Expiry Date On ZAINO Products? I haven't used in a year!

Hi all,

I bought the Zaino detailing kit last year (April 2007) and used it for the first time May 2007.

I still have Z5,Z6 etc....all the car wax and polishes in the bottle but my question is, when i do the detailing process again this year to wash and wax, will the zaino products be less effective now?

I notice that the stuff settled at the bottom and am shaking the bottles from time to time again to prepare to wax the car next week.

Thanks.

I have stuff that is a few years old and it still seems to work. The one thing that I did notice is that the ZFX got jello-like, likely from the warm/cold temps in the garage. I've started keeping it in the house now.

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.
