Its a scam...

First lawsuit vs. them by the FTC...
http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2001/02/zmax1.shtm

I can't find the link right now, but it was later broken down into its base parts.. It is just mineral oil with some purple dye.

If you are that anxious to waste $39... I would be happy to have you send it to me.. I promise I will spend it on cold beer....

I won't buy anything with Shelby's name on it. Pay him enough and he'll put his name on a corn filled turd and tell you it's gold.

Wasn't that the commercial where they would drain the oil and pack it full of dirt while running at WOT? Entertaining to say the least- almost as much as Ron Popiel and his spray on hair.
