Storage of car shampoo (Low temperatures)

[Brian]

I've noticed that my bottle of Meguiars Nxt generation cash wash is suffering the eefects of the cold weather, I store it with all my other car cleaning/related stuff in a cupboard in my garage (detached and not heated)
What seems to happen is some sort of separation of liquids, the top half of the bottle is litterally water and everything else is very thick gloop, shaking the bottle doesn't seem to make much difference as the gloop just moves as a blob (it's not frozen) When you pour it out, the gloop comes out in big blobs.

I assume it would just prefer to be stored in a heated building, but what about using the rest of the shampoo? will it still perform as well as it should etc?

Cheers

Put it in a bowl of hot water and leave it there for a good hour. Then give it a shake.

If that doesn't work, just use the gloopy stuff, it will be fine.

my BTBM has a nice thick sludge at the bottom which doesnt want to shift.

Essex appears to be a dangerous place.

Shampoos, waxes, glazes etc. don't like being cold...!

www.i4detailing.co.uk for some fresh stuff and keep it warm and toasty inside haha !

I have 5L tubs of snow foam and Bilberry Wheel Cleaner. Usually keep it in the garage, but noticed that it had started to do the same.

Ive bought them inside and put them where i keep the rest of my cleaning stuff. They seem fine now.

Brian,

Warm temperatures until the cold snack passes. Treat them as you would frozen milk. Take it back to room temps, quick shake and you'll be back on course. No need for new products.

I keep mine under my bed. 3 massive tool bag's full of product's Don't really want to leave them in the garage for this reason (even if it is central heated).
