    seriously it depends, in my garage it gets about about 115 during the summer so my LSPs are generally inside, but everything eles is on shelves or in totebins

    On EZ Rect shelving in my shop. Gets up to about 90 in the summer but doesn't seem to affect anything. My expensive waxes go in my fridge. Most of them don't seem to be affected by the heat.

    Shelves in the basement. My basement leads up to my garage. Keeps everything cool.

    On shelves in the basement, detailing chemicals live next to the beer, wine and Scotch cache. It is in the high 50s/low 60s down there about nine months out of the year but gets up to 66 - 68F from late June through early September. I keep my towels, pads, brushes, and DA upstairs in the house (slightly lower humidity relative to the basement).

    I bought a wax fridge, but when it's 90F-100F in your garage at all times, it just doesn't make much sense. So I keep the LSPs in the house during the hot months. Everything else goes in my black and red Sears cabinet.

    I keep my machines, backing plates and misc. tools in the rolling tool bench drawers, and my products in the cabinet. MF towels are in the two MF condos on the right. The hanging cabinet is from our old kitchen when we remodeled it. Check Craigslist for people giving away or selling their old kitchen cabinets. Sometimes you find nice cabinets for super cheap, or free.

    that is a very nicely organized cabinet...

    although if i were to use the kitchen ones, the wife would go nuts and my supplies down the kitchen drain also...haha

    I use this to store and segregate my MF's accordingly:

    I keep most things in the house on glass shelves, the ground near my cabinets for the gallon sized jugs, and a couple rubbermaid roughnecks containers to hold products that I use more frequently than not for portability in and out of the house.

    I'm thinking of getting a couple of those storage towers for my mf, but always sketched about the idea that dust gets in them...
    i cant say my parents garage is the cleanest in the world..

    Currently using a wire rack I picked up from an auction at my work along with several plastic totes for pads and towels. I'm looking to reduce the size of my storage in the garage to free up space. I don't need or use a lot of the stuff on my shelves so there is no need for it to be there. I'll bring the rack home and put it in the basement and reduce the container sizes from gallons to 32oz bottles at the shop for all but my most used items. I also want to have the products enclosed and I'll likely pick up a 36" cabinet like the ones above...been eying a unit at Lowes.

    These pics are a few years old. ;)

    Plastic storage shelves from Home Depot in the garage. 2 plastic seal-able bins for microfibers. And the LSP's stay in my room because its way too hot in our garage.
