Default Detailing Carrying Tray

Chemical Guys' carrying tray caught my eye and I was wondering what kind of carrying trays some of you guys/gals use. I was thinking of picking one or two up for my mobile details since putting them in and taking them out of my buckets wastes too much time. Anyway, I haven't quite decided if I'm going to buy trays for certain but I'd sure like to hear what everyone uses.

For reference, here's the CG carrying tray:

I used to use these but found that the clear Rubbermaid bins worked better. I can put even my tall trigger sprayers in them and the lids still shut so I can stack them. Plus it looks alot more organized.

Here you go. By keeping everything in bins, it allows me to keep everything in my van nice and neat and if I have to work in a warehouse or something, I can just grab the appropriate bin and go. These should be available at Walmart etc. Hope this helps.

I agree, it's better to have things in bins. I picked up a bunch of bins at Canadian Tire, they were having a sale on the bins and picked up a bunch of them. Wife loves using bins for the Christmas stuff too

Like 911 said it's easy to grab a bin or two and go do a job, tha's what I do when I get a call saying that a fire truck is waiting for me

It also stops you from being TKO'd by a 1Litre bottle if you have to hit the brakes. Getting hit with a MF towel isn't so bad. A 1 Litre bottle, not so much.
