Few things you need to think about when you are thinking detailing carts.
Safety
You have to think about what's going to happen if the cart ever slide and hit a car that you are working on! Now, if this happen to be your car, it will definitely by devastating to see a dent or a scratch caused by your own cart, but if it is a customer's car, now you have a PROBLEM! So you always have to pad the sides of the cart to prevent any damages if and when the cart slides toward your car or any valuable objects.
Utility
You have to make sure that the cart is ready to serve the purpose it's built for and that is to save time and effort. I personally added outside bins, also from Home Depot and I padded them also and I added a Surge protector on the side of the cart (See pictures below)
The bins are definitely extremely helpful since I have dedicated one bin for something, like one bin for the interior brushes, one bin for the painter's tape needed for polishing, one bin for the glass scrapers to take out any sticker residue or even bird poop. The surge protector has been proven to be invaluable because you only have to worry about one cord going to a power outlet and then every other equipment you can plug in to the surge protector next to you, so you don't have to keep walking back and forth every time you want to do something, like vacuuming, polishing, etc...
The cart took me less than 2 hours to put together once I figured what I needed to do. If you have any questions please comment below and will answer your questions ASAP.
Thanks for reading and watching.
