Cleaning supplies frozen... Please help :(

[sil3ncer7]

Well I went outside to find a majority of supplies were frozen.. :(
So I rushed them in and put them in a warm spot to try and save them.

So my plea from one clean freak to another.. If my supplies were frozen.. when they thaw, will they still be good or does the freezing change the composition...

I have frozen now:
4 bottles of Meguires Quick detailer
2 bottles of Meguires
3 bottles of NANO Protectant leather conditioner
1 bottle of Meguires Ultimate quick detailer
2 bottles of Meguires NXT Tech wax
1/2 gallon of Eagle one car wash shampoo (soap)
1 bottle of Meguires Scratch X
and some others...

I am prepared for the worst, but PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU..
PLEASE tell me they will still be good......

Let them thaw out, then shake them till your arm hurts, if they stay separated, well they may be toast, if they turn back the way they should be your good

I have found most detailing products are fine after a freeze.

This is why I keep my garage heated in the winter.... not to 70 degrees or even 60, but enough to keep it comfy to work (i.e. OCDetail) out there and to keep the hundreds of dollars of car care products from freezing.

Hopefully most of yours will be okay !!

+1 ^^

I agree... in most cases a single freeze is fine. They'll permanently separate if they're ruined. Otherwise, you're ok!

Just try to make sure they don't freeze again. Often times, they can't handle a second freeze.

There is a SALE on at Detailers Paradise if it all is no good

I saw that and I am tempted.. but no $$ :(

Other than that I am keeping em in my room.. where its a nice 80* in the winter. :D

How would I know for sure if they are still good or if I am just spraying whatever..

[lotsie]

If the product goes back to the way it was before the freeze, it should be OK. If after a vigorous shake, and you let it sit for a couple of minutes and it separates then you have an issue.
