I have a lot of Meguiar's product - car and wheel soaps, polish, wax, and protectants that's over 3 years old. It has been stored in the garage, which means it gets cold (but not frozen) in the winters and hot in the summers. My question is, is this stuff still good to use or should I buy all fresh product.

Re: Do Detailing Products Go Bad?
Mine always seem to still work, and I have some products a few years before they get used up.2017 Subaru WRX Premium - WR Blue -

Try them out and see. If theyve not been frozen then they should be ok.Current Jeep: 2004 Jeep Liberty with stuff

Just try them out and make sure to shake all the bottles well.

Re: Do Detailing Products Go Bad?
Officialy I believe Meguiars says 2-3 years. But alot of forum members say they last longer then that. Give them a good shake and try them out. I have a couple and they seem fine to me.quality creates its own demandComment

Re: Do Detailing Products Go Bad?
Generally the shelf life of our products is 3-5 years, barring any freezing or exposure to extreme heat. As others have mentioned sometimes you'll find a product that still works as intended many years after it was produced. That is the exception to the rule though. Paste products would be the most common type to surpass that time frame, but most liquid products are usually good to go as long as they mix together with a good shaking.Michael Stoops

I thought it was 3-5years?Originally posted by J. A. Michaels View Post
Either way, I have products over 5 years old that still work great. I have some liquid Gold Class wax thats over 5years old but its un-opened(trying to save that). I still use a tube of scratch-x and Natural shine that my brother got over 5 years ago. Hes the one that really got me into detailing so I kinda took all of his left over stuff.
