Griot's Garage Machine Polish 1 & 2

[XJL]

I found some old Griot's Garage Machine Polish while cleaning out my cabinet. I'd like to put them to use but they must be at least 8 years old. I can still shake them up, it smells fine and the polish appears to be pliable. GG has discontinued these products. So I have some questions:

1. Is this polish still usable after all these years or is there a shelf life?
2. These polishes were made for a DA polisher. Can I use them with a rotary polisher?
3. If so, what speed for Machine Polish 1 and Machine Polish 2?

Thanks in advance!

Here's my strong recommendation. Find the local organization that allows you to discard un-need chemicals and dispose of them.

There's a reason Griot's discontinued them and introduced the BOSS line of compounds and polishes. I used these one time and then chose to never use them again. They don't use the best of abrasive technology. Jeff Brown figured this out too when he left Meguiar's and joined the Griot's team and he's a big part of why the are gone and the new BOSS creams are available.
