How do you store your polishing pads?

I thought maybe I\'ll by some bins and store them that way but do you guys separate them based on brand of polish used, car it was used on, etc.? Also please give me some ideas on how to store them, as in which storage compartment works best with the round pads. Thanks!

Mine are stored in clear bins for outside ID, stacked by color and size just for easy navigation.

Many people will say you have to keep 1 pad per product but thats a little unrealistic as far as some people's costs go. Cleaning them out well and you really shouldn't be able to tell what product was last used with them anyway.

Exceptions being LSP(wax/sealant) pads, they are kept separate from polishing gear for the obvious reason of not wanting cross contamination for 2 separate purposes

clear storage bins would work or even zip lock bags (label them)

Storage bins work well or an oversized zip lock bag like our DI Accessories Reclosable Storage Bag 24" x 24" work well. I also store my microfiber towels in a bag like this.
