Menzerna shelf life?

Does anyone know, or have experience with, the shelf life of Menzerna products? Specifically PO85RD 3.02, PO106FA, and PO85RD.



I'm planning to have some Menzerna shipped in from the UK and figure that since I'm going to the trouble/expense that I might as well get the 1 liter bottles. However, I don't want the product to go bad as I don't detail professionally and am not a heavy user. I've considered getting 250ml bottles but that doesn't seem like much. How long would you expect a 1 liter bottle to last versus a 250ml bottle?

i would say that polishes, lps's, liquids, etc.. should last between 3-5 years easy, but many usually last longer if stored correctly at room temperature and not exposed to heat or cold...



edit : giving them a good shake about once a month wouldn't hurt as well....
 
good cause I just bought my first gallon of FF today and have three five litre bottles of dinitrol 7020

How would you know if the product "died"?

Other than the obvious (it dries out) you'd probably notice that it won't stay mixed/shaken up and or the cut is suddenly a lot more aggressive than it used to be. Might flash off faster too if the carrier agent has evaporated a little.



My FP is at least four years old and works the same as it did when new. My other polishes/compounds (from other manufacturers) are *much* older, some well over a decade, and still work fine.



Only argument against the larger bottles might be the matter of air space when a lot of the product has been used. I might consider transferring it to a smaller bottle at some point. e.g., aving a few ounces of polish in a one-quart jug probably wouldn't be optimal.
