Default Does Zaino Expire?

Good Day

I bought a zaino kit several years ago and never got around to using it after reading the instructions and figuring that it would take a full day to a day and a half to go thru all the steps.

Fast forward to today and I am now inspired to finally use it. Does anyone know if the zaino products degrade over time or expire? Thoughts?

Thanks

See if there's any info on the zaino site about shelf life, or you can call them. Someone here may know, there are a lot of zaino users here.

Yes, I believe each product does have an expiration date. Check the website, I think I found it there, otherwise send them an email and Sal will respond and give you the specifics.

pretty sure it does go bad. I end up using it all year and taking a break in the summer and I will usually toss what left and order an fresh bottle.

I've been using Zaino for over 14 years.
Great stuff.

: 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.
