Default Wax Storage Question

This may be a weird question but do you guys recommend storing my P21S in the refrigerator like Zymol recommends with their Estate Waxes? I just thought about it tonight and thought I would ask for some opinions on it. Thanks.

Does matter where...as long as its not freezing temps. Freezing wax causes it to separate, and hard to use later on. Just dont let it boil or freeze, and youll be fine. If you dont have a lot of wax products, just leave it under your bathroom sink (where you keep your toilet paper, spare toothpaste, etc) for the winter season.

I store my wax in the air conditioned house. I live in Florida and it just gets way to hot to leave some chemicals in the garage. I've got a section of the closet set in my office up for those items that need to be store in a "cool, dry" enviroment. I'm starting to look at options to air condition the garage so I can set up the perfect enviroment for waxing as well.

I agree with what people have already said. You only need to keep Zymol in the fridge because it contains a lot of natural ingredients which could go rotten. Otherwise, just don't keep your detailing chemicals anywhere where they'll be exposed to extreme heat or cold.
