    Hello All,

    I have leftover Toyota Throttle Plate Cleaner, but I bought it in 2016 or 2017. Does anybody know if this stuff goes bad? If it was not in an aerosol container, I would not even ask, and I would chuck it to be safe, but I don't know if it being in an aerosol can makes it last longer.

    Thank you and regards,

    Have you put some on a throttle plate to see if it gets clean?

    Nope, it's mostly acetone (nail polish remover) so I doubt it would go bad probably ever!! Just shake it up well before use.

    The impression I got from The Car Care Nut was that it would last effectively forever (well, at least your lifetime).
