Default Refridgerating Zaino

Yup, I'm cheap. A month ago I did my 93 with Z2 and Z5 (ZFX added to each). Well, I ended up doing 2 coats of each by the time I tired out and it got too late. There was still plenty of Zaino in each bottle. All the instructions said to trash whatever was left, if its not used in 12 hours.

Well, I'm cheap, and poor :D so I decided to put the mixes in the fridge. I put a coat of each on today..... The result... PERFECT!!! I think my vette actually has a better shine now than it did the first time!!

SO, for those of you that wonder, or care, or never thought about it. Dont toss that left over zaino, put it in the fridge!!!

btw, has anyone else done this before?

You do have to toss it after 12 hours, you will just loss most of the ZFX effect, the polish can still be used if kept air tight in a cool place, I have used "left over" ZFX mixtures days and weeks later, but if exposed to air for a long time it can and will thicken. :)

What I did was cover the botte with plastic wrap, then put the cap on, and stuck it in the fridge. Both the Z2/ZFX combo and Z5/ZFX came out perfect today. I took em out before I started washing the car, so they were up to temp by the time I applied them.

Btw, it was 100 degrees today (maybe a bit less in the shade) and thats the last time I will Zaino when its this hot and humid!!! Sweat was commin out of me faster than I could get water in :smash:
