View Full Version : Product Shelf Life/Storage Temperature??

I am starting to get quite a collection of products. In fact I had to recently go to Walmart and buy a 4 tiered storage shelf (24"x40") to put in my washroom just for my AG stuff. I see what Mike means about men collecting wax like women collect shoes ( I recently got the Max Wax BOGO as well as the Souveran VIP). Any way I would like to know if there is a shelf life and best storage temperature of the following:


Max Wax
Pin Souveran paste wax
Wolfgang leather conditioner
Pinnacle leather cleaner
DP waterless auto wash
Pinnacle Paint Cleansing Lotion
Swirl X
Scratch X
Wolfgang HGPS 3.0 sealant
ONR
FK-425
DP Auto bath shampoo
Dp Final Gloss
DP Interior surface protectent
Black Again

I know this is a lot to ask, but I find it to be a better deal to buy in bulk and as such, have done so. You don't need to comment on each item. I don't mind if you summerize or red flag an item that I may need to be concerned about storage life or temperature.

Thank you,

Tad

Can't help you on shelf life but I always bring my stuff into the house for the winter since here in Michigan it gets pretty cold and I don't want stuff to freeze.

the winter gets really cold here, and right about this time of year I move everything from the garage to inside the house. I think I have read on here that certain products will break apart... but don't quote me on that.

I also put the products Iuse the most in smaller detail bottles so I can have easier access to them, and fill them up as necessary. This makes it easier for me as my products end up at the back of the closet lol.

I keep all of my products inside the house. I also noticed some of my products would start to seperate after a little while. I shake all of my polishes and liquid products every other week or so to keep them from being seperated too long.

Use a vacuum sealer to remove the Oh-2. No O2 means no oxidation/hardening of the product.

I have a full-size sealer, but recently purchased this new hand held rechargeable model, as it uses re-useable ziplock bags that have a built in one-way valve. $30+shipping.

The ziplocks are great for products you will be using again soon. I use the "full size" vacuum sealer for items that will not be needed for a long time (like the second container of wax from a BOGO special).

Vacuum sealing will absolutely prolong shelf life.
