Keep them out of extreme heat and do not let them freeze. You should be okay for 2-3 years. Its just really common sense were you store them.

I even heard 3-5 years if stored properly and like you said, "Keep them out of extreme heat and do not let them freeze". Keep the bottles closed tight.

Depends on which product your talking about. I would think APC would probably last a whole lot longer than say M21

I agree. I can only assume that cleaning products would last longer. I don't see Glass Cleaner and APC+ types products going bad. I guess they could but not as quick. I assumed he was asking about things like Wax, Sealants, Compounds, Polishes etc. Things that will separate and break down over time.

I'm curious to know what "extreme heat" is.

I had a 12 oz bottle full of #9 that after a few days in my garage turned to the consistency of milk.

Where do you live?
How hot does your garage get?

This is a thread about temperatures for using the products not storing them but does outline some ranges for lows and highs which would be applicable to storing them also.

What temperature ranges are best for applying cleaners, polishes, and waxes

I live in Southwestern ohio, where at the worst (this year anyway) we get up to around 95*. My garage gets about that hot at times since there's no AC in there, but it's nothing consistent.
