Shelf Life for SSR2?

**Dre18** · 11-02-2008, 11:47 AM

I bought some SSR 2 a few years back and haven`t used it for some time. I have been using SSR 2.5 instead with great results. I noticed when I opened the SSR2 it did not have a pleasent fragance like your other products. The best way I can descibe the smell is like fresh dirt?

Do you think it is still okay to use? I was thinking of just ordering a fresh one on my next order.

Thanks,

it`s hard to say as there are too many variable as to optimum storage...but it should be good for at least a few years ... don`t judge its freshness after a few years by scent... the scents are water based and will breakdown after a while.. how long? I can`t really say, but give it a good shake..a couple minutes, and look for consistency ... if it`s smooth with the minor grit from the abrasives, then go ahead and use it..if it`s lumpy or has not mixed well, then it`s time to toss it...hope this helped

Thanks for the clarification. It still is smooth and I tested it on a small area and it seems okay.

Really enjoy your products. Just detailed a black Saab 9-3 with Polish w sealant and the results were fantastic.

PwS is one of my favorite products and about all I have time for with the kids

maintenence with S&W followed by QD+ gives me 6-9 months of great shine and durability
