Where should I store my "stash" of detailing products? More specifically... what temp? Can I store it in garage? basement? better in the laundry room? Barn? Under the Kitchen sink? Just a thought with fall/winter coming on.... this is an investment... you know!:hmmm:

If the temps drop to the freezing levels for any length of time, then I would bring them some place in the house, or in a place that is not that cold...Here in CA that`s not an issue but there has been some threads about this in the past, from people that live in cold parts of the country...its simple thing to insure that they will be OK in the spring....

also your up late:D

We have the 4 Seasons here in VA. So with Fall in the air, night temps will start to drop to just at freezing at night in the next few weeks and we will have frost on the ground in the am. Just wanted to know if maybe I should have everything in now as precaution before temps drop below 32... yup... was up late.... our teenage kids sometimes do that to us! Thanks!

the ideal range would be 50-75 degrees , but as long as you don`t freeze or leave them in direct sunlight for extended periods of time, you should be fine...it also wouldn`t hurt to give a shake to any opened products...;)

I am not looking forward to winter, but I bring mine inside and put them in the basement. Because I have had some freeze before and become useless.

I am thinking of putting the products in the kitchen, in the cabinets with glass doors, you know set them up nicely for display.

I wonder how long before the wife notices.

I think she would notice when she goes for the maple syrup :notme:

Your next product needs to look and smell like maple syrup...oh and be either a wax or polish.

Glad I got a heated garage I would hate to store mine in the house these shelves are 12 inch hard to see but most bottles are 4 deep except the gallons on the top shelf.
Metal cabinet at the right is full also :yay
