    Mobile Detailers, Storing Supplies?

    Tried searching and didn't see much on the discussion as far as mobile detailers. For those of you with fully setup vehicles or trailer rigs, what do you do about your chemicals/waxes/etc. supplies as far as the weather? Hot in the summer and cold in the winter? I'm sure you could bring in allllllllllllllll your supplies in nightly as annoying as that would be, but I'm sure you're going to still encounter high or low temps when you're out and about during the day so what then?

    During the summer/spring/fall I don't worry about it. Keep it in the garage or vehicle. During the winter I bring supplies inside nightly to keep from freezing.

    So is there really not an issue with high temperatures effecting stuff? Pretty much don't let it freeze and anything else it doesn't matter?

    Everyone has their own opinion, but I've never personally had a problem with products getting hot.

    I've seen your posts before, but I can't recall do you have a full blown trailer setup or van? Wonder if that impacts protecting from the heat/cold better.

    Do you cover Madison County, IL?

    I have everything in my car and simply park in the garage when it's gonna be below 35 at night. My garage easily stays 20-40 warmer outside since only the main garage door is exposed to the elements. If your garage doesn't stay above freezing, might want to invest in some sort of heating device for the winter.

    You really have nothing to worry about, I leave all my stuff out in the van. As long as you shake up the products you plan on using really good, then you should have no problems

    Full blown trailer, but I mostly just stick everything in the back of my truck. I have a detached garage I store everything in.
