Got it from another site since AG doesnt sell it. Has anyone boosted OCW, OID, DG AW or FK425? I love Four Star and Pinnacle Spray Waxes so I couldnt resist trying it out. Any advice is welcome!
 
For OID and AW I'd think you'd want the CH2 booster, but that's just my thought on it.

Also, I've read those bottles of polycharger go bad after exposure to air after a while, so after you crack open the bottle make sure to use it as frequently as possible.
 
we sold it in past and I was fortunate enough to play with it. Its cool at first, but the mixing and science of it all got a little boring. Now I just prefer to buy products like Four Star and Ultima which have it in there already.
 
i have polycharged alot of products with the h20. i believe i was the first to charge the fk425. be careful in how you charge it otherwise you will end up with streaks. it works very well when dosed right. food for thought, if you do charge the fk425, use it in the shade. just my 2 pennies.

All of the detail sprays on their chart called for the H2O. The CH2 version has an accelerant that you have to use up in 48 hours or less. The H2O doesnt have it and has a longer shelf life.

Thanks, I remembered your post. How did you charge FK? I was planning on one drop for 4 oz of FK? Any other products that were improved by the Polycharger?

Right. I was talking about the dosing bottle going bad. Another site sells both the H2O and CH2 as a combo for 40 bucks less 15% via coupon right now.

Yep thats the one. Thanks for the heads up on the bottles.
 
I've used the PC H20 booster with FK425, and on black I did get some streaking, but it's also very hot and humid outside right now. I will say that before it was hot, the stuff turned out amazing, the gloss was great.

I almost polycharged OCW, but wasn't sure if I should use the H20 or the CH2?
 
I think you can use H2O with OID, sinces you dilute it with water, almost all the QDs are mainly water.
 
I've used the H20 PCH with a variety of QDs, including OID...also have used it with Z8, OCW, and AW. I really could not tell much difference (if any). JMO.
 
Is this stuff really even worth the price? Does it really make a difference or is it one of those "I think its shinier" things?
 
It might add some durability, but I could see no notable difference in looks....but maybe it's just my eyes.....they're old.

I have four Star Spray Wax with PC and think it is water based. When I get it I can mix OCW and compare it to plain OCW if there is any difference. Let me know if any interest.

I only know the products I have with PC, i.e., BFWD, BFHGS, UPGP, and 4 Star are killer good and the price was very good so I thought WTH!

You are right about OCW. It needs the CH2. Not sure about DG AW yet. I read you can add the H2O version directly to the product. I will mix up a full bottle on some of the stuff I know uses it. Crystal Mist, WG Detail Spritz, FK425. I will try it with 4 oz of DG AW and OID for sure. My go to sealants are BFWD and UPGP so no need for the CH2. Thanks for your help!

Does it make a difference? Well, I can honestly say I've never done a side by side with the same product, Polycharged versus non Polycharged. I guess in my eyes it looks good. As far as I think it shinier, that probably applies to most LSP's and sealants.

Thanks, I wondered if it needed CH2. I may clean up the cars today, might do a side by side. I use BFWD and love the stuff...
 
I like Polycharger. Right now, on my car I have two coats of Wolfgang DGPS, both coats were added with Polycharger CH2. I am not crazy about the DGPS durability but I really like the look so Polycharger is my solution for that.

I also Polycharge my Blackfire Deep Gloss Spray Sealant with H20 Polycharger (1 dose per 4oz). I always have two ready-to-use bottles on my shelf, one is Polycharged and one is non-Polycharged. When I go for the Polycharged version, during my next car wash I seem to notice such amazing water beading and sheeting compared to using the non-Polycharged BF Spray Sealant.

But who knows, BF Deep Gloss Spray Sealant is already "Boosted by Polycharger" so perhaps adding Polycharger H20 to the formula does absolutely nothing to enhance the durability.

I don't notice anything when it comes to the shine, though.
