Pad that comes with Americana Wax
Just got a tub of Adams Americana wax and I noticed that the pad comes in the tub. Do you guys leave it in the tub always or keep it separate after using the wax? I cleaned mine with APC and left it out of the tub but noticed that there was still a residue that would flake off on it after a good cleaning.

leave it in the tub. no reason to clean it with anything, UNLESS YOU DROP IN! then you need to clean it real good, then put it back in the tub after it dries.

Actually guys....
Its only shipped in there to protect the wax from impacts while shipping and save space... once you have it we recommend you keep it outside the container, and like ANY applicator you should clean it after each use. If not EVERY time at least every few uses. Also, if you have residue that won't come off try washing with warm water in the sink and a little dawn dish soap... it strips wax from finishes and will strip wax from applicators too! Just be sure to rinse REALLY well so theres no left in the foam when you're done. Last edited by Adam's Polishes; 06-06-2011 at 07:44 PM. |

Rut Roh, I think I better take mine out. It has been in there since I bought it.
 Might have to have a new applicator. DOH what an idiot but at least we learn things everyday.

Also the added pressure on the lid/pot leads to some bowing. If you pad isn't coming apart don't sweat it, just stop storing it in the jar. |

would you recommend always putting the paper ring back in the tub, or that can be thrown out?

Thats in there to prevent the pad from sticking to the wax, so if you aren't keeping the pad in there you can get rid of it.

xbox: this is tedious

Man took mine out yesterday... there was so much wax in that applicator! I cleaned out what had to be around 4-5 Tablespoons of wax! Guess I was too generous in my first application of the stuff and putting it back in the jar caused all that product to be absorbed in there... :(

When mine came from Adam's it had a piece of saran wrap between the pad and the wax. That's how I store it. Just keep the plastic wrap between the pad and the wax, and you never have to search for your applicator.
