SPEEDY168 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Just curious but I have never read about anyone using ZMAX in any of these forums. Mr. Shelby advertises for them so it must be good right ? Does anyone actually use it ? Did it work ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clark17357 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Mr. Shelby does promote these products. In fact, when I had my car into the Mod Shop for a few goodies, when I got it back, I had a ZMAX kit in the trunk. I used to use Zaino products and now use Showcar's products so I never even tried the ZMAX stuff. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ingram4868 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Do you think the NASCAR drivers really use all those products that they promote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slabo Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I thought ZMAX were additives for oil (engine/tranny) and fuel? Don't think it would put it on your paint. Just like I would not put ICE in my engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIAMike Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Snake Oil and not the good kind. The FTC sued them for false and misleading advertising. See this web site: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2001/02/zmax1.shtm FIA Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Yikes. "The agency alleges that enhanced performance claims for the product are unsubstantiated, that tests cited to support performance claims actually demonstrated that motor oil treated with zMax produced more than twice as much bearing corrosion than motor oil alone, and that the three different products - an engine additive, a fuel line additive and a transmission additive - were all actually tinted mineral oil."

Carrol said in the white supersnake/zmax commercial that all his Shelbys have it..........yeah right, I'll say anything for money too !! Yeah maybe all of HIS have it, but not all the ones coming out of his shop do!!! In the world of advertising it's not what you say but how you say it!!! As far as it goes he may put it in (a teaspoon full) and drain it right out, and the truth remains that he put it in his engine. Also just like stated above, if the box is in the trunk he can make a statement like..." I put it in all my cars" where in reality he put it in the trunk, not necessarily in the engine. Just my .02.

Yeah but we all know it's a bunch of hooey. He doesn't put it in the SS and he said it's in there... it's a lie. Yes you can spin it any way you want but everyone knows it's still just a lie. If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck then it's probably a duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong I don't think it's right to lie about it, The point I was making is there is always someone, somewhere that will dance around to get away with it...... Bill didn't inhale, Monica didn't .......... you know and Phelps got crap because he did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Bill and Monica thing heh I actually respect Phelps for just being honest... I mean hell he was basically caught anyway, but at least he owned up to it.
