    Winter is coming, what can I leave in the garage

    So winter is coming and I don`t have access to a heated garage. Here are some products I have and I wonder if I can leave them in my garage over winter or if extreme cold will mess them up. Some like the Klasse twins are a little pricey, so, it would suck to ruin them because they froze.

    I`ve already brought my little pot of touch up paint inside. Which other of these products can I absolutely not leave in my non heated garage during winter?

    -tyre dressing
    -quick detailer
    -clay lube, clay bar
    -paste wax
    -compounds and polishes
    -trim restorer/conditioner
    -IPA
    -car soap/shampoo

    Thanks for your suggestions!

    Re: Winter is coming, what can I leave in the garage

    I pull all of my detailing products out of my garage and down into my basement. I have had to many products ruining because of freezing. With the temps set to fall by the end of the week I plan on pulling stuff down starting today. I will probably get my last bucket wash in tomorrow.

    Remove them all. I did this a few weeks back. Better safe than sorry. I just keep the products i need in the house for washes/interiors on thoes nice days. All my other stuff is in a heated basement.

    Re: Winter is coming, what can I leave in the garage

    Nothing should stay in the garage during the winter other than your hard goods (MF towels, mitts, polishing pads, etc). If you have the space, I would recommend keeping everything inside year round. Heat and humidity can be as bad for your liquids as freezing temps. The only thing I keep in the garage in the summer is my DG902 (rinseless wash stays inside year round).

    I am jumping on the wagon as well. Everything inside but your towels, pads & such. I didn`t do this last year, cold came too quick, & lost a few products. It is under the house this year tho. To much good stuff to loose this year.

    My garage is attached and insulated and stays above freezing but I still move everything to the basement for winter storage.
