How I Store My Waxes- Pic

Regarding the frig concept...what is the ideal temperature?

That's alot of wax... Certainly enough to last the average person maintaining just the vehicles at home a lifetime. That makes me think, how many vehicles do you maintain up to the standards? If anyone is the type that's out there [or inside the comforts of your garage, to prevent the neighbors from thinking you're crazy, lol] waxing 1 of his vehicles just about every weekend, I hope it's you... Because if you don't wax frequently, then it becomes more about preserving them in that fridge than it ever is about actually putting them to good use and enjoying them. Wax on...

Oh- you are right. More than enough for a lifetime of waxing.

But I like collecting them and my wife likes buying them for me!

Sadly, I don't get to do much detailing any more, so most of my efforts are spent gazing at my collection of supplies...
 
What else are you going to use that fridge for? It's too small for beer...
 
I'd definitely feel a bit more rush simonizing my car, if I knew the wax were in such pristine quality.

BTW, could the same effect be achieved using a dehumidifier storage box or cabinet?
 
I do not do this, if I did, it would drive my wife crazy. On second thought, maybe I should do this.

"Honey, I threw away your Pinnacle Souveran, that Zymol, and your Meguiars waxes. They were taking up too much space in the produce drawer."

Just thought I`d share with everyone how I store my waxes.
Someone a long time ago mentioned this in passing, and I thought it was a genius idea.

The mini fridge keeps everything a constant temperature- some of them have been in there for 8 years, and they havent changed consistency in the least.

I just put it on the lowest (warmest) setting.

In this era of ultra-advanced sealants and coatings, there`s just something soothing about a well-stocked wax fridge!

Honestly, I don't know if one needs to resort to such OCD to keep a wax product lasting as long as it can.
Here's some of my takes about such:

Firstly, if some products have not been what I call "Stably made", then it won't matter what you do you them. A Wax of course is a consist of different ingredients. Some in the olden days, you might be surprised what was in them.

The containers they come in: Yep, there's Plastic today, but years ago, everything was basically metal jars or cans. And yep, those could be a problem.
That rust could form inside. I don't think holding temperatures would make much of a difference in such cases.

With such metal cans with their hammer down lids, akin to a paint can, I know it was paramount that if you weren't able to achieve an air tight seal after using them, then air would eventually get to them, dry them up, or cause other problems. One tip I used to do, was to simply take a piece of Saran Wrap and place in between the can, and the lid, then firmly close shut. That this would help insure a better air-tight seal with the can. (The Same can be done with Plastic Cans with Screw on Lids)

I'm not too sure about temps, other than, like a fine musical instrument like a mint vintage Fender Strat, I wouldn't want to keep them anywhere I wouldn't wish to be, meaning not too cold, or too hot, or considerable temperature swings. That 60-70 degrees give a few should be fine. And yeah, as far as vintage Strats, some of these can easily approach $15K-$25K. Of course Some Violins can make those Strats look like plastic toy Ukeleles at Wally World

Again, and like I've said, I've run into a good few products over the years, that no matter what, they failed, and it was not any fault of the end user. Just happens is all.

But too, I have waxes on hand, that are pushing about 22 years of age, and look and will work like they were made yesterday.

you just said you've never resorted to storing them in the fridge, saying "no matter what" means you've tried the fridge method?

"Good" is relative :laughing:

It's an older product that has been surpassed by many new products as far as ease of use.
It also smells like crayons and comes in an inconvenient tin.

But it provides a nice look, and gives, in my opinion, long lasting and effective environmental protection.
And it has that certain retro appeal to a lot of folks who used to use it all the time.

It's also a banned, discontinued product, which is why I bought it .
Hey, they banned it. It's got to be good, right?!?
