    Polish Longevity?

    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.

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

    Re: Polish Longevity?

    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?

    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.
