Hot Garage = Bad Product?
I don't think my landlord really has much ventilation in my garage where I store my various detailing products.
Can the heat in the garage (almost always hotter than outside) ruin any chemicals such as QD'ers (dry out or seprate and evaporate), Wheel cleaners, etc? So far I have seen where I put Meg's QD into a seperate plant sprayer bottle, that there is condensation inside it now.
Also, I don't know if the Klasse products might being something similar inside?
Thanks for help or suggestions

I've never lost any and my garage is 95-100 degrees in the summer and usually in the mid 80's for the remainder of the year. I've had some for years in that lovely environment and they still work as when new.

Muddy,
I’m sure someone will jump in with some scientific evidence to support not storing car care products in an extremely hot garage, but from experience I don’t leave much in terms of car supplies or wood working supplies in my garage in the summer (my work shop is in the garage).
I have two roof vents (one with a fan) and I’ve ruined way too many wood working products to chance ruining any of the products I plan on using on my car. I have a couple of plastic boxes that I use for storing my car supplies, including my MFs, and keep them all in the basement, hauling out what I need when I work on the car.

I could be wrong but I am gonna guess that AG's warehouse is not A/C. I think they should be fine as long as you put the tops on tight.

Extreme hot and cold temperatures can effect chemicals. In the summer I keep my detailing supplies in the house. In the south Florida winters there's not much to worry about.

I haven't had any problems with the heat. Winter I run a space heater in my garage 24/7.
