Default Does Zaino go bad?

I got to the final drops of my Zaino today and it's almost 2 yrs old. It seemed like it was harder to remove/wipe off than it usually is. I still have a little left. Should I throw it away and start on my new bottle?
I know I shoudn't have any left after 2 years but I do .

Yes, Zaino has a very short life span. I think you are supposed to use it up within 30 days or it goes bad. Just kidding. I don't use the product, yet, but I know others that do and they love that stuff. You really shouldn't have any left after two years. Break open that new bottle!

As long as it is stored properly (no freezing tempatures) it should last quite awhile. I have heard stories of it going bad and Sal usually replaces it free of charge.

Goes well with orange juice and Mother's carnauba wax pate on crackers, too.

I just ran into the same thing (3 years old). I called Zaino and he said if it shakes up ok and isn't lumpy and stays "suspended" after shaking it, then it should be ok. Extreme Summers and winters won't help, but 3 years is borderline.
