Decided to trade in my 2008 Gallardo and picked up this beauty.  Can't wait to hit it with my Adam's products first thing tomorrow.
 

Friends, I failed to test the red dispenser pumps on the Brilliant Glaze, Paint Correcting Polish, and Metal Polishes.  We started sending bottles out with them installed anyway.  Fact is, they work terribly.  Awfully. Bad.  And I'm not overstating this performance failure.  These caps are a BAD fit for several products, and I owe you an apology for sending out a product without testing the method that dispenses it.
 
The pumps work okay with some products, like VRT, Leather Conditioner, Shampoo,  Buttery Wax, Liquid Paint Sealant, and Rinseless Wash.  (Some hate the pumps altogether, and I can understand that.)
 
I apologize for not spending more time testing these pumps.   We don't often have failures of this level, and this was a big one. I blew it, and I'm sorry to have made your detailing experience less awesome.
 
So, now it's time to make it right.  Here is a link to the dispenser caps, which have an official price of $0.99 for 3 caps, which includes shipping.

HOWEVER:  If you have any product with a pump, and don't like the way it performs, we will send you replacement push-pull dispenser caps, FREE! 
 
Kindly use the code, "CAPS" which will make the purchase free. 
 
Have thoughts on this?  Post away!   Care to email me personally on this?  Adam@AdamsPolishes.com
 
Thanks, I again apologize, and appreciate your loyalty.

Just to add my $0.02, if you use one often, the gas powered units are more durable.  At or below 3000psi, you are safe.   If you get closer than 12" to your finish, you are asking for trouble.  Shockingly, Honda motors will outlast just about any pump you buy.  Costco sells a unit for $300 that is a serious bargain:

If you are looking for an inexpensive, yet effective electric unit, here is a good deal on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Briggs-Stratton-20600-Electric-Detergent/dp/B013BM8B72/ref=pd_sim_sbs_86_4?ie=UTF8&dpID=41zuJtXHpVL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR133%2C160_&refRID=0J9557NRQJBT3C5GEQTA
 
We typically get 2-3 years from our gas-powered pressure washers before the pumps die, and we work them HARD!  Be sure to put fuel stabilizer in the tank before winter, and you will enjoy many effective blastings!

We have this one at our shop.  NOT made in the USA, but a sturdy unit.  For the price, it's very hard to beat.

Thanks Dylan!  Just upgraded your title.....

Working in the same building Cyclos are made as I do now, and having worked at Adam's as the development guy who brought the current generation pads to market I can shed some light on this -
 
The pads will 'work' with the Cyclo ProGuard plates, but I wouldn't recommend it. The overhang 'bumper' of the ProGuard hangs out awkwardly beyond the edges of any of the Adam's pads. If you're running a factory Cyclo Model 5 with ProGuard plates I'd recommend sticking to Genuine Cyclo Accessories, including the pads. 

If you want to run Adam's pads I'm certain they can set you up with the Adam's backing plates. No sense in risking an issue over a relatively inexpensive part that can be changed out to suit whatever direction you want to go. Your Cyclo would have shipped with the flat wrench to easily swap out plates/attachments. If you need one Adam's or Cyclo can help you get one. 

Great choice as well

Hello Friends-
 
It's been an incredible ride, and over the past 9+ years, we have made hundreds of friends through this little company.
 
I'm honored to have your business, your friendship, and recommendation to your friends, co-workers, and family members. We are not a huge company, cannot advertise in magazines or television, and rely primarily on word-of-mouth for our sales.
 
You keep us alive, help us grow, give us feedback to help us get better, and for that, we cannot thank you enough!
 
We are going to be introducing some exciting new products, and will improving our existing line again for 2009. We're going to be asking for advice and input from you while testing, and thank you in advance for helping us develop and market the best car care products available.
 
I've been detailing bicycles since the age of 8, and cars since age 10. Today, I still detail our vehicles, and dozens of vehicles each year at the many clinics and shows we attend. (Mostly, however, I detail classic Schwinn bicycles, a hobby that I picked up originally, nearly 30 years ago!)
 
Clearly, we are not genius' here, that's for sure! However, if you have a product request, or are unsatisfied with the advice provided by friends, videos, FAQ's, or staff here, just ask me! Shoot an email over to us directly, anytime: Tips@AdamsPolishes.com
 
Thanks again for being here, for chiming in to answer other enthusiast's questions, and for being a part of our family!
 
Sincerely,
 
Adam Pitale

We pretty much guarantee everything for life, with the exception of power tools, and other things that wear our, like towels, buffing pads, clay bars, etc.
 
We have used our pressurized bottles to death, and they don't die.

Ok, so if there is an Adam's booth next year there needs to be a contest for a forum member to get to attend along with the team.
 
Too awesome you got to meet Chip Foose!
