So cleaning out my detail cabinets at home, I have the whole collection of Menzerna sealants and polishes like FPII, IP etc and Klasse AIO and SG - it's about 3 years old. Always in room temperature and out of sunlight.

Anyways, is this stuff still good to use? Reason why it's been so long is that I switched everything to Zaino and now I am looking for other products to replace Zaino. The system is too time consuming for a weekend warrior like myself with the mixing bottles etc.

:buffing::dblthumb2:

If they haven't separated, they should be fine. I have some Klasse AIO that's over 5 years old that works fine....

Any reason for switching from Zaino?

I'm still on a bottle of Z2, and thinking of trying something else once its all used up. I'm a little apprehensive though, I've used Zaino exclusively for about 7 years now and love it- easy to apply, remove, and it stands up to the elements very well.

Sorry for the thread hijack!

I was in the same position as you--switched to DG products for less cost--better availability with equal durability and have no regrets.

not really, after going though all my stuff - i still have about 75% of Zaino left - I have the whole collection and I will say it works well. i am starting to think that i'll just stick with zaino for this year.

anyone have opinions on the Z-PC Fusion? Better than Menzerna IP or FPII?

isn't it made by the same company, was it Zaino or DG or vice versa? ;):coolgleam:

Thank you for the post, I'll need to look into DuraGloss and their product line- the prices are VERY reasonable.

I've never used the FPII, but the Fusion doesn't work as well as the IP. I tried both on a black STS-V last weekend. The test spot of Fusion looked good, but I had to go over it with the Menzerna IP to get all of the fine scratches out.

same here to save some money, especially the QD sprays.:xyxthumbs:

and is it all chemically the same I assume?

Don't know if they're exactly the same, but the list should enable you to find reasonable substitutes :D
