    Optimum car wax a bit clumpy

    I just opened a gallon of unused Optimun Car Wax and its a bit clumpy . Has it gone bad?

    I shook it and didnt seem to help.

    Its new but been sitting in my storage shed probably a few months.

    Thanks!

    My best guess would be to empty some out of the gallon so it has more room to move around, then shake the living bejesus out of it for awhile and it should all start going back to the same consistancy

    dc, try putting on some kc and the sunshine band (you guessed it- shake your booty) and try shaking it again. then make an instructional video to post on the forum.

    Thanks for checking!

    You really only see it in the sunlight.

    Ive used it a couple times now and it seems Ok and behaving normally so far.
