I love Zaino products and slacked with my last vehicle but now that I just bought a new toy, I want to treat her to some Zaino! I just got some new ZFX which I remember goes bad in 12 months but the Z-2 and Z-5 that I have is about 4 years old (maybe even 5!). Is this too old to use??? The website says 3 years...



I know that it would be better to buy new stuff and I will soon and redo a few applications but I am anxious to get a nice coat of protection on ASAP.



Also, the Z-2 has a very watery consitency... is this the it should be? I totally forget!



Thanks in advance!

Z2 shouldn't be that watery? Does either product look seperated before shaking it up? I'd call Sal and see what he recommends. Heck, he might even trade them in for some replacements if you ask.
 
Most Zaino products have a shelf life of about 3-5 years. ZFX should be good for about 2 years maybe longer. I think I had a bottle that lasted over 3 years.
 
I think I've gotten about 4 years out of a bottle before it started separating and turning a bit yellow. It did not get thin though, it got thicker if anything. I wouldn't call it watery, its about the consistency of heavy cream.
 
....from their website:



Q: What is the usable shelf life of Zaino products?



A: A 70° room temperature is best for the longevity of Zaino products. Due to the optical additives used, extreme heat or cold can result in a decrease in gloss-enhancing properties.



When stored at average room temperature between 65° and 75° degrees, shelf life is as follows:

Z-PC 3+ years

Z-AIO 3+ years

Z-CS 5+ years

Z-1 For optimum results, use before 3 years.

Z-2 For optimum results, use before 3 years.

Z-3 For optimum results, use before 3 years.

Z-5 For optimum results, use before 3 years.

Z-6 5+ years

Z-7 5+ years

Z-8 5+ years

Z-9 5+ years

Z-10 For optimum results, use before 2 years.

Z-12 For optimum results, use before 2 years.

Z-14 For optimum results, use before 2 years.

Z-16 3 to 5 years

Z-18 5 years +

ZFX For optimum results, keep tightly capped, avoiding moisture. Use before 24 months.
