Welcome to the forum and nice car!

 

Also not to threadjack but I am wondering about leaving stuff in the garage past April?? Why not?

 

I leave mine in the garage all year...(south west florida)...some for years, and never had an issue. Adam's product's are awesome!

Also not to threadjack but I am wondering about leaving stuff in the garage past April?? Why not?

 

Maybe the heat?

 

Thats it!

I do leave the liquids in the garage (DS, Wash Shampoo, Undercarriage Spray, VRT, and cleaners), but the thick stuff (polishes, waxes, sealants, and Leather Conditioner) goes in the Adam's bag in the house.

 

Here is the 'official' word from El Jefe (from this thread: http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1595&page=2&highlight=product+storage)

 

You guys are great! So, the official temperature range to keep products from separating, or changing color:

 

Minimum: 45 degrees

Maximum: 85 degrees

 

Chemicals hate temperature change, and the more often the temp changes, the faster the products will spoil.

 

We heat the products to get the color to remain consistent, as well as getting the surfactants to work, which keeps the products from separating. By heating the products to that temperature again, about 95+ degrees, they reverse, separate, or change color.

 

Keeping product in the trunk over summer is a great way for things to get ugly, unless stored in a bag or sealed bucket out of the sunlight.

 

If possible, it's best to put your car care products in the wash room in the winter and summer, if your garage reaches temperatures outside of the range above.

 

My advice: Buy car care products just like you buy bread!

 

Buy it fresh, and often. Chemicals age at 10X dog years! :willy: So, a bottle of polish or wax that is a year old, is really 70.

 

Don't buy more product than you will use in a year, as the possibility of extreme temperature change is always there. (Unless you live on the beach in San Diego.)

 

Another thing to consider: We improve 50% of our line every year, and 100% of it within 2 years. Do you want the old news?

 

Technology never stops, and today's, "BEST," is only the best for a few minutes, before something better is developed.

 

Plan on using everything up by the end of the year, and get fresh goods in February-March, as we almost always take the winter to develop new products.

 

So, that's my $.02 on keeping car care products! :patriot:

Update: My car looks great, but right now in Orlando the pollen is awful! I'm saying that in a little more than an hour, my car is completely covered in a thin coat of tiny yellow specks. So, the after pics will have to wait. I should get a day off this week and be able to wash, dry, and maybe even throw one more coat of "Americana" on it. I will then take pics.

 

BTW, I am absolutely in love with the "Leather Conditioner"! The smell and feeling of the leather after an application of it is unmatched by any other product I have used.
