Zainos ZFX Question
I was planning on giving my baby a Z2/Z5/Z2 treatment before the nasty weather arrives. Today was a sunny 15C, but when I went to create my Z2 with 4-5 drops of ZFX, my ZFX was pretty much solid. The tiny tube of goodness, was a tiny tube of jello. So, no Z2 and Z5 treatment.
What the heck is going on. Did I do something wrong on storing the ZFX (had it since June), or did I miss something. Any assistance/insights/guidance from the boards Zainos experts is appreciated ! There will not be too many more nice days left in Toronto if I need to reapply Zainos !! |

i dont really know what the problem is here, but maybe take the ZFX inside first to warm it up. 59 F is a bit chilly, maybe bring it up to room temp first and try. good luck

If warm-up doesn't help, I'd contact Zaino...
From the Zaino Web 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-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. ==================== .

Guys -
Thanks for the insights. I've had the ZFX inside for 24 hrs + at a comfie 76F, but not luck. Still like jello. I send an email for the Zaino site. Hope would be a replacement on the ZFX. Otherwise, more $$ and I'll have to wait for spring. |

I emailed the Canadian distributor of Zaino today (Sunday). I received an email back indicating he would send a replacement to the location I originally bought it from. How's that for customer service !
He mentioned to keep the cap very tightly closed and store it indoors. I've been very impressed with the products, and now, even more impressed with the level of service. Zaino all the way ! |
