tjcin Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Is there anything wrong with leaving your Adam's products on the shelf in the garage for winter? My garage is not heated and it does occasionally freeze out there. Will this affect their shelf life? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BrianT Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Not a good idea. They don't like it HOT and they don't like it COLD! Bring the babies inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bill-V8V Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I brought mine in yesterday :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I leave mine in the basement all year long. They're to expensive to take the chance of ruining them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bigred vette Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 If it gets below 40* yes it will affect the shelf life. Why take the risk of ruining perfectly good product by leaving it out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 694doorbird Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Since I really don't have a place to keep in the house, what about the closet with the water heater. That closet is in the garage. Temps here in Oklahoma can get down to the 0 to 10 below mark sometimes. My garage also isn't heated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 70'sChevyGirl Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 My Adam's products are safely tucked inside my warm home for the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Adam Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 First, what excellent responses here, all accurate! Second, anything in a bottle that freezes, typically expands. Bottles don't expand as easily as liquids. Also, any car care products, outside of Car Wash Shampoo, are heated and/or cooled when mixed. Temps above 85 and below 40 will make products separate, and work less effectively. Here's what happens when a product of ours freezes: The bottle expands, and the bottom of the bottle 'pops' out, and is separated completely from the bottle. The ice cube, once product, will stay frozen, then, when it thaws, it slowly becomes one-with-the-shelf. Don't let it happen friends, put your goods in the basement, in the wash room, anywhere that is temperature controlled! Did I over-expand here? Sorry.

0 DieselDude Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I agree with everyone above. The products do not like the extreme cold or heat. I have moved mine to the basement where it will stay around 60 - 65 degrees this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chewy Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Heck I have received damaged product from Adams and all we can guess is that it froze on the way to me because both times we were there to bring it in to the house. It doesn't like to be frozen... It doesn't just go back to the way it was... Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tjcin Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Wow, I didn't think I would have this many responses so quickly. The verdict is "Bring them in the house!" Thanks for the info everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 jjwvette Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 In the house as of last Friday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nitelord Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Having lost many products last winter (during shipping), I've kept them in the house year round. I don't leave them in the garage even during the summer. I figure, better safe than sorry. Keep them in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
