Oh wow that stinks that you have to keep them in your room. At least they won't freeze lol. Here during winters some of my stuff froze... Garage is not heated, but I did some insulation, and during last winter, it was a lot better and warmer.

 

Ouch, that sucks dude.
I don't have AC in the unit (Actually the entire building has no AC), so if it gets to 100+ degrees during the summer, I put my temperature sensitive polishes in my wine cooler that I bought for my waxes, lol.

 

Lol that's funny. In a cooler? that's very interesting, as I would never thought of that, but very nice to keep em cool.

 

Yep! I'd like to keep my waxes in a constant temp/humidity environment, I'm eccentric like that, lol
Here's a pic, a friend of my who's a fellow detailer has two of my waxes for testing

In this picture: AGHD, Victoria Chaos & Mayhem
Missing in the picture: Victoria Red Concour's, Dodo Juice Austintatious

 

Lol, ur cracking me up in a good way

Btw, how do you like Viktoria waxes?

 

Excellent waxes, Chaos and Mayhem can be layered immediately after each coat since it's a "hybrid" wax.
I applied 3 coats of each on my car 6 months ago, neglected my car for the past 6 months (Washed it once a month), and it's still beading strong, paint is also still very slick.

 

Oh wow that's nice. I usually stick with Meguiars waxes, since they are cheap, but if you are saying it lasted you 6 months I shall give it a try. Usually during winter, NXT lasts around 1.5 months if not less (on door panes) but longer on hood/roof/trunk lid. Maybe because your weather is different, that is lasts so long? The longest I've got the was to last was 3.5 months, during summer.

 

Take a look here, scroll down to the bottom of the post,

I basically bought the cheap waxes off the 6 1/2 months durability list, lol. Vic's Chaos n Mayhem was a recommendation of other enthusiasts on detailing bliss.

 

If you cant view it, this is the list

" 12.1.09

OK guys, time has pasted, we have seen one of the coldest and longest periods of weather since 1986, apparently.....

Review, 12th January 2009:

The last review was start of Nov, and today was a huge task just to wash the horsebox, I used over 175 litres!

Test orignally started 30th June 2008. Reviews took place at 26th July, 1st Spet, 8th Oct and 1st Nov 2008.

After 6 and 1/2 months, the following waxes are still protecting the paintwork:

Autoglym Hi Def
Collinite 915 Marque D'Elegance
Nattys White & Blue
RaceGlaze 55
Swissvax Divine, Mystery, BoS and Concourso
Victoria Concours
Zymol Vintage and Glasur "

The test went from June 2008 to January 2009.

 

I remember reading that article a while back. I was going to buy Collinite 915 but was too expensive at that time when it just came out. Zymol is expensive too. I might try Victoria or Swissvax.

Thanks for that article

 

Zymol Glasur is like ~100 bucks.....
Victoria red concour's is like, 50 bucks i think?
I'm pretty sure coli 915 price has came down as well.

 

Umm, yeah, with those prices, I'd rather apply NXT 2.0 every month lol.

But I do want to try em for sure.

 

lol, AGHD is pretty cheap, Walmart had them for $20 a while back.

 

I never saw in that write up where the 845IW fell.

As far as I am concerned Klasse SG with 845IW on top is like kevlar for car paint. There may be other options, but I found what works for me on dark colors in 115 degree heat in the shade. Surface temps in the sun here get over 125 easy in the summer.

 

Well that's what it's all about, finding what works for you and sticking to it!!
But since I detail cars on a regular basis, I need to find all around products that would work with pretty much everything, which is why I go through different polishes as time goes by.

 

very nice collection of products sir.

 

So just your LSP's?

Some people have told me that the sealants, polishes and compounds can be greatly affected as well...

 

All mine is kept in my shop in the basement which seldom varies from 65F summer or winter.

 

Have you ever done an actual check? I think you'll find on a dark car the temps are a lot higher than that on the surface of the hood/roof. Thats why carnubas don't do so well in those climates.

 

Yeah, I know, I just figured someone in the north wouldn't believe me if I put 200 degrees... I have not actually checked, but it's not hard to get a 2nd degree burn from the exterior of a dark car in the summer here if it's sitting in the sun.

 

Oh I know .. lol its going to be just over 80 here today .. and I been in Pheonix .. BTW it can get over 100 F here in the summer.

 

lol, thanks

I put my menz po85rd in the fridge if temps get that high, normally on the label of a polish it'll tell you between what temps it needs to be stored in. everything I have other than the menz doesn't have that warning. Haven't had issues either.

Over 80? gee it's barely over 70 where I'm at

 

I hear you...

I just wonder where in that article the 845IW fell since he never mentioned it...

 

I don't think he mentioned which waxes were dropped. He only mentioned which stayed, lol.
