Keep your chems in a stable temp environment. Not too hot in the summer, not too cold in the winter ;)
And FYI water freezes at 32F. Meguiars stuff seems to separate (irreversably) at around 40 degrees. In my detailing cabinet I have a digital thermometer with a low/high temp memory. I`ve had several things separate above 36 (my lowest recorded temp). I guess it doesn`t get that cold where Meguiars is.... I just bring stuff inside now.

if you can, bring your products indoors if the temperatures are too hot or cold. not worth them going bad and having to spend more money...

Detailing sprays more than any other product have a relatively high water content so I would think that yes they could freeze. (although the various chemicals used in them could alter the freeze point in either direction slightly).

Since almost every product has some sort or moisture content or hygroscopic properties, you don`t want any of them to freeze. This will break the chemical properties of the product and have an effect on the product.
I never let any of it get close to freezing temps ... anymore :chuckle:.
A long time ago I got a delivery of products and dropped it in the trunk. Forgot all about it and it sat there for a long weekend with freezing temps. When we opened the packaging - not only had some of the containers split open, then leaked all over, but the ones that hadn`t blown open, just separated in the bottles. :sosad
Expensive lesson learned. So boyz & girlz - don`t let this happen to you! :p
