Hey guys,

Looking through the stuff I had, I found that these 5 products went bad. Seems like the liquid separated inside. the blackfire paint protection I think I may have saved it by shacking it for 30 minutes but would need to test it out.
So the question is does most of the product go bad after a while if not shaken up every now and then? Or should I keep the product in a climate controlled place? I have everything outside under a carport. Or is it the change in temperature from hot to cold that ruins it?
Thanks guys.

shake, shake shake shake, it should meld back together. I have had things separate i shoo them for a period of time and went back to normal. :)
 
No idea what your climate is like but it's not good to store products outside.

OK so shacking them till my arms fall of. Got ya. the blackfire is getting better but the pinnacle water spot remover seems way too liquefied to get back. But i'll try.

Hot and humid . Live in Louisiana . we get maybe a week of real cold and that's it
 
I store my products in my basement - even temps all year and average humidy I guess, and have had products last 5+ years with no probs. I think the heat is the problem in your area. Bring 'em inside and you should be fine.

Like others have mentioned, shake them real good.

Yes the hot & humid weather plays a huge factor on products going bad. You need to store them in climate controlled areas. Somewhere where the temperature doesn't fluctuate to much.
 
I have had products going bad over the years but not many. Mother's Cleaner Wax was one. Can't think of an other one right now but I am sure I had other do it too. None of my Meguiar's products went bad so far, neither did my Optimum ones. A good thing too because I buy those by the gallon.
 
Put a few clean nuts in the bottle - that will make shaking them more effective. Think of the little ball in rattle can spray paint.

Good idea. Could even use a larger ball bearing. I like the idea of using a clean nut, however there could be fine metal shavings in the threads.
 
If you are talking about metal nuts, they will rust and contaminate the product in the bottle.
 
Once the inner seal is removed, any solvents/carriers can evaporate away, ruining the formulation.

Maximum life comes from as little temperature change as possible. Leaving products on a carport, and in direct sunlight, will effect most products.

Invest in a carry crate and bring the products inside when not in use.

The pinnacle glassworks w/ water spot remover will separate naturally within hours... it's not bad, ... one must shake it.
I have a reminder on my iPhone to shake all my product once per month...

I tried shacking it for a while and it just seems too far gone. It seems to be way to liquefied. It should be thick right?

I wish I could bring everything inside but just have too much stuff. I need to see If I can bring in just the stuff that has a risk of going bad.
Right now it's in the carport but it's away from the sunlight.
 
I ran into the same problem with Pinnacle Black Label sealant. However, I keep mine in climate controlled environment and shake it at least once per month. It seems to still be very liquified and to top it off the pump blew out.
