So the majority of my detailing stuff is in my garage. It's snowing and 28 degrees outside. I've brought in my Menzerna stuff because on the bottle it says to not let it get below 50ish degrees...but is there anyhting else I should keep away from the cold? I have stuff like Iron X/Trix and other stuff. Thoughts?

Still a big newb...but kinda OCD and want to product my investments lol. Thanks in advance!
 
Any liquid products and waxes I would bring in to a heated area.
 
Mainly water-based products along with your waxes. (Line them up on the floor and play with them. Or am I the only one who does that?)
 
^hahaha

That's what I was thinking--water based stuff.

Stinks...cause that's a lot of stuff lol
 
Tons of posts about this. I bring in everything just to be safe. My garage barely gets below 35 but its not worth ruining something to me even if others said its OK.
 
In SoCal its the heat. Gallons are in boxes stashed in the closet; smaller stuff in boxes on a moveable rack. Wife isn't crazy about it, but understands - well, at least for now.
Later, I'm thinking about sectioning off part of the garage, super insula ting, and conditioning the air. I don't know though. We may move before I get to that.

I sorta have to same problem.I store All of my detailing products in a garage in the winter.The garage also has washing machine and water heater.I keep a kerosene heater when it gets below 40 degrees. But what I've done to protect the detailing products is buying old plastic and metal coolers at yard sells.You can pick them up very cheap.Also I have some large Styrofoam coolers for free.These are great to store your supplies in.It'll be 40 in garage and 60 in the coolers...
 
I have to bring mine inside during the summer, I just moved all mine out to the garage last weekend.
 
I brought my polishes, compounds, sealants, waxes, and dressings inside. The window cleaner, wheel cleaners, and the like are still outside. For some reason the garage doesn't seem to get ridiculously cold. We came home the other day after using the touchless wash. On the way home the water beads froze. We're talking a five minute drive. In about an hour the frozen beads melted. That was before I even turned on the heater.
 
Mine doesn't go below 55. I've never really thought about moving anything.
 
I just keep all my stuff in the basement for the winter. Much easier than having to replace it if it freezes and goes bad.
