What is the shelf life of Natty`s Blue paste wax?



I have had my bottle for four years now. Is that too long to expect to still retain its properties. Or is carnauba wax a pure enough substance that shelf life is infinte.



By the way, it has been stored in the garage and it gets pretty cold here in Colorado.



Thanks

I have had Nattys Original for atleast 5 years, i take a swipe every now then and then, its fine.



It can tend to crumble, if that happens just float the tub in some boiling water and it will all melt down in to flat layer again.

Actually the texture of the wax is fine. It still goes on smooth and dries to a paste. Just wondering how if it won`t protect as well anymore

I have a small tin of Blue and it shrunk to 1/2 its size in a short period of time. I`ve never had any other wax do that.

I have some Mother`s carnauba paste for 14 years that still works.

What about polishes. I have a few bottles of Poorboys SSR polishes also from four years ago

never had issues with polishes going bad. Just make sure to give em a shake every now and then to keep them from fully seperating and you shouldn`t have any issues.

6 years on my container of Natty`s Blue. It`s broke into pieces but it`s still good.
