0 AmyAtAdamsAustralia Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I believe that the manufacturer cannot produce them as fast as Adam's can sell them. "Hex Grip Applicators, supplied by our #1 worst performing vendor, when they informed us that instead of a crazy 8-week lead time, there is now a 16-20 week lead time, can go BYE BYE! They couldn't fill our orders when there was an 8 week lead time, and now, 20? That's insane, and they couldn't make enough to fill orders for half that long." http://www.adamsforums.com/topic/26264-you-askwhy-have-we-removed-products-from-our-site/ We have some remaining if you're keen to purchase from Australia (Given that no other options are available) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Masaharu Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I believe they were one of the discontinued products weren't they? The supplier had difficulty keeping up with the demand. I really liked them too though. You can still find them, but they just can't be purchased from Adam's. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Sorry Donny, they went bye bye with all of the other Hex Grip Applicators. Check around with some of our dealers, it's very likely that some of them are still floating around out there in the wild! http://www.adamspolishes.com/t-dealer_search.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Phil @ Detailers Domain has some if you need, I grabbed one a few months back, as well as a yellow Hex Buttery applicator. The Hex Grips are made by American Buffing Co., obviously they need to step up their manufacturing game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Fphillips Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) I started using the foam block and really liking it. Edited May 12, 2014 by Fphillips Ricky Bobby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Love the foam block, nice thing about them is you buy them in a 3 pack and can probably get a year out of each for use (after getting really soiled even after a bunch of APC I end up throwing it out), for $2 each its a no brainer ArmyAcadia09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kingsford Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) I feel good about this! I took a chance and bought 15 of the "Defective" ones that were on clearance for like $3 a piece and I still have about 9 left. I've tried some other brands of these but sadly (especially because this is from the worst supplier) nothing has come close... I really like the Hex Grips but they are getting hard to find.

Yeah I bought a couple of those and I agree these are my favorite kind of applicator for the tires. I'm going to reach out to a couple of the dealers and see if they have any.

0 DaveVY Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Love the hex grip tire applicators. Good to know they are gone now, will be sure to keep my existing ones as long as possible since replacing them won't be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Kingsford Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I wash mine with Dawn after about 5-6 uses. Gets rid of the greasy feeling and restores them a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 2quikta Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 It seems harder to find any of the hex applicators, adams dealers or otherwise. I can find the revive blue most places, but the Americana, buttery, or even the blk/red are hard to find. Which sucks, because I like the hex grips a lot more than the ufo or microfiber for wax, glaze, and sealant applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gen9Rolla Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I wish there was a way to get more of the hex grips too. They're so easy and comfortable to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Furious Shine Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) Furious shine has the yellow, blue and the black tire hex applicators Thanks for the mention! My supply is getting lower every day, but I still have some left! Being a newer Dealer not everyone knows me yet ;-) Here is what I have as of this moment: 3 - Adams Americana Premium Wax & Glaze Applicator 6 - Adams Hex Grip Blue Car Polish Applicator 16 - Adams Hex Grip Tire Dressing Applicator 2 - Adams Hex Grip Yellow Car Wax Applicator I also still have some of the other hard to find items (Turbo Tool, Single Soft Towels, Carpet Brush, Tire Brush, & Leather & Interior Brush!

0 Kingsford Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 You can also Google "Hex Grip Applicator" and find a ton of them on the web for sale. Adam's bought these from a distributor so they will not be the only ones that supply them. Heck you can even buy a case of 96. Norton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 eric@thompsonracing.us Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I have a bunch of the Pro Tire Applicators in stock, as well as a lot of orange and blue hex grips. Also, I have a few of the flip pads in stock. I have been using the Flip Pads for polishing aluminum and they work amazing! The orange works well with the Metal Polish #1 and the Blue side works with MP #2. Colors are swapped!!

0 eric@thompsonracing.us Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Also, if you are looking for a product, feel free to contact me. Even if I don't have it in stock, I don't carry the volume Adam does, so I may be able to justify placing small orders, as long as I get enough interest. eric@thompsonracing.us Edited May 14, 2014 by eric@thompsonracing.us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Odds and Ends Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 The supply problem with these applicators isn't the foam but the actual grip. The grip is what has been discontinued by the manufacturer, so nobody is able to get these any longer. Speaking of discontinued items. I also continue to stock many of the products such as Boar's Hair Wheel Brushes, FIre Hose Nozzles, Turbo Sticks, etc. Get in touch for more info. - Darryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Adam Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 The manufacturer stopped producing them friends, we liked them too! One of the many companies that went south over the long winter.

0 Kingsford Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Hope so! Love how the Hex Grip felt in my hands. Especially since mine are going south quick as well from typing all day on a computer at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 scott750 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Sad to see these all disappear! As I really liked them, like everyone else.

THERE IS A GREAT REPLACEMENT COMING SOON.... Adam, do you have a time frame when the new applicators will be released? And will this be for the entire line of hex applicators (wax, polish, tire, etc) or just a new tire applicator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
