Where to keep the gear?

I found out the other day my bottle of wax has turned completely to water, after not having used it for more than 6 months and being kept in the boot of my car. Also, my touch up paint has almost hardened and darkened, so I can't use that anymore either.

My friend said it was because it gets too hot in the boot of my car. If that's the case, I can always put it in a cooler area somewhere in the house, but I initially thought the car was a good idea because there'd be occasional movement to 'shake' things up a bit.

Where is the best place to keep these sorts of things?

In your garage in a locker type deal like u buy at stratco, beleive it or not once u open a new container of oil if u dont use it that will also start to break down

To be honest i would keep your products in the garage as mentioned. Whether you have it in a cabinet/locker style or even on the shelf i would just make sure no direct sunlight and it will be fine.

Leaving anything in a car due to the heat / cold changes constantly on a daily basis would cause anything to go a bit wacky eventually. Imagine if you were in the boot! haha.

I keep my stuff in a cupboard inside the house. My garage doesn't have insulation so it gets to 0 in winter and 40 in summer.
