    some product went bad after a year

    Hey guys,

    Looking through the stuff I had, I found that these 5 products went bad. Seems like the liquid separated inside. the blackfire paint protection I think I may have saved it by shacking it for 30 minutes but would need to test it out.
    So the question is does most of the product go bad after a while if not shaken up every now and then? Or should I keep the product in a climate controlled place? I have everything outside under a carport. Or is it the change in temperature from hot to cold that ruins it?
    Thanks guys.

    shake, shake shake shake, it should meld back together. I have had things separate i shoo them for a period of time and went back to normal.
    Back to the full-time grind.

    No idea what your climate is like but it's not good to store products outside.

    OK so shacking them till my arms fall of. Got ya. the blackfire is getting better but the pinnacle water spot remover seems way too liquefied to get back. But i'll try.

    I store my products in my basement - even temps all year and average humidy I guess, and have had products last 5+ years with no probs. I think the heat is the problem in your area. Bring 'em inside and you should be fine.

    Like others have mentioned, shake them real good.

    Yes the hot & humid weather plays a huge factor on products going bad. You need to store them in climate controlled areas. Somewhere where the temperature doesn't fluctuate to much.

    I have had products going bad over the years but not many. Mother's Cleaner Wax was one. Can't think of an other one right now but I am sure I had other do it too. None of my Meguiar's products went bad so far, neither did my Optimum ones. A good thing too because I buy those by the gallon.

    The pinnacle glassworks w/ water spot remover will separate naturally within hours... it's not bad, ... one must shake it.
    I have a reminder on my iPhone to shake all my product once per month...

    Put a few clean nuts in the bottle - that will make shaking them more effective. Think of the little ball in rattle can spray paint.
