I wanted to give s100 a try so i went to a harley shop and found it. But on the package it had the date 8/30/05 stamped on it. Does this means the wax is expired?

 

should still be o.k. if it has been kept sealed...

you can tell when you use it- wipe it on and wipe it off in a small area. you can feel the diff if its sticking (use the backs of your fingers)- feel the area that you did and the area that you didnt do...
also you might be able to see a bit of diff too.

the real way to tell is to put water on the areas and it will bead up nicely if the wax is good.
again, i would expect it to be fine

 

It doesnt really expire, but I have had a number of bottles....

a)dry out (turn into powder basically)

b)Separate (water/oil type thing)

If it is sealed, and keep indoors, you should be fine.

If you have a bottle that is sitting long enough, you arent waxing your car enough!!!

 

itll be ok, im on the same can of s100 for about 2 years now.

 

thx for the responses! i guess i'll go back and get some.

 

I had a bottle of Gold Class saparate(b.). Should I throw it out or is it still usable?

 

Still useable.....just shake the hell out of the bottle.

 

s100 should be fine as it's pure carnuba

other liquids and waxes will expire - heck i had a tin of two year old mothers gold that smelled like petroleum distillates
