BlackthornOne Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) I got my second container of Americana recently, and it doesn't have the fragrance of the first one I have. The first one had a Pina Colada smell, but this new one has almost no fragrance at all, other than a regular car wax smell.

I still have the first one. That's how I KNOW there is a big difference in fragrance. I can compare them side by side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 bobfred44 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 My first and only batch of APW did not have any smell other than that of wax. Still worked great!!! Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I believe the fragrance was removed from the formula after some complaints that one of the ingredients (a banana based extract) would actually begin to stink as if it were going bad. I haven't experienced that problem, but Adam said some people had complained of it happening.

0 mikegeaney Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 My Americana stinks but works like a champ! They offered me a replacement but after using it I declined. I think it's kind of funny actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Loud Pedal Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I'll probably get flamed for this one, but I actually don't like fragrances in any products. I actually like chemical smells, which is why I think I like the way BSG smells so much, it doesn't seem to have a fragrance to cover up the chemical smell. Thats just me and I know I'm out numbered! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 GerryC Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I wouldn't say mine smells like Pina Colada, I don't know what it is. I wouldn't say it "stinks" but there's definitely some type of aroma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Team Adam's Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I was in on the first batch, and mine still smells great, but I guess there were reports of stinky tubs, so I guess no smell is the safer bet.
