The seasons are changing, cold weather is rolling in, and the average temperature in your garage is probably getting pretty low. So what does this mean for your detailing products? Should you store them any differently? If you don't is it bad?
The fact is detailing chemicals, cleaners, polishes, waxes, and dressings are all very sensitive to extreme temperatures - both hot and cold. To that end its important to store your stuff somewhere safe, especially in the off season so its ready when you need in the spring.
TEMP RANGE -We recommend that your chemicals be kept somewhere thats tempurature controlled. A closet, laundry room, etc... you just want to make sure they're not falling below 40*. Beyond that chemicals can begin to change structure and be rendered useless. Nothing worse than pulling out your detail goods for the big spring cleanup and realizing its all ruined!
MAKE TRANSPORT EASY - Cardboard 6 pack boxes make great holders for 16oz bottles! Plastic tubs with sealable lids or milk crates are cheap and make storing your supplies away easier, plus they'll be organized if you need them.
CAP PLUGS - At Adam's we ship all of our bottles with a red cap plug that seals the bottles during shipment. Keep these and reinsert them when they go into storage. They'll ensure the seal is air tight and product won't leak or dry out.
LIGHT SENSITIVITY - Some products are sensitive to extended or harsh light exposure. Don't store bottles exposed to harsh light, like in front of a window. If it can't be avoided put bottles into boxes.
WINTER SHIPPING - if you decide to order supplies during the winter months plan accordingly. Standard shipping options often mean a package will sit in a truck for days, if that truck happens to cross thru a cold area of the country freezing is a risk. To avoid this, select 2nd day shipping. Also request signature required deliveries if you won't be home... a package left on the porch in a cold area can freeze, making the products useless.
ACCESSORIES - Make sure all your towels, pads, and applicators are clean and store them somewhere safe. Keep them dust free and they'll be ready to go to work at the first signs of spring weather.
