Default Zaino Group Purchase Time-of-year?

Well, this past weekend was the first sunny and warm weekend this year in North Carolina after a unusually cold winter season for us. I'm now ready to restock my Zaino supply and get to work on my shine again.

How about a group purchase on this stuff? I need Z1, Z2, Z5, Z6, Z7, Z9, Z10 & Z18...it would be cool if a package deal could be offered.

Any Zaino distributors on here able to put something together? I'm ready to order this week.

The other dealers can correct me if I'm wrong but you'll have to make your request to Sal Zaino himself.

The local dealers are unable to offer the product at a discount unless you buy by the case as indicated on the Zaino website.

Sorry :(

OK! Hey Sal, how about a group purchase for Corvette Forum members! Members who swear by your product and are your best type of advertising and referrals! :D

You would be better off to e-mail Sal at http://www.zainobros.com , he does not get a chance to get on the Forums much anymore.

I emailed Sal and he replied asking me to call him. I can't call out long distance from work, so I can't do it today, but I'll see what I can put together for us, assuming he's willing to play along.

I'll keep y'all posted.

I just got off the phone with Sal (great guy, BTW) and he said he would be interested in organizing something after tax season is over. He said with that and some other things going on, he is extremely busy at the moment.

I will try to follow up with this with a new thread in another month or so.

Nice guy, but when I contacted him several weeks ago, he also indicated he was too busy to address my suggestion. Like someone else already said, he needs to get with the program, or hire someone who knows how to do business in the modern way.

Although I use and like Zaino products I really believe that Sal's backwoods approach to doing business is part of the mistique of Zaino. I don't personally think they are SOOOO far superior that the hassle is always worth it. I guess we would be less likely to pay $20 per step/ 5 step system if it was available at Wally World.... :yesnod:

Same here - I need to buy a few things and an on-line ordering system would be great. I bet sales would increase too.

How about it Sal?????
