How long does Five Star UPP last in the bottle?

I ordered a bottle of this a few years ago and am getting prepared for spring and detail my cars. Just wondering how long this stuff is good for. Seems when I detailed the cars last fall, the UPP was pretty watery and took a lot of shaking the bottle to get a good consistency.

Should be ok as long as you can shake it back to the original consistancy

^ Thanks for the reply. That's the thing, it takes a lot of shaking up to get back to it's consistency. Just wanted to make sure the stuff was still good before I use it.

I guess I forgot to ask .. is it stored at room temp? Cold or freezing can have an effect.

It is stored in my basement in a cabinet. So the temp is always constant and not too hot/cold.

I actually have some I took back (for the same reason) about 6-7 years ago. I shook it up, that long ago, now it just takes about 30 seconds and its back to like new for several months......You're good to go Bob.....
