i have a detached garage, i have a propane heater i use when i am in there working but nothing heating when i am not, what do you guys do with your products during winter, i do have a fridge was thinking about just putting all liquids in in and turn it on its lowest setting , what do you guys think about that , also would polishes and compounds be ok if left out in the cold, i live in lexington ky so we could have some 0 or lower temps
 
Before I added a heater to my garage I would transfer all products (except iron removing) to my basement
 
I move everything in the house for the winter. Polishes, compounds, coatings, wax, sealants stay in the house year round
 
I keep everything in my basement now. Got tired of moving them from garage to basement when winter came. live in se wi.
 
would like to move into the house, and if absolutely have to i will ,but do you guys think they will be fine in garage fridge

No for Michigan. Even on the lowest temp my bottled beer will freeze a bit.
 
Agree with all of the guys above.

What I did was to buy a cheap-ish tote on Amazon meant for soccer moms to carry groceries in their SUV's. The one I bought is collapsible, but very sturdy.

Get one with a strap or carry handles on each side. It is easy to load all of your waxes/polishes/liquids into the tote, and then carry inside.
 
I moved my stuff to the basement as well. I got a fairly large HDX heavy duty tote from Home Depot that's tall enough to fit spray bottles, gallons, etc. Also got a Sterilite caddy that I can load up with whatever I need to carry out to the garage.

I bought this from Home Depot for carrying the products I use the most in and out of the house
 
I have my shop in my barn. It is mildly insulated and not tight at all. I have a hanging garage heater (Hot Dawg) and I keep it at 36° unless I'm in it which is maybe 5 or 6 eight hour days during the winter. In New Hampshire I probably use $300-350 worth of propane during Dec-March. It's the only place I have room to store things that cannot freeze and I'm OK with the cost. Just a thought.
