CQuartz UK shelf Life

Just got done putting a coat on the new wheels last night, wanna save the rest for the car but may be a while until I get Dr. Colorchip on some bad spots and follow that up with a final detail afterwards. JW what the shelf life would be for an already opened bottle, staying in the house all put back in packaging etc.

TIA

Store the opened bottle with the lid securely fastened and in a cool, dark area (indoors is best). It is best to store it in an environment with low humidity if possible as well.

I would say it will likely be fine after 6 months if stored properly.

Thanks Zach! Yep stored at my house, put the cap back on immediately after finishing the wheels. I'd assume I'd be able to see some thin film layer in the bottle itself telling me it's basically past it's shelf life, was curious when to expect that.
