A container system for washing cars includes a base container, which may include wheels, rollers, etc., for mobility, which is structured to contain a cleaning solution during a car washing operation. A basket having a grate is positionable into the base container, and is structured to filter out particulate matter from the cleaning solution during a washing operation, and to provide a means for air circulation to one or more cleaning accessories stored thereon upon completion. A cover container is provided which is cooperatively structured with the base container to operatively engage one another in a closed configuration, for transport and storage, along with a plurality of cleaning accessories stored therein. The cover container may be utilized as a seat or step stool by the user during a car washing operation. At least one handle is provided and is structured to at least facilitate positioning of the container system.

1. A container system for use in washing a vehicle, comprising: a base container having a closed bottom end and an open top enda base handle attached to said base container via a handle mount,said base handle comprising at least one stop, said stop extending inwardly and engaging a portion of an open top end of said base container when said base handle is rotated downwards to said base container, thereby prohibiting movement of said base handle beyond an angle of rotation,a basket assembly structured and disposed to be removably positioned into said base container, said basket assembly comprising a base, an enclosed sidewall extending upwardly therefrom, terminating in an open upper end, a grate supported by said base, and a basket handle extending upwardly from said grate,said grate structured and disposed to substantially overlie upon, and in spatial relation to, said closed bottom end of said base container, said grate being structured to permit a free flow of liquid therethrough,a cover container having a closed upper end and an open lower end, wherein said open lower end of said cover container and said open top end of said base container are cooperatively structured and disposed to operatively engage one another in a closed configuration,said closed upper end and open lower end of said cover container dimensioned in sufficient spatial relation to one another to substantially enclose at least one item taller than said base container stored therein, when said cover container is disposed in an operative engagement with said base container, andsaid base handle structured to releasably lock said cover container to said base container in said closed configuration. 2. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said angle of rotation is approximately forty five degrees from the substantially perpendicular orientation relative to said open top end of said base container. 3. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said base handle comprises at least one lock member, said at least one lock member engaging at least one cover interlock of said cover container when said base handle is in a substantially perpendicular orientation relative to said closed bottom end of said base container, thereby releasably locking said cover container to said base container. 4. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said basket handle comprises at least one riser, at least one cross member with at least one angled end, and at least one hook. 5. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said base handle comprises a cross support, at least one riser and at least one hook. 6. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said cover container comprises a plurality of apertures structured to facilitate air flow and evaporation of fluids while said base container and said cover container are disposed in said closed configuration. 7. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said cover container comprises a height dimension that is at least 25% the height dimension of said base container. 8. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said cover container comprises a height dimension that is at least 50% the height dimension of said base container. 9. The system as recited in claim 1 wherein said cover container comprises a height dimension that is at least 75% the height dimension of said base container. 10. A container system for use in washing a vehicle, comprising: a base container having a closed bottom end and an open top end, said base container structured to at least temporarily contain an amount of a cleaning solution,a base handle attached to said base container via a handle mount,said base handle comprising at least one stop, said stop extending inwardly and engaging a portion of said open top end of said base container when said base handle is rotated downwards to said base container, thereby prohibiting movement of said base handle beyond an angle of rotation,a basket assembly structured and disposed to be removably positioned into said base container,said basket assembly comprising a base, an enclosed sidewall extending upwardly therefrom, terminating in an open upper end, a grate supported by said base, and a basket handle extending upwardly from said grate,said grate structured and disposed to substantially overlie upon, and in spatial relation to, said closed bottom end of said base container, said grate being structured to permit a free flow of liquid therethrough,a cover container having a closed upper end and an open lower end, wherein said open lower end of said cover container and said open top end of said base container are cooperatively structured and disposed to operatively engage one another in a closed configuration,said cover container comprising at least one cover interlock structured and positioned so as to receive at least one lock member of said base handle, when said base handle is in a substantially perpendicular orientation and when said cover container and said base container are disposed in said close configuration, andsaid cover container comprising a height dimension that is at least 25% the height dimension of said base container.
