Zaino users. If you are still using the old forumla Z2... switch now!
I've used zaino since the mid-late 90's on the mustang and exclusively on the GTI with the ZFX addative so I'm no stranger to it.
The bottle of Z2 I had been using on the GTI was bought in early 2002 and was still the old forumlation of Z2.
The bottle I just ordered a few months back is the new forumla (one of the reasons I ordered it)
Zaino has always been an amazing product but this new Z2 blows the old out of the water!!! You can tell the difference by shaking the bottle. Old Z2 coats the sides and sticks.... new Z2 refuses to stick to the bottle in any way shape or form! If you used ZFX with old Z2 you could never get all of it out of the little application bottle and had to toss it out... with new Z2 it again... refuses to stick to the bottle and washes out easily. The colors are slightly different too... old Z2 being more of an orangy pink (at least mine was)
now... new Z2 actually goes on easier and thinner than old, it dries faster (even in humid weather!) and comes off much easier. It has less static as well... with old Z2 I would wipe the towel across and it would make static noises and stuff would stick to the car. Not so with new Z2. Old Z2 beaded nicely but with new Z2 water absolutely refuses to stick to the car. Hell soap won't stick to it even... nothing seems to! All those bugs I collected on my road strip rinsed off with water... with old Z2 I would have had to scrub some still. When I dried I barely had to pass the towel over the car and the water practically lept off the paint to the towel.... there was also less water retained in cracks.
I have never had a car wash and dry so fast and so easy!!!
So even if you have an entire bottle of old z2 left.. chunk it and get a new one!!!!!
ok sorry for the long post
