Syth Detailer Shelf life?

[Buck91]

I enjoy using UQD on my door/trunk jams as well as to clean up little nasties and such quite frequently but it seems that the Sythetic Spray Detailer would be significantly more economical to purchase in the gallon size. What can one expect to shelf life to be if stored indoors?

Few years if stored at reasonable temps...

We just answered this in the other thread you'd posted to:

As with all of our products, shelf life should be in the range of 3 to 5 years, as long as it doesn't freeze and it's not exposed to high temps for prolonged periods of time. Here in SoCal it's not uncommon for products to be left in a garage that might reach temps just over 100F for several days at a time and that's rarely a problem. Leaving the same product in your car for all that time is a different story as the interior of a car can easily exceed 150F on very hot days.

Freezing is a different story. Generally speaking, a single freeze is usually enough to kill most products. Always give the product a good shake before use and if you ever notice that it has separated, become lumpy, or has a terrible smell, it's gone bad.

Usage temperature range is generally in the 55F to 100F range, give or take. Many people have commented that they've gotten excellent results from various products at temperatures near freezing, but we don't really expect that to be the norm. But even if the ambient temp is in the 40s, if the sun is shining and the car is out in that sunshine, Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax and it's consumer cousin, Ultimate Quik Wax, should be very usable.
