    I recall there was a blurb about Zaino and the *freshness* of it. What is the shelf life of Zaino.



    As far as my other detailing products, 303, 1Z, Menzerna, MMM, etc.....all seem fine just short of it needing a good ole shake.



    The only issues I have with aging is 1Z Glanz in which the solvents evaporated off, and also my EO glass cleaner....dunno if the bottle or it`s the liquid, but it has been stored indoors in a closed cabinet....but the bottle or the liquid is turning a bit yellow.



    My bigger concern is the ZAINO product. I have plenty of Z6/Z5 and plan to order the CS.

    As my detailing hobbys wane down and I don`t have time to play with my combos like Meg #81 glaze followed by #16, etc, I just need a DURABLE product that will last for me between the 2 detailing sessions I plan to do yearly.



    No more wheel washing everyday after work or 2-3X car washes weekly.

    I just don`t have the time with other priorities going on.



    Any Zaino Zealots can chime in. I was just going to do a Polish/Seal with Zaino and my ZFX has evaporated ....which prompted this post.

    From the zaino site:



    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.
