Default Shelf Life ?

For WAX: Do they have any shelf life?

could we buy a bunch when it's on sale and save it for later? or should we just buy when needed?

I think they should last a while at normal temps. I left a couple bottles in the car once in Houston summer weather. they were congealed pretty bad even after I shook em.

If you don't scorch it or freeze it most wax products will age well.

OTOH, this protection technology is changing rapidly. I wonder if you will want to use a 10 year old wax product when there will certainly be much more effective products available in the future.

For example. I can get around 70 applications out of a tin of Meguiar's #16. I have a couple tins in storage. If I used this wax quarterly, I have 35 years of product to use. I also have a couple bottles of NXT Tech Wax, NXT Tech Paste Wax, #21 Synthetic Sealant, some Medallion Premium Paint Protection and a few others. I like to try new products more thatn I like to save a few bucks.
