Ok, it's going to get cold pretty soon. I live in Colorado so we definitely get cold. What products are safe to be stored in the garage during winter and what aren't.

As a general rule now, I put all wax and polishes inside the house so they stay at room temperature (summer and winter).

What other products should I store inside and which ones are ok to keep in garage.

I believe these should be ok in garage year round:

CarPro Perl (mixed and full strength)
Klasse AIO?
ONR
CarPro Reload?

Thanks

I brought 90% of what I own inside. The other 10% was destroyed by freezing. Never looked the same after the Chicago winter.

Unless you have a heated garage, bring it in doors. It's a pain, but it will save you money.

Another one who brings it all inside. I have a Husky tool bag that I put what Ill need in then bring it to the garage when doing a car in winter.

Just to throw in...If you have ANY chance of the garage getting into the 40° and below, bring 'em inside.

That being said, if the 40ish is kinda the lowest temp you will see (in the garage) try and have your products against and interior wall.

But, still if you have ANY doubt or concern, just bring those puppies inside.

Geeze, I don't even want to think about winter yet.

It seems like it is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter in my garage. Accordingly, I keep everything inside year round. It is just easier that way.

I have 2 utility shelving units full of products, and was just about to make a thread asking this same question. I'm glad everyone is recommending taking things inside. It's October yet temperatures are actually getting down to 38 tonight! What the heck!!!? We will be back in the 50s / 60s in a day so is it worth bringing everything in just for a bit? And just when I got my garage looking all organized and clean with all my product :/
