Car wash soap

Ok so a couple of years ago I got a great deal on Blue Coral car wash soap so I orderd a case. I liked it because is was high foaming and was jel like in texture. I opend the case to use it and it won't foam at all and its like water and runs out. Can soap change over time and if so can oil, I just got 12 gallons of Poo oil

Most of this stuff has chemicals that don't like to sit around. Oil definitely has shelf life too.

Having said that I still buy it on sale and use it over the years.

See if the soap settled...you might be able to shake it up...but sounds like you would have thought of that one already. I suggest you use it anyway and see what happens....perhaps the stuff will still work.

lessons in life have a learning curve.

Thats funny you say that. I have a gallon of Turtle wax car wash that I've had for years, and it is still good.
It does seem like I have to put more in the bucket to get the same suds as when it was new.
The Turtle is the best that I have found for washing though.

not rich just unmotivated when it comes to things like cars and trucks.
my work truck got washed last week for the 3rd time this yr.
if I thought I could get away with pulling up to a customer's home in a rusted out 20yr old 500 van that is what I would have.

Depends on where you stored it. Soap should at temperatures above freezing.

Oils: Store at temperatures at least 10°F above the lubricant’s pour point.
