I got some Ultimate Liquid Wax last spring and put it in a white squeeze bottle. I keep it in a cool dry place for the winter. I got it out to wax my daughters car. After shaking for a while i squeezed some wax out and it was separated(look like cottage cheese). This ever happen to anyone.

What the heck... Maybe it reacted with something in the bottle?

It looks like it has been frozen, call Meguiars Customer Service, they'll fix you up.

It kind of looks like wet cotton ball stands

Ouch! I have never experienced that and I have waxes and liquid waxes at least 1+ yrs old. IMO trash that one and get a new bottle. This might also be a great time to look at different brands.

I've had products do that. In my case it was rarely used stuff that was in my detached shop. I just assumed that it was temperature swings and age. I now keep all the products that use regularly in a closet in my laundry room to control temperature extremes.
I have also been told to shake products like this once a month when not being used. I do not know if there is any truth to this.

I have several brands of wax I was trying use up some the open bottles I have.
I don't think I will buy it again though .

The only time I have had products go bad was after transferring them to a different container. Especially when there is a lot of head space in the container.

Are you sure her name wasn't Sally?
