Deyon Blake has been building out his garage in Shepparton, Victoria over several years, documenting the process along the way on the Garage Journal forum and his DFB's Garage YouTube channel. This time, he's sharing his thoughts on the cabinets he uses for detailing.
"While there are plenty of storage and organisation solutions on the market, it's hard to go past the Maxim line of roll cabinets for their special blend of quality, value and versatility."
The 6 Drawer Roll Cabinet
For detailing work specifically, Deyon's pick is the Maxim HD 6 Drawer Roll Cabinet, a unit built to move with him around the workspace rather than stay fixed in one spot.
"For the car detailers out there, the Maxim HD 6 Drawer Roll Cabinet provides plenty of storage potential as well as being able to follow you around your workspace.
I've been using this roll cabinet for many years now, the large bottom drawer houses an array of large detailing brushes, while the 5 smaller drawers provide a home for smaller brushes, applicators, clay bars, polishing tools, masking tape and more.
The drawers glide smoothly and can be removed for cleaning should the need arise. The lacquered hardwood timber top provides a sizable and solid surface to work from."
Adding the 4 Drawer Benchtop Chest
For extra capacity, Deyon pairs the roll cabinet with the Maxim HD 4 Drawer Benchtop Chest, which sits on top and can be purchased separately or as a combo.
"For those needing more space, you can add the Maxim HD 4 Drawer Benchtop Chest, which can be bought separately or as a combo. This unit provides an additional 4 drawers and an opening lid that reveals an extra storage compartment.
Again I have used this to house detailing related items and tool manuals."
The verdict
"I've found the Maxim HD cabinets to be a highly valuable addition to my garage workshop and can easily recommend them to anyone."
