Default Storage of detailing supplies?

I have a question for you guys. I am getting more in detailing and I am now collecting a large supply of microfiber towels. I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas on how to best store the towels and keep them organized. I have glass cleaning ones and then the one that I use with quick detailer. Also a few that I remove different wax or polish off with (One for each product). To make sure I dont mix them up what is the best way to store them? I have the cleaning supplies in a big rubbermaid bin right now. I am sure you guys have some good ideas!!

Thanks!!!

I put my towels in something similar to this.

I also want to find a way to even further organize them.. I already have a big metal cabinet for my supplies!

Hmmmm....that is not bad! I even have a gift card to Staples at home. Do they usually have those available in store?

+1 on the rubbermaid drawers. That's on my list of things to buy as well.

I have different colored microfiber towels for specific jobs. I organize them in stacks on my metal shelving.

we had a post from a member with a really nice sears cabinet...
not expensive and great for organizing.
mine are built in to the garage and then some overflow drawers in the garage-

maybe the sears guy will hit this thread and give us that link- am not finding it.

I have Gladiator Garage Works pieces that hold most of my garage stuff. Its a bit on the high end for retail but its high quality product with magnetic doors and locks. I have a 6foot welded double door cabinet and a smaller modular gear box on casters. The cabinet is great for holding everything in general.....and the welded box prevents anything from getting in or out (dust, bugs etc). The gear drawer is perfect for all my rags and what not as i can slid it around with me as im detailing. also has an optional work surface on the top.

The Sam's club in my area has a very nice tall stainless steel cabinet that would do the job perfectly. I can't find it on their website, but I think it retails for less than $200. I would've bought one myself, but it's too tall to fit under my storage space in the garage. I had to settle for the smaller version of the same thing, which is now overflowing with supplies...
