Shim:

Let me introduce myself. My name is Dean and I live in Fairfax, VA. On June 29, 2006 I picked up my first 2006 BWM 330i. I retired on June 30, 2006.

I purchased the list below of Zaino products about 3 years and had it applied on my GMC Yukon. I love the products and the shin they gave. This was done in El Paso before I relocated to Fairfax.

List:

Show Car Polish Lok 1 un-opened
Show Car Polish for Clear Coat Finishes 2 un-opened
World's Best Car Polish 5 un-opened
Special Effects Accelerator un-opened
Container of Clay Bar w/2 bars un-opened
3 16oz Spray Bottles of Ultra Clean Gloss Enhancer 6 un-opened
Show Car Wash Concentrate 7 un-opened
Leather Soft Spray Cleaner 9 un-opened
Leather in A Bottle 10 (treatment & conditioner) un-opened
Bag of 11 white pad applicators un-used

All have been kept on their original bags and in climate controlled room since purchase.

My question is do you feel any of these might be still good? Would you have to see them to make that call?

I'm also interested in your other threat about doing some work,, I'm in for that.

Also, if any of these are still good I'd donate to your supply.

Thanks,

Dean

Hey Dean,
Zaino has shelf-life info on their website, here's the info:

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-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 18 months.

If they weren't opened, they should still be good. There's no need to donate anything to me. If you decide to sign up for a detail session, I'll just use yours and deduct the costs of materials used accordingly.

Also, welcome to the forum!
