Couple of Zaino questions
What's the shelf life of Z2? I have some Z-2 that's not the original pink, it's orangish and about 4-5 years old. Is it still good?
Also, do I need ZFX additive to use the Z-2, or can I use it without it?
I've also got a bottle of Z5, don't know about discoloration but it's also about 4-5 years old. Same question--shelf life of the stuff and do I need ZFX?
Thanks.

From their website:
What is the usable shelf life of Zaino products?
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-2 - For optimum results, use before 3 years.
Z-3 - For optimum results, use before 3 years.
Z-4 - 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 3 years.
Z-12 - For optimum results, use before 3 years.
Z-14 - For optimum results, use before 3 years.
Z-16 - 5+ years.
Z-18 - 5+ years.
ZFX - For optimum results, keep tightly capped, avoiding moisture. Use before 18 months.
Z-AIO -For optimum results, use before 3 years.
Z-PC - For optimum results, use before 3 years.
Z-CS - 5+ years.
They say you should use ZFX or Clear Seal or AIO for the first coat each year for optimal results. I think plenty of people don't and haven't noticed any difference.
