does wax go bad?

[vinny2]

is a 2 year old bottle of Zaino still effective, or does it "expire"?

You will be ok with a 2yr. old bottle...just check for any separation/drying and shake well. Usually after 3-4 yrs...products show shelf age. Varies with products...for instance the leather treatment should be used in 1-2 yrs ...if older....discard.

zaino isnt good from the get go. find a better wax and use it.

but always shake well regardless.

Oh man, here we go with another wax, or in this case, polish debate. I would rather watch politicians debate.

I agree, it will be OK. It will show separation in the clear bottle, so I understand your concern. Shake well.

Should be no problem. I have had waxes for years, just keep them sealed up tight. My leather balm (hide food), I keep in the refrigerator and it does not separate.

94RT10Ohio, i just have to get my opinon in on zaino. not looking to stir up another debate with it.

i also answered the question if ya didnt see.

I wouldn’t think wax would go bad, but I keep my Pinnacle in the a/c and when it gets to the bottom of the cup, I’ll nuke it to get the wax on the sides to soften and come together.
NOTE: very important! Make sure on the Pinnacle, you put the wax it a microwavable container and only nuke for a few seconds. Don’t ask how I know this. Trust me on this one:-(

Be careful not to leave it in the garage where it can freeze. After that, el-pitcho!
