0 The Guz Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Mine is doing the same thing after only 5 washes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Rich Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I have two and no issues with either one. They get well used. It's like anything, there are going to be good and bad with every product out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 2Fords Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 No pictures,but mine is doing the exact same thing. I feel I have to be gentle with it or I might damage it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gen9Rolla Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I bought one of the wedges long before Adam's sold them and mine did the same thing almost immediately. But, I still haven't had an issue with mine yet,and it's holding up just fine with over a year of service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TheBurninator Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I have a torn "finger" or two on mine and it feels like it might tear at the handle at some point.... Time will tell. PT3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BRZN Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 fogle and The Guz; those certainly appear to be warranty issues with the products. Contact customer service and I'll bet you new ones, or a refund, will be headed your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact customer service and I'll bet you new ones, or a refund, will be headed your way. It's not a big deal for me. I will keep using it as is. It takes nothing away from the performance. The foam fingers are fine. I do more rinseless washes anyway being in California with water restrictions. In reality it's only $15. We shall see how long it lasts.

0 hockeybawler Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Mine is doing the same. I just try to be more careful with it and not squeeze by the handle too hard PT3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Junior Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Mine doesn't show any real sign of an issue and it is probably going on wash number 50. I don't use it on the whole car though and I am fairly conscious not to put much pressure on it during the wash process. The synthetic wash pad would have been thrashed at probably half the number of uses unless I was constantly using APC on it after every wash. So I like that aspect of the Wedge way better. It releases dirt so well. I was going through wash pads about every quarter or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 rwisejr Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I have had mine since the show at Phil's (Detailers domain) clinic and I have used it over a 100 times and is as new . No issues here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 rkj4243 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I would also agree that I have used mine somewhere between 50 to 70 times, without issue. Also gave a couple to other people in my family, and both of them use the wedge at least once a week and no issues reported either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 alextakesphotos Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Mine stared doing the same so I stopped grabbing it from the handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 2Fords Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) Just got a new Adams red wedge. What do you guys think about this? One edge is not cut thru all the way.About a 1/4" is all.Not sure if I should even worry about it? Also one end has thick slices.

0 marquez93 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 It will work, but the shallow slices won't keep the dirt as far away from the paint. I'm sure they'll replace it for you if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TheWolf Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Just got a new Adams red wedge. What do you guys think about this? One edge is not cut thru all the way.About a 1/4" is all.Not sure if I should even worry about it? Also one end has thick slices. I ordered two of the new red wedges. Both have thicker slices on the ends, but neither have shallow side cuts like that. I wonder it the thicker fingers on the ends will help keep them from splaying out so much on the ends, like this yellow one. I would email orders@adamspolishes.com and request a replacement for the shallow side cuts, as it will not work the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Natch02 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 No problems with mine. Prob have 40 washes on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ricky Bobby Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 FYI my wedge (red) came in my order today looking exactly the same. I'll use it, but it looks like the first run of the red wedges may have had someone having a case of the Fridays on the wedge cutting station. One side is not cut all the way through, and fat notches on the one end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll call Adams tomorrow and see what they think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mongosg8 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 After 3 months .. my yellow one is no longer worthy. It started to fray apart. I noticed they get kinda funky if you do not let them dry out before putting back into the Adams wash bucket. Plus moisture tends to create mold spores in sealed containers. This doesn't mean I did not like the product ..I did. worked great in certain areas of the car. Will buy another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TheWolf Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Yes, definitely need to dry the Wedge completely before storing it in a closed container. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tpr676 Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 I will say I had put a older one "yellow" that was fairly stained in a bucket of straight APC over night, bad move it melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Green Machine Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Nothing lasts forever but it needs to last a bit no issues with mine so far 10 times used!!!! Let Adams know!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
