    Hi Manny!  Good question.  I highly recommend keeping your products in a temperature controlled environment.  The constant fluctuation of hot & cold isn't great for chemicals.

    Manny,
     
    If anything the products should always be kept in a climate controlled environment if possible. I would worry less about the products getting cold as I would worry about them getting too hot. The most important thing to worry about would be any waxes.
    Also, it might be a little hard to use some of our products if they freeze in your car overnight... just saying.  I would hate for the products to freeze and expand and then leak in your car.

    Manny,
     
    In the past I asked and was told that almost all of the Adam's products have recommended temperature ranges of 45 - 85 degrees for usage and storage.
     
    Rather than keeping some of them in the trunk of your car, even doing mobile service, perhaps it may be time to look into getting an Adam's large travel bag or two to move them from an optimum storage location to your car?
     
    The large bag can old enough 16 ounce bottles, pads, towels, and possibly a polisher to tackle any job you may encounter.

    Adam got a reaction from Ricky Bobby in When does it make sense to order gallons?   
    Well put!  Buy car care products like you are buying MILK!   More because it's cheaper isn't better.  Especially if it ends up expiring.
     
    Another aspect:   We upgrade chemicals often.   Some big ones coming soon.  Overloading on chemicals can be a bummer, especially when you have 3/4 of a gallon of X product, and we re-vamp it!
     
    As for offering concentrates: Great idea!  We have tried that a few times over the past 15 years.  Since the majority of our customers are end users, in their garages, we had problems.  Using full strength.  Mixing improperly.  Also, not using distilled, R/O, other pure water makes chemicals act terribly.  That's asking much of many weekend warriors.
     
    Also, we continuously mix product while it's being filled.   Otherwise, the concentration is frequently inconsistent.
     
    My point:  Dilute a bottle of Rinseless 80% with tap water, and give it a try.  Then, dilute 80% with reverse-osmosis water, and you will be BLOWN AWAY!  The difference in water is so wide, and people often had issues, which we eventually nailed down to the water quality, or mixing system.
     
    Still, when it comes to degreasers, like All Purpose Cleaner, if we sold concentrate, and it was used with high-mineral content water, like anyone with a well, or who lives in the desert, it will not rinse clean.  White residue from the minerals in the water are a drag!
     
    Some of our international distributors certainly get concentrates, and we go through the education process on getting pure water, and effectively mixing.

    Adam got a reaction from Ryans09G8 in Apology: Dispenser Pumps on Brilliant Glaze STINK!   
    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.

    I usually work on speed 5 or 6 when doing any type of correction work, no matter the pad material (foam or MF). However, depending on your clear coat, different speeds might work out better.
