I've got an unopened bottle of Menzerna P091E that has been on my shelf for about 5 years. Anyone know of about the shelf-life?

Some say polishes in general have a self life of 3 to 5 though as long as the product was not in extreme cold or heat and stored at or near proper temperature then your good but give it a good shake then test the consisty and everything to see if it has bite if not just keep it and years later you can show the newer young world what you used as polish

Forgot to add that polish has been stored in an unheated garage, but I seriously doubt the temp has ever dropped below freezing. It does get down to upper 30s. I keep up with this since half the garage is a work shop where I spend alot of time.

Its alright, though just shake it up good look at the color, texture etc if you can find something with swirls and see if it will correct it(an inconspicuous spots is a good place too)

I thought I'd give it a try after I posted. Seems to be normal. Nothing has separated, goes on smooth, and buffs out like normal. Guess I'll use it. I'd read where some car care polishes and waxes have a shelf life of from 1 to 2 years, assuming no freezing.
Thanks

Tried it again today and doesn't appear to be a problem. Good stuff.
