Cold weather storage (products)
Looking for opinions on how good/safe it is to leave auto detailing products in a garage throughout the cold Canadian Winters?
For the most part, it's an uninsulated garage - but it's my workshop, and there's no air leaks or anything. It easily gets to -20 C (sometimes to -30) throughout the winter months... some days around 0, the next day, back to -20.
How good or safe is it to keep all types of detailing products stored in my cart/cabinets thorughout the winter?
Waxes/Polishes/QD etc....
Some might be alright, some might not be. What would you want to bring into the house if anything?

Lots of my products have to be kept 59-77 degrees F, and a few others say avoid extreme heat and cold. So I keep all my expensive stuff inside the house in a corner of the basement.

All my supplies are put into a bin in my electrical closet for the winter. It stays around 60 degrees there. I just don't want to lose any of my investment in goodies to the weather.

I'm in the prairies and thus bring everything inside.

As mentioned, a lot of my products say avoid freezing or high temp.

Same here. I move it all inside and keep a few favorites in a bag so on weekends when I heat the garage I can easily bring some products out with me. Winter stinks!

Re: Cold weather storage (products)
Because detailing has been a large investment for me, i spent $30 month in the winter months for climate controlled storage. Often times these storages dont require a year long commitment. My storage keeps everything at 70 degrees.
