Default Why No Zaino @ Carlisle?

I was at Carlisle all three days and searched for a Zaino tent but never found one? Did anyone see a vendor? I am a devoted Zaino user, but was very disappointed that they didn't make an appearance at Carlisle. You would think that with such a Corvette enthusiast following they would be there? I was ready to puchase more Zaino, but found myself checking out the Adams polishes. Anyone see them?

I looked and looked for them also, but was unable to find them.

I ordered the Zaino’s works about two weeks ago and put on 3 coats already and I love the product.

However, it was very disappointing that I did not find them.

I hope this was not the case. I was just disappointed because I was hyping up Zaino to a friend that recently bought a 2002 Coupe and I commented that Zaino was very popular with the Corvette crowd then they didn't show up to support the Corvette community. He bought some of the Adams polish. They lost a new customer, and repeat business from a long time customer...oh well.

I have not missed a Corvettes at Carlisle since 1988. I do not ever recall seeing a Zaino tent. I am not a user of their products, so I may have over looked it though.

There was always a distributor selling Zaino at the Vette show at Carlisle, it was for many years Checkered Flag Detailing, and they were located IC 21, I was at the booth many times. I have learned he has moved out of the area and sold his business. Zaino will be at Carlisle (all Carlisle events) in the future.

This will happen in 2007, we are to late for the remainder of this year.

That's good to hear...I attend two Carlisle events every year...Corvette's of Carlisle and All Truck Nationals. I was looking for Zaino at the All Truck Nationals show in the beginning of August so I could restock my product for the Corvette show. If Zaino is sold at these events I will no doubt be restocking on something.

Make sure you bring plenty of product. The Checkered Flag guy ran out by noon on Friday. I was over there looking for him at 0800 so I could restock . Glad you will be there next year!
