Does anyone know the shelf life of SG? I bought the twins and really like the AIO but that SG is going to sit awhile. Anybody have a container that's been around for decades and still works?
 
If it can last months on a car that is exposed to the elements, it should be able to hold up a decade without going bad. It's a synthetic, so it shouldn't be an issue, it might change smells on you, but it should still work.
 
this is just a guess but I wouldn't keep SG or any detailing prodcuts in the garage over the winter season if you live anywhere there's a possibility of freezing.

Product could separate or change the properties of the product so why take a chance on wasting $$$.
 
NYV6COUPE, thanks for the reminder, it definetely gets below freezing in the winter in Ohio. That would have been bad.

I'm in Atlanta and I moved all my chemicals inside for the winter!
 
this is a bit off topic but back in the 70's I left a bottle of Windex in the garage over the winter and, in the spring, I found it had separated. I shook the bottle & it seemed to mix OK but when I used it on the windows it streaked, smeared, and smudged like I'd never seen.

I thought the cotton cloth (no MF back then) had somehow been contaminated so I tried a fresh towel, same result. It was cleaning the glass with anti-freeze.

I grabbed Mom's Windex from the kitchen and it took a few applications to remove everything so I tossed the old Windex in the trash and I always bring everything in the house when winter's approaching.

Toss a $1.69 bottle of glass cleaner .... who cares but tossing a $20 bottle of SG (or any other hi-end product for that matter) is out of the question.

Also, cold freezing temps will usually render anything aerosol useless. Lots of product in the can but zero propellant.

What about a NY-area garage attached to a house? Not heated, it probably is usually low-40's in my garage. I don't think it's below freezing; guess I can always put a glass of water out and see if it freezes.
 
My garage is attached & there's no difference between inside & outside temps aside from the absence of wind. If it's not heated in someway, then it's going to be cold & why take a chance.

This is a good opportunity to hit Wal-Mart for some stackable & easy to carry Sterilite containers. I've got one for MF & WW towels, one for PC pads about the same size, small one for applicators, and one for waxes & sealants that's tall enough to hold a spray bottle of BnB.
 
I keep many of my products in an unheated attached garage in NY. However, the garage is well insulated and I keep my products up against the interior wall. I also place a thermometer near the products to monitor room temperature. Even though last winter was exceptionally frigid in this area, it was still above 40F in the garage on the coldest days.
