Information
Use-by date and storage of corrosion protection wax.
•
After opening corrosion protection wax, store it in a dark, dry place at temperatures of 30° to 86° F.
(+10° to +30° C.).
•
Corrosion protection wax has a shelf life of approx. 12 months after opening, depending on air and
lighting conditions.
•
Write the opening date on the can.
•
After opening the can, corrosion protection wax can change over time (e.g. color change or skin
formation). To prevent skin formation, seal the can tightly after use and stir the wax frequently.
•
If a can of wax that has already been opened and is still good to use is used at a later time for further
vehicles and a skin has formed on the surface in the interim period, remove this using a paint brush
or spatula.
•
The service employee is responsible for marking the use-by date after opening and recording the
number of times the corrosion protection wax has been used.
•
If the use-by date shown on an open can is exceeded, dispose of the entire can and use a new can.
•
Always observe safety and processing instructions for corrosion protection wax.
