i found quite a little stash of zaino products when i was cleaning out my garage the other day, the stuff has got to be at least 5 years old. i've got about 1/4 bottle of z5, 1/2 bottle of the leather conditioner, 4 open bottles of z2 (all at least 3/4 full), and 3 bottles of z6 (all at least 3/4 full).



does anyone know if they are still any good? the z2 had all seperated, but i shook them up and they look like they did when new. i loved the z6 when i used to use it... if i can still use it, i don't think i'll have to buy another qd or gloss enhancer for a longggggg time since i also have a couple bottles of megs qd and some nxt, heh.
 
Have they been through and freezes and thaws? To be honest, your best bet is to contact Zaino directly and get the right answer.
 
From the Zaino 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.
 
Z-12 For optimum results, use before 2 years.



As for the glass polish, I used it yesterday and I had to use a tooth pick to get the hard dried polish out. I always store all my Zaino in my closet inside the house.

No problem.

These are only approximate shelf life figures.

The leather conditioner if stored in a stable temperature environment, if it still smells like leather and is not dried out should still be okay. One sniff will let you know.



I have Z2 and Z5 that are over 6 years old and still function perfectly but their final appearance is different (outstanding gloss) then the newer Z-Pro series (gloss plus carnuaba-like appearance features).

The old versions are great for wheels also because of the gloss.
