Product shelf life

[Parrot_hd]

I found some Megs product 6, 7, 9, 26, swirl x, and some NXT pushed back in a cabinet in the garage that I have forgotten about. I'm pretty sure the swirl x and NXT were purchased in the spring of 2009 but the 6, 7, 9, and 26 must be at least 3 years old and gone through at least 3 Chicago freezes in a non heated garage.

Is there a shelf life on these and can they survive being frozen and thawed numerous times. I shook up all of them and they look fine.

On some recommendations from this site, I'm putting together an order for some M105, M205, P085RD, Collinite 845, and BFWD through the PAC store so I guess I should just throw this stuff out to be safe but I hate to waste if it's still good.

If the products froze then you might have some issues, sometimes the only way to know is to apply them. However, I have some polishes that are 5 years old or older and work fine.

Look at the label on the bottle. Does it look good or has it started to look greasy (a greasy film would indicate some of the product has begun to leech through the bottle and is no longer working well)?

Shake the product up good, and squeeze some onto an applicator pad. If it comes out uniformally then your good. If it comes out looking like cottage cheese then its time to toss it
