Default Zanio can't stand the cold

All,

Simple question that needs an answer. I figured I'd ask here to see if others have made the same absent-minded mistake.

I leave all my detailing stuff in the garage(where it should be), and it has been bone chillin cold for the past week here.

I let the bottles thaw out in the house. Are they still good?

can cause separation so shake them well before use.

more of a long term problem- in the short term i dont know of any products that would be ruined...

It's hard to say weather a brief freezing would have ruined your Zaino, but you want to avoid leaving your car care products in the garage over the winter. Extended freezing will ruin your car care products.

Thanks guys..

I guess I learned a hard lesson. Hopefully I don't have to throw away two unused bottles

I was surprised to not see any warning labels for storage on the back.

I just looked at a hand full of my products and surprisingly only a small percentage of the bottles have a warning about freezing. I'm surprised. Before I knew to bring my supplies indoors for the winter, I once had to throw out almost my entire supply. Everything seperated and wouldn't mix back together when shaken.

oh shiznit. you'd think I'd know this, but all my stuff has been in the garage so far this season. Of course, it's all along inside walls and my "canary in a coal mine" - a small bottle of water sitting away from the walls - has yet to freeze, even though it's been wicked cold. I guess I'll pull that stuff indoors.

let it get to room temperature,

get a pot of boiling water, heat up the water to boil, then let it sit, allow to get warm, not "hot" as keeping to hot will melt the plastic. Should be hot enough to dip your finger in. Then place your zaino bottle inside for about 30seconds to 1min.. Remove the bottle, wipe the water off, then shake it, add maybe one or 2 drops of zfx and that zaino that froze is now ready to apply..

hope that helps..
