Default How to store waxes/polishes/sealants

Hey there Im just wondering how you guys store all your detailing products? I was wondering if waxes/polishes/sealants need to be stored at a specific temperature? Do these products ever "settle/decompose" which renders them useless?? I purchased a bunch of menzerna products and want to do my best to keep them working at there best. One time I had a meguires bottle of yellow wax or polish sit for about 2-3months and when it came time to use i, itt came out REALLY soupy, almost the same consistency as water!

I am curious about this as well. I just got a house with a basement, and wondered how cold is too cold for all of my detailing products, especially since the cooler weather is apon us.

its really the extremes that you want to avoid...
so if you live in an area where your storage area will get really hot or really cold, you should store them somewhere protected. fridges are often used cause the temp is stable. just make sure its not too cold, and that your products are brought to air temp before using them.

I have all my products in a milk carton in my closet attached to my room. I left a tub of wax in the hot garage over a summer...and it dried even though the tub was sealed. So definitely not anywhere hot. I am wondering about the fridge comment as well.
