Klasse AIO gone bad??

dirtyk · 05-23-2008, 09:10 PM

Yesterday I picked up a bottle of AIO that I've had for a couple years and noticed it smelled off, almost rotten.

Used it anyways on the GF's black Ridgeline after paint correction, and appears to look good.

Do acrylic sealants go bad?

bump.

i don't know the answer, but maybe someone else will be able to chime in

you might also want to post this on other detailing forums. They'll probably be able to help more

This happened to me as well with a large bottle of AIO. I don't think it'll go bad to the point where you won't get results, if anything, you may sacrifice a little durability on the protection left behind. Mine still cleaned the paint well even though it smelled foul.

Average shelf life of a product is 3~5 years.

Thanks,

Yeah it smells bad but still seems to work well. The sealant glaze stinks like shit too! But I guess I'll try to use them both up! Mine are the large bottles as well...
