    Definitely don’t store them on their side. Gladiator makes some nice cabinets for this

    This is the one I use for most of it. I have a handheld one for odd angles if I cant get it with any of the adapters.

    I'd have to sell all my detailing stuff to buy enough bottle holders to hold my detailing bottles. Lol.

    I should downsize.

    My truck is a 2016 and the wife's is a 2020. Do you think it's worth doing the underdog pro on both vehicles or just the wife's because it's newer?

    Plus any tips and/or advice when applying @ToyoMafia

    I would do both. I did my 07 FJ. The paint is failing in some spots so it needs a respray but it’s kept the good paint in shape.

    UDP is very easy to apply. I would do all surfaces with it. I don’t do the glass or wheels because I find it a waste of time and money. Honestly rainx on the windows is hard to beat.

    make sure you give it time to cure and prep accordingly.

    if you want any direct advice while going through it and me a PM and I’ll give you my cell.

    Thanks my friend.

    Obviously do a good detailing with paint correction prior too correct? And how much did you use for both vehicles?

    I have wooden shelves build in to the back wall of the garage. Cleared one off to make room for all the supplies. What do you store your millions if micro fiber towels/application pads in?

    If you did glass, there’s other stuff for it that I recommend and is stupid simple to apply. If you were to do wheels, I would take them off to apply

    I use rain x on the glass. The wheels are fine I think.
