Zaino ZFX Dried up

Zaino ZFX Dried up
So I washed my G this weekend and got an unpleasant surprise when I wanted to start waxing it. I took out my ZFX kit and put 1 ounce of z2 polish into the bottle. Then I opend up the ZFX and nothing comes out. I look closely at the bottle and it dried up and turned into a gel. I was so pissed. I just bought it in May of this year. I only used it like 4 times since then. So I called up my Zaino rep and he replaced it for me. He told me that there were a few others who had the same problem. Of course when I went there I got suckered into buying more Zaino stuff but hey I had to try the new Z8 (smells like peaches) and Leather in a bottle. Man I'm a sucker.
I stored it in it's containter fully capped and in a shaddy spot in my apartment. I don't know if it's just the hot weather in Hawaii or maybe just a bad batch. I think I'm going to store it in our wine cellar from now on.
Just wanted to let everyone know if they bought the ZFX kit to check it and make sure it didn't dry up.

I'd like to ask a question. First off I really like Zaino products, BUT-
Is ZFX necessary if you are only doing a single coat of polish on the same day and it is warm out?
I have given my G35 1 coat of Z5 and 2 coats of Z2 this summer, but on separate days without ZFX with no problems.
I read this thread this morning and I gave my G another coat of Z2 but this time with ZFX. I really didn't notice any difference. .
What's the scoop? Is it only benificial if it is cooler , high humidity and you want to do multiple coats in the same day. Or is it just a gimmic to sell another product.

Just a tip for you Zaino junkies like me - when you have 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, whatever coats on the car and are happy with it's durability, try applying a coat of carnuba, like mothers, poorboys natty, souveran... it really adds to the depth of the finish. It's less durable, so you'll have to re-apply every 2-3 weeks, but it does look very good over Zaino.

I did, however, bring the ZFX inside as a precaution. I guess maybe I just lucked out, but I see no warning on the bottles to avoid temperature "extremes."

typically you won't find this on the warning label, however i can tell you from experience that there are products out there that will chemically seperate due to time or exposure to extreme temps. while 90 may not necessarily be considered extreme, it's generally better idea to leave that kind of stuff indoors or in a cool shaded area. same applies in the winter.

SaltiDawg was right there is no warning label.
