Where to store your wax?

Where do you guys normally keep your polishes and waxes? Indoors? Outdoors?

I just keep mine on a shelf in the garage, is this a bad idea?

Is there a shelf life for these products?

That's OK as long as your garage doesn't get too hot. Try to keep your stuff in a cabinet and out of the sun. Keep the lids tight.

I haven't really had any issues with wax, but I know that some detail sprays and tire sprays can get floaters and mildew-like stuff in there after a while. It just depends on what it's made of.

Basements or pantries are nice. Remember to shake up your liquids after storage for a while, especially waxes and polishes.
