Shelf life of carnauba wax?

[scstryder]

I have Souveran, Max Wax, NR, and NB and was wondering what the shelf life is of carnauba wax. I'm only a weekend warrior and I've only got a chance to use my NB so far.

If you keep them sealed in a cool, dry, dark place, you should be fine for many years.

I had a tin of Mothers Cali Gold Carnauba that was somewhere around 10 years old and I just used it up (it was fine). I had a small amount of Trade Secret left in a jar that was about 5 years old, and it was all dried up... had to throw it out.

Both were stored in the same place in my basement... cool and dark, but not exactly the driest place. So, you never know.

Sweet, thanks. Now on to my search for my next wax.:D

I have heard three years + when sealed and kept cool. I have never had any go bad yet ! (knocking on wood)
