Re: ZFX Problem Help!

doesn't matter how tight you seal it, there's tons of air in the bottle w/ the ZFx cuz there's so little to begin with. it's like more expensive than gold by weight

What constitutes old? I've never seen an expiration date so I would expect the ZFX to stay good almost indefinitely, especially for the liquid crack price charged for it. Sounds like several people have had completely untouched bottles dry out - or even if they were partially used you can't just make the assumption that the customer failed to seal the container.

So yeah, it is Sal's problem. So is the issues that people have been having with the new Zaino polishing compound when following the directions to the T.

As I stated, and as stated on the Zaino website, ZFX has a shelf life of 18 months. Sal is very good about replacing any bad product (regardless of how long one has had it).

What exactly are the problems with Z-PC Fusion? I haven't heard of any.

It can easily add swirl marks instead of remove them unless you do it a certain way (which is not listed as a requirement on the instructions.

Do a search.

Ha. That's called user error, not product error. You could state that fact about most any polish on the market. I've been using Z-PC for a while and never had that problem. If you correctly work the polish (so that it breaks down), there will be no problems...that's the exact same as any other polish out there.

It doesn't matter if you work it front to back, side to side, etc. The important factor is working it fully.

The people who've been having problems have described their process and it was identical to if not above and beyond the instructions on the container.

I can't believe I'm arguing with a guy named ZaneO about Zaino.

I guess you missed the part where my name is Zane Oliver...

If it bothers you, check around a little. I've been around the detailing scene (far beyond this site) for a while now, and I use tons of products other than Zaino.

Have a good day.
