It would be nice if more manufacturers offered 4 or 8oz bottles.
Menzerna, 3D, Sonax and I'm sure others offer 8oz bottles.

I’m the opposite... Even products that I never thought I’d ever use up seem to somehow get used.
For example I honestly thought this gallon concentrate of D120 Glass Cleaner could last me a lifetime, but it’s nearly done.
Gallon of Hyper Wash... Used it up fairly quick.
Half gallon of PRC gone even though I haven’t used it in forever and I’m not even a fan of AIO’s.

Re: Polish Age
Your right, D120 Glass Cleaner should last a very long time, but not with someone that is OCD. LOL!

Re: Polish Age
Well I got part of my answer yesterday...
It was a nice-ish day and I had the itch so I went out to do a little work on the S2000. I wanted to use HD Speed. I noticed the consistency was thick and very slight cottage cheese texture but nothing was separated so I went ahead. The first section went OK but by the second section it was leaving a thick almost rubbery residue on the paint that was very hard to remove. I switched to my even older bottle of Menzerna SF4500 and after I got a few chunks out of the cap/spout it was a nearly perfect consistency. I threw away the remaining HD Speed.

While I mentioned earlier I try to stay with small quantities, for me that philosophy really only applies to things like sealants, coatings, polishes, QD's ect. When it comes to car wash shampoo and wheel cleaner I'll go with gallons. I use those products far more often and will easily go through a gallon in a year or two...maybe less depending on weather and how much time I have to do washes.

Good to know.
If Speed is hard to remove, it has definitely gone bad.

Speed is an AIO which includes a synthetic wax... seems that it "went bad" simply due to the fact that the wax cured due to age. Menzerna SF4500 of SF1500 are polishes - no comparison to Speed - apples and oranges. I've had a few Menzerna polishes for 4+ years and they still hold up well on the shelf. I shake the bottles 1-2x per year.
