Richard discovered Adam’s Premium Car Care Products at the Concorso Italiano in Monterey, California in 2007. He
quickly recognized that everyone in the Central Coast BMW Club used Adam’s. The following day while attending a race
at Laguna Seca Speedway, he purchased his own Adam’s products and never looked back! When he and his wife moved
to North Carolina, he researched the area for Adam’s dealers or distributors and found none. He contacted Adam personally, and the rest is history!
