refrigerate after opening?

[psycho bob]

why is this needed for zymol or any other type of wax. i've never heard of this and was wondering why

There's really no need to. I just keep mine inside the house where the temp stays from 68-73.

 

[psycho bob]

okay, but what's the reasoning for it. there has to be some reason it's recommended

I'm not really sure to be honest. My guess would be to make it seem like its that much better of a product than it really is and that if it does get hot and melt the heavier products may sink to the bottom. Seer may know the exact reasoning behind it though

my thoughts exactly

Two reasons, but putting them in the fridge is not 100% needed, but here is the reasoning:

1. Zymol uses only organic ingredients, so keeping them in a cooler temp lengthens the life of the wax, especially for how much you spend on it.

2. Since the Zymol waxes react to heat it is not good to store them in garages or places where climate control is not available. It is best to keep them in areas where temperature is consistent, hence a fridge Room temperature is fine though.

good info. will make for an interesting question whenever someone notices it in there.

What other products should be kept in climate controlled areas? I keep all my detailing equipment in the garage.

Primarily just Carnauba based waxes.
