Adam, I appreciate your response and I will move on, but you should also understand that there are other American made options out there that your marketing and research team missed. Knowing that fact and the fact that you originally designed the billet aluminum jars to accept the hex applicator for a reason... All I ask is that you consider it in the future and have your people do a little more research next time. Let's face it, Patriot Wax is not something the average Adams customer is going to cough up the money to purchase. Granted, I don't spend a lot of time on your forums; but I have been buying your products since you started your business. I understand you won't be able to make 100% of the people happy 100% of the time, but I certainly hope you won't dismiss a loyal Customer's suggestion who has been buying your products from the start. I'll still purchase the Patriot Wax in the future no matter what container it comes in because it is without a doubt the best wax I have ever used. I just think it's a great product now that could be perfect for people like me who only use a hex grip applicator to apply wax whether it's paste or liquid. I've tried every type of foam applicator you have and nothing holds a candle to the hex grip applicator. Consider me moved on... And I hope you have a great Holiday season! Pat

Trust me... I love Patriot Wax probably more than anyone and giving it up or returning it is not a consideration. Yes, I used the original Patriot Wax in the machined aluminum block, but I do not have the container because it was my brothers and he's still using it. If I had that container, this wouldn't even be an issue so if someone wants to donate one to me... I would be happy to accept! As far as the comments about the container being "in line" with other paste containers on the market... I don't buy Adams products to be in line with the rest of the industry, I buy them because they are a step above the competitors. I do not like the UFO applicator because it's too large and wastes product. The applicator that came with the Patriot Wax is huge compared to the container itself. Yes, I can cram a normal sized hex applicator into the container; but again... That's not the point. It took me all of 5 minutes to find customized tins online built by American companies which would perfectly fit the hex pad applicator so don't start preaching to me about silly thin pours or divots in the wax. I buy Adams products because they are the best and I won't apologize for expecting the best when I purchase their highest end wax (which contrary to everyone else's belief, also includes the container it's delivered in). I don't care what the rest of the industry is doing. Hell, even Turtle Wax comes in a wide mouthed low profile container. I'm just sayin'!

The best shot I could get was with the tin upside down on a blue hex grip applicator. You can get a good idea how much smaller the tin is in the picture. I'm sure anyone who had the opportunity to use the Patriot Wax in the machined aluminum block would agree with the ease of using a hex applicator to apply it. My point is... Why should I be forced to use a smaller applicator than the original Patriot Wax applicator? I didn't buy Americana, I bought Patriot Wax and I don't think a lower profile tin with an opening the size of the machined block is asking too much for a $100 container of wax. Besides, I would imagine most of the cost of the original Patriot Wax was wrapped up in that machined aluminum block and the fact that some of the proceeds went to charity.

Just got my hands on the latest version of the new Patriot Wax. I can't wait to use it. However, I've got to say that I'm extremely disappointed with the packaging. Why on earth would you choose a tin too small to fit a hex pad applicator? It makes absolutely no sense and you completely missed the mark after the first offering of the machined aluminum block. I hope you can correct this unfortunate oversight in the future because you are doing Patriot Wax a huge disservice by making the container too small to fit anything to apply it with. I understand trying to get the cost down to make it more affordable, but not to the point where you make it's container more difficult to use.

Sweet! I'll be anxiously awaiting the next program. It will be like Christmas in the Summertime!

Thanks to my very generous brother "McDuff", I just had the pleasure of trying the Patriot Wax on my SRT8 Charger and Maxima. Just like Chewy said... People that don't have it, have NO idea what they're missing! It was an amazing experience and I've never used anything even close to this incredible wax. Before using it, I actually laughed when my brother told me how much it costs; but I'm not laughing now. After he told me how many vehicles he's used it on and after using it myself, I would actually pay that price to get some of my own. It is just that much better than anything else I've ever used and I'm still blown away by how easy it is to both apply and remove. What a fantastic product and if it is no longer available, I would hope Adam would seriously reconsider making it available again.

I just ordered the new stuff so I guess only time will tell. I hope I can agree with the people who already like it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed in the mean time.

Don't get me wrong... I love Adam's products. However, I was using the Waterless Wash almost as much as I used the Detail Spray. Now, I hardly use the Waterless Wash at all because not only does it smell different, but it also doesn't work as well as the old version did. It just doesn't seem to have the same ease of wiping it off as the old version or the shine left over when finished. I go through a tremendous amount of Detail Spray and I would hate to see it suffer the same fate. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it doesn't and save judgement until I've tried it, but I wish more companies would stick with the old saying... "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Change for the sake of change isn't always good and I still wish I could get the old Waterless Wash back.

I just hope the smell doesn't change because I was highly disappointed when the Waterless Wash changed. If it does, I'll be buying up all of the old stuff I can get my hands on.
