Rich, I am not surprized that you haven't heard from Adam. To be honest he is always extremely busy traveling and promoting his products, to the point of being ridiculous. I would either email him again or contact Heather if you have a particular question you would like an answer for.

To be quite honest I don't find his products any more expensive that Sal Zainos. You get what you pay for. I personally would recommend you try the Buttery Wax at $15.95 and maybe a bottle of Detail Spray at $9.95. You can't lose. If you buy it and for any reason you don't like it he WILL refund your money no questions asked. You spend $50.00, the product doesn't meet your expectations you will get back $55.00. You risk nothing. In looking at the condition of your cars you are not looking to restore your paint, you just want a nice shine and protection. Apply his products with an applicator which I'm sure you have, use either a microfiber towell to remove it or a white good quality cotton towel and sit back in awe.

I have not used Flash Wax so I can render no opinion on quality or service, I'm sure it is a good product with good service.

Rich, I have sent Adam an email referring him to this thread telling him you would like to contact him.

And though i'm sure Adams products are The Bomb, I do believe i'm going to go with the FLASH WAX this time around. Why? because They are a forum member, they advertise on this site and I figure why not give'em a shot.
If our Vette's melt or blow up, i'll let ya's know!

Thanks Again y'all,

Jeff/A.K.A Nytro,

I want to thank you for sending Adam an email. I got a call from him a couple hours ago and he was very apologetic about the missed email. Not sure exactly what happened because Adam still had my email and his computer shows that he sent a response back to me, but I never received it. I guess it is flying around somewhere in cyber space!

I agree Zaino is not cheap, I think the first purchase I made with them was about $80. What I meant about Adam's stuff not being cheap is that he has some rather large packages that runs into the hundreds of dollars. I was not suggesting that it was more expensive than Sal Zaino's stuff. In fact, I am intrigued with some of the items that Adams has. This may sound crazy, but the bucket with the dollies under it really makes sense to me. I am always kneeling down or crouching to get to rockers, or wheels and at my age there is not a lot of cartilage left in the knees. So, that item really strikes a cord with me. But I just did not want to jump into a large package without trying a few small items first. I know the performance I get with Zaino, I would like to see that the Adam's stuff out performs it before making that plunge.

The funny thing is that Adam, although he is from southern California, also has a place in Carlisle, Pa. He is heading down this evening to Parkton, Maryland to meet two of his salesmen. Parkton is only 15 minutes or so from my house. Adam is going to try to stop by either this evening or tomorrow just to BS with me and maybe a brew. I was amazed that he was willing to try to squeeze in some time to talk with his busy schedule. He is flying out of Baltimore tomorrow and headed back to California. He sounds like a great guy and I'll let you know if we are able to hook up.

But thanks for stepping in and helping me out with the connection!

Rich

Guys, I am overwhelmed! I got a call about 6:30 this evening from Adam Pitale from Adam's Premium Car Care Products to let me know that he would be at my house in 15 minutes. Adam delayed a dinner engagement with his two area salesmen and came to show me some of his products. What I did not expect is that Adam walked into my garage with a bucket of products, which I am not even sure yet what is all in there. He looked at my '01 and my '69 and gave me some recommendations. I knew his time was short, but he seemed more concerned about me and my cars than he was about his business dinner. I showed him two minor scratches on the rear fender of the '01 (this was a mystery issue that I noticed after my trip to Florida in August). He immediately opened up my bucket grabbed two products, took the blemishes out, and buffed the spot by hand. Problem gone!

He also notice that I had a box of old cotton towels and he asked whether I used them on the car. I said sure, they are 100% cotton and they work well. He went back out to his truck and got a handful of additional towels (microfiber/cotton maybe). As he was leaving, I asked him what I owed him and he said Merry Christmas.

All I can say is if his products are half as good as Adam was with me tonight my Zaino is for sale!

I told Adam that he should look into become a site sponsor and he told me that he was already looking into it. So hopefully his products will be more readily available to everyone on the site.

Great experience, to say the least! Thanks Nytro!
