Default How long do you keep your car detailing products?

After how many years do you throw out your car detailing products?

How long before they "go off". Surely they can't last forever.

geez Sam, if you clean often enough you should never have products "go off".
Now go outside and clean the beast!!!

And you know what Pete? With the silouhette car now, I think I won't have that problem either.

Looks like I'm up for some new products !!

Even though I detail for a living, I do end up hanging on to my products for ages
I still have twelve litres of a swedish finishing polish thats no longer made and menzerna powergloss from 2003 thats still good

I'd say the only products that can go off are some paint sealants like permagard which cure in the bottle after 3 months
