There a few other places that carry it. Detailer's Domain is one. Don't know if the prices are any different. I just order straight from Adam's. I have the package in 2-3 days.

Northeast, IL.

Also I have 09 corvette. How much do I have to worry about going through the clearcote with a polisher? I was at your booth at the show in Rosemont and was really impressed with help I received on what to use and they didn't try to sell me anything I didn't need. That's just good business. Jim

Virtually impossible with a random orbital and foam pad. The Corvette clear coat is very hard. You'd have to use a super aggressive compound, pad, lots of pressure, and basically be trying your darndest to burn your paint. Even then, I don't think you could do it. The machine does not drive the pad to spin, so if you bear down too hard, the pad just stops moving. It's about the closest thing to idiot proof there is.

X2. Just about the only way to damage the paint with a PC or similiar is to drop it on the car. The PC7424XP is very user friendly. You will have it down in no time.

I don't know of any other places that sells Adam's products. I buy a bunch of their products a few times each year from the website. I usually order the products with standard ground delivery and always get the products within 2 to 3 days.

They post specials and discount codes often on this forum.

They go to several car shows a year with a big display. Well that is the case at Carlisle. They have a user froum and it lists the shows, Check to see if any are near you.

Here is the list of US dealers from their site. Maybe the ones in Naperville or St Charles are close to you.
I've always bought directly from Adam's, and like others I tend to get my products within 2 or 3 days. Forum members get a discount, plus they have daily and weekly specials.
