All these reading about product storage has made me a bit paranoid in storing my LSPs. I've been storing my waxes in room temp, but being in tropical country the temperature is between 80-85° F or 30° C with a bit of humidity and i feel that it's too close to the borderline of product storage. I've been thinking about moving them to a mini fridge... According to your experience, how long did it take before LSPs deteriorate, and how did you store it before it got damaged in the process? On the flip side, for those who store your LSPs in the fridge, how long have they last without any damage? Kindly appreciate the input, i'm kinda in between the line of moving my whole collection into a mini fridge, but i'm afraid the cold temp would do more damage than good. Thanks

Yep, posted on that one as well. Just want to know specific time period in which wax could be damaged, in warm climate and inside the fridge?
Hi bro, its hard to tell even the manufacturer if you asked such a question :shead: Someone just keep their high end waxes in bathroom could last for more than 5 years without any prob. I know you worry about our country climate could do some damages to your huge wax collection :worship2:
Hi ahwil, thanks for the input, my collection is nothing compare to yours But exactly, climate here is a bit warm, the last batch i received kinda soften to a point where i can pop it out of its container, and it's only less than a month. I've been keeping some of them for a year or two without problem and some are even more than 4 years already. Like i said, reading too much made me a bit paranoid How do you keep yours?
I keep my stuff in storeroom and some in bedroom some damages might caused during delivery from our post office to us. You should know that They use motorcycle to deliver our small packages. So it might heat up by expose to direct sunlight. I could feel all my stuff in warm condition when arrived. Anyway, all my waxes are in good shape now, We will see in 1 or 2 years later. :thumb:
I heard wine cooler is a safer option, but it means i have to invest for it. I'm thinking about putting it in my unused mini fridge
hi nothelle, that is the best no-cost option. unused mini fridge. here is mine. http://www.detailingbliss.com/forum/car-detailing-product-discussion/18171-carnauba-wax-storage-2.htm#post233353
I think room temp is the best bet, or in a basement where it is cool. I have used waxes out of the refridgerator, and didn't like the condesation that formed on top. Pulling the wax out of the refridgerator, then out to 85F garage will cause it to condense.
I've never had to thhrow away an LSP, liquid or wax. I just store at room temperature, year round. It's the polishes that usually go after a couple of years.
