NO MORE POLISHING!
Zoopseal Seals Out Oxidation

The Beauty of Polished Billet
Nothing beats the look of polished billet parts—that is, if you like polished billet. And there’s nothing as much of a pain in the butt to maintain as polished billet parts. It’s fun for a couple of times, and then the Zen-like wax-on/wax-off appeal fades pretty quickly, along with the luster of the polished parts themselves. What would you say if you didn’t have to polish your shiny billet parts anymore? Well, we know what we would say!
Introducing Zoopseal
For a while now, we’ve been talking with the boys at Zoops during their rather extensive testing of a new product, and discovered that this product is simply astounding, and is everything Zoops hoped it would be.
Proven Results
Zoops, as you know, makes some very nice billet engine accessory parts and pulleys, and it has extensive experience in keeping these parts looking good. We had to see for ourselves the claims being made, and we have examined parts that were coated one year before, exposed to the elements on a daily basis, and they look as if they were polished the same day we laid eyes on them.
Versatility and Protection
This is an easy-to-apply product that was designed to prevent dulling and oxidation of aluminum, retaining the polished brightness and luster. Actually, Zoopseal also works on brass, stainless steel, fiberglass, and anodized parts. It’s a natural product for your car. You can seal your engine pieces, wheels, dash bezels, trim and more.
Demonstration and Development
We watched as Zoops Products’ Tisa Weisz coated a variety of polished parts and then demonstrated the product’s toughness against several chemicals. Weisz and partner Shelley Amador have been developing Zoopseal for several years with the aid of parent corporation Zoops. Now they are ready for market.
Application and Coverage
Zoopseal is designed to prevent dulling, but understand that it won’t make your ragged parts look better. It will keep them looking exactly as they do when you seal them, so polish up the parts as best you can and then clean them mercilessly with the special cleaner supplied with the Zoopseal kit. Each kit can cover about 60 square feet (definitely your entire engine, including pulleys, brackets, valve covers and so on).
PRODUCT UPDATE
Zoopseal is now ShineSeal, offering the same exceptional protection for your polished aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals with a new name and expanded benefits. ShineSeal is an environmentally green product that preserves the luster of polished surfaces while protecting against oxidation, rusting, staining, and weathering. Unlike traditional coatings, ShineSeal chemically bonds with the metal, sealing its pores to prevent deterioration while retaining the original appearance. Ideal for automotive, marine, aerospace, and even household applications, ShineSeal eliminates the need for frequent polishing and ensures a show-polished finish for up to two years. Plus, it’s safe, easy to apply, and can withstand temperatures up to 700°F.
