My Adam's detail spray has changed colour

Hey all,

I just noticed last night that my ADam's Detail spray is no longer opaque, like when I got it 2 years ago or so. It used to look like Pepto Bismol, albeit runny, but now it looks like fruit punch.

No good any more, or will it still work fine?

It's lasted you two years? Is it the gallon?

Did it get really cold? It's no good any more.

I usually see that when it's been exposed to freezing Temps.

Yeah, I had the gallon jug, and it only recently did that. I was actually using it last night and it was the opaque colour in the spray bottle, but when I refilled it from the jug I noticed the jug was like fruit punch.
Never exposed to freezing temperatures. Will it still clean? Can it do any harm like it is now?

If you're looking for something you can grab at the local store, pretty much any of them would be fine. I liked the Meguiars that came with my my claybar kit. A bottle should last you till you can get some better stuff ordered.

HOLY CRAP, $13 for that? Price that out by the gallon, then tell me that spending $30-40 for a gallon of the good stuff is unreasonable. That comes to almost $80/gallon of Meguiars.

Welcome to Canada. Everything is more expensive here. Except our health care.

Ahhh, that explains our longer life expectancy.

Ok, back to detail spray....cost aside, is that one a good alternative to Adam's?

Actually, this brings up another question....do Adam's products have a (reasonable) shelf life?
If my detail spray went south after 2+ years, should I also be worried about my waterless wash, swirl/haze remover, revive polish and buttery wax?
That would be a lot of money down the drain...
