Does this sound like my Endurance is damaged

[Barry N]

Bought a bottle of Endurance late last year and stored it in a heated basement all winter to prevent freezing in my garage. Today I shook the bottle vigoursly,but instead of being the regular purple colour that I am accustomed to it is a white goopy solution. It still has the familiar grape scent. Do you think it is still usable or should I head out to my favourite auto supply store ?

OK...I will take a picture of it in the next few days and post it, probably Monday.

How "vigourously" did you shake it?

Is it possible that because the bottle was partly empty and you shook it really hard that it forced air into and turned it white? Did you check it again later?

I can't see it going bad if you stored in in a heated basement.

If all else fails... try it. I'm sure it'll still be fine, and if its not whats the worst that could happen? If it doesn't look right use some degreaser to remove it then go buy some new stuff.

Being a fellow Canuck... May I ask... where/what is your "favorite auto supply store"?

Whisky:


It was a factory sealed bottle,and that makes it all the stranger. I actually did go ahead and use it. It seems to be ok,so I will probably just continue on with it. My favourite auto supply store ? Well....it depends... either Parts Source or Canadian Tire. I only buy car cleaning supplies [ Meguiars ] from either of them....at least I know that neither of them had anything to do with the manufacturing of the product.

Hey, It's not the new high gloss version is it? I just though of that... Havn't used it personally, but maybe its a different colour than the original version?

It's Just a thought...

Parts source huh? yeah we dont have them here. But we've got Lordco that carries a fair bit of Meguiars stuff including some rareities (at a high price, but still)

Any yeah, good old Canadian tire... Selection varies by store though. Each one carries a different little chunk of the Pro line. One has #2,#4, #9... Then Another store has #39&40, and #7 and #16... and so on. With enough driving around you could find the whole line.

There WAS a time a few years back when nearly every store carried the FULL mirror glaze line. Then they stopped. My guess being either low demand or too many "consumers" trying to use Pro products, messing it up and complaining...

Now the shelves are stocked with a dozen brands of every product... None of which I would ever buy. (except Meguiars of course!) Walmart carries a bit too, at a cheaper price, but selection is limited to the consumer line. I walked out with an armfull of product last night. I would have bought more but I couldn't carry anymore. lol should have got a cart, but I probably would have filled it!

Thought maybe there was some Canadian holy grail of Meguiars products out there I didn't know about. guess not. I'll keep serchin!

I also got one like yours, bought at Canadian Tire early this year. Product smells alright, seems to work right, but the purple color is really faint, almost white.
