Default Does car wax and other cleaning supplies expire/go bad

Might sound like a stupid question..but since I'm way overstocked on cleaning supplies for my car.. I was wondering does wax and polishes go bad. I went thru a few of my older waxes and they sure don't look "good"

I heard Zaino expires pretty quickly. I doubt polishes expire, but any kind of sealant I would assume does.

I'd like to know for sure as well.

IMO I think carnuba wax would be OK for a few years, as for cleaners and what not I always use new and fresh stuff. I deliver many types of chemicals for my job and I've always noticed everyone likes new materials to work with, they do work better. If it looks ugly I would throw it out.

Just my .02

I would assume so, but I don't know .. I go through so much, so quickly, that I never have a chance for anything to expire. I just went through a 64 oz jug of Meg's #21 in less than 5 months ..

I just threw away a bottle of Duragloss PC last week, it seemed like it was separated. It was ancient. Conclusion, yes, stuff goes bad.

I always take all my supplies out of the garage in the winter, so they don't freeze up. Usually that is the longest the stuff lasts is the few months it's too cold to be used.
