Hand wax applicator question

[hardwork]

I know AG does not sell there products here but I was wondering if anyone used the Adams hex grip Americana hand applicator for applying waxes like blackfire midnight sun? The pad seems like it would fit well in your hand over a regular flat applicator

Autogeek does carry a similar product. Wolfgang Polishin’ Pal is an ergonomically shaped urethane handle that holds specially designed foam pads using hooks & loops.

I don't have any problems using a regular foam applicator though.

id go with polishin pal, will last longer and you can replace the foam.

i'm sure they both work great / better than a typical foam pad, however is it worth the extra $ to you

You can use the polishing pal with diff std 4-in std pads so not dedicated to one product plus you can use the pad on a DA so two different application method (hand vs machine). :xyxthumbs:

^very good point, can use same pads for rotary,da, and hand use 3 different "machines" yet 1 pad....

The secret is to have a justification (excuse) to buy something new.rops:

Megs has a similar tool. I use the small 4 inch size. The link below is for the 6 inch I can't find the smaller one listed here.

I have several hex grip applicators from various vendors, incuding Adam's. I like that I can squeeze them into tight places that the polishen' pal won't fit. The one that comes with Adam's Americana wax is the same one that came with my Ultima interior guard+. I thought ACC sold them separately, but I just looked and didn't see it.
I hate applying waxes and sealants with those stupid wafers, so I am always trying different applicators.
This is another option that works well.CCS Euro Foam Hand Polish Applicators - Hand polish, hand detail, foam applicators, CCS foam pads, polishing pad

I use CCS Eurofoam and P21S applicators. They do the job.
