There are a lot of variables to consider, but assuming you keep the Coat2Protect tightly capped in the original container, and store it in a cool area out of the sunlight it should last 6mo or longer after the first opening. However if you leave the cap off for extended periods of time, leave the bottle in the sunlight or in a hot vehicle ,you might start seeing some thickening almost immediately.

Because of the air/product ratio the coating may begin to thicken prematurely in the measuring device of the bottle. To reduce the chances of this be sure the measuring device in the bottle is empty prior to storage whenever possible.

We know not everyone will store their chemicals in a perfect environment when not in use, but mobile technicians who take reasonable care to follow storage instructions typically find they have approximately 3 to 6 months to use the product. In shop technicians will have a few months more but should still try to use the entire bottle within 6 months.
