Carpro Perl shelf life?

[rmcnamara]

I know carpro Perl has an expiration date on the bottom. Realistically what is the shelf life of the product.

[Eldorado2k]

I dunno but every single Carpro product on my shelf is “expired” yet still seems to work fine. Lol.
I’ve never seen a reason for concern.
[that includes Carpro Perl]

Mine’s gotta be several years old and I still use it. Works fine

Thanks for your answers. I’m gonna use up the rest before I buy more now.

The tag on the bottom is just some Korean requirement but for the most part it doesn't really expire when that date comes. It is cool to see when you order a product if it's fresh though. I recently ordered CQuartz UK and Gliss and both were made very late in 2019, had a 2020 seal on the box. Surprising to see they were made roughly when Covid-19 was ramping up fast in Asia and still made it here to the seller and then to my house while we're dealing with Covid-19 now. I was thinking the tag would show much older date of manufacturing.

Bumping this thread as I'm recently told this is an email from Avi about CARPRO Perl:


From: CarPro - Avi <carproavi@gmail.com>
Subject: Re: FW: CarPro expiration

Hi
From 2 months ago we stopped writing the expire date, only production for the ISO production standards. Any complain you get just forward to me the mail, I'll answer them..

Is that Avi's real email? A gmail account? is this really from him? not sure ...

I emailed CARPRO support on the same topic and received this answer:


the product will be fine to use as long as it has been stored properly and not exposed to extreme hot or cold temps and it still mixes when the product is shaken. CARPRO only puts the production date on the products now. Ceramic coatings are the only product we would recommend not using after expiration date (1 yr after production date)

Anyway, if anyone has a better story I'd love to hear it!

IME that statement is exactly correct. Mine is several years old but still mixes up well. Still looks great on the tires.
I'd recommend it to anyone and the only reason I plan to switch to Duragloss is just to try something new.

I used 2 year old Perl on this just a few weeks ago...came out fine with no issues
