Is this product still available? I have not been able to find it on the web site.
 
Thanks was looking in the wrong place. Not listed if you go to "all Meguires Products" should have been looking under professional products.
 
I had heard from Meg's that the Syn Express Wax was discontinued. Spray was still available through.
 
That's right... D157 is discontinued but D156 is still available.

They'd be mad to discontinue D156. It's a big seller for them and it's awesome stuff!

D156 has always been in my detailing hall of fame. Simply incredible product.
 
Love it love it love it!

That and DG AW.:)

Keep a "virgin" and a "polycharged" version of both on the shelf. :D

Polycharger was all the rage a few years back. Now a lot of boutique products have the product already in the formula. None the less.... it's fun to see what responds well and what doesn't.

The thing though about using it is when it's water based you can store the product, but when it's solvent based you've got 48 hours MAX to use it or it'll literally congeal in the container. (I use old prescription bottles for such "projects", then throw it away once used.)

Just head to the store, Polycharger.
(This kit used to be $70 btw.) :)

Make your favorite wax or paint sealant work even better with Polycharger! The Polycharger Wax Booster Combo Kit improves the performance of your paint protection. A Polycharger for water-based products and a Polycharger for solvent-based products are included. Polycharger makes ordinary waxes extraordinary! It's like your regular wax on steroids!

You don't have to switch waxes to get better performance. Polycharger helps ordinary waxes and paint sealants reach their full potential. And it's easy to use.

Just add Polycharger to your regular wax to:

  • improve protection and durability.
  • enhance slickness and shine.
  • reduce dust and dirt buildup between washes.
  • create a protective coating that's extremely tolerant to heat and chemicals.
  • cut your car care effort in half.
  • add years to the life of your paint finish.

Polycharger is a polymer curing accelerant. Stated simply, Polycharger maximizes the cross-linking that occurs when polymers bond to auto paint. With a lot of waxes, the polymers fail to cross-link or they do not fully cross-link. Therefore the wax isn't providing the level of protection and shine it could if full polymer cross-linking occurred.

Polycharger is the secret! Polycharger adds two new space age polymers designed for high temperature, highly corrosive environments. When introduced to oxygen, the Polycharger accelerant hyper-activates polymers in their liquid state, forcing cross-linking to begin immediately.

All waxes and paint sealants have polymers, even carnauba waxes. The polymers are what make the wax stick. Polycharger boosts the existing polymers and adds to them to improve the strength, shine, and durability of the wax or sealant. Testing results show that Polycharger improves wax durability as much as 400%. You'll know Polycharger protection is still there because your paint will bead water and shine like crazy, wash-after-wash.

Polycharger works with detail sprays and spray waxes, too. Polycharger improves the gloss and protective properties of quick detailers and spray waxes so they extend the life of your paint protection.

The Polycharger Wax Booster Combo Kit contains Polycharger for water-based and Polycharger for solvent-based waxes, sealants, detail sprays, and spray waxes. It is important to use the correct version of Polycharger. As the saying goes, oil and water do not mix. Refer to our dosage chart to see which Polycharger you need.
Take your wax or paint sealant to the next level of shine and protection with the Polycharger Wax Booster Combo Kit!
Polycharger Wax Booster Combo Kit includes:

  • 2 oz vial of Polycharger H2O
  • 2 oz vial of Polycharger CH2
  • Dosing dropper
  • 2 Mixing bottles
  • 8-page color product guide
  • Compatibility & dosing chart
Note: Do not mix more wax than you plan to use in 48 hours. To avoid waste, we suggest boosting no more than three ounces of wax at one time.
 
Huh, learn something every day! Thanks for the great explanation and link

OK...so what if any is the difference between D156 and Ultimate Quick Wax ? or are they one and the same?

To me:
They are one and the same.

But don't just take my word for it...
{With an added Bonus :)}:

TO WIT:

"M135 Synthetic Spray Detailer is essentially the same product as Ultimate Quik Detailer,

while D156 Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax is essentially the same product as Ultimate Quik Wax.

M135/UQD are mist and wipe quick detailers designed to provide lubricity for the safe wipe off of light dust, fingerprints, etc. Yes, they offer some hydrophobic polymers to promote beading, but they aren't terribly durable and so are not considered waxes at all.

D156/UQW, on the other hand, are indeed spray waxes that utilize a much higher polymer content and therefore excellent durability for spray on products. Both should ideally be used on perfectly clean surfaces, just as you would with any other wax. Alternatively both work great as wax-as-you-dry products".

How much Polycharger does it take to boost three ounces of wax?

For solvent based products it's 1 squeeze of the eyedropper per ounce. That equates to right at ¼ teaspoon. So for 3 ounces it'd be 6 squeezes, 1½ teaspoons or 4 milliliters total.

For H2O based products it's only 1 squeeze per FOUR ounces. :xyxthumbs:

The dosing chart can be found here.

I used D156 for the first time today. Wow! I love this stuff. It seem to work better than QW and smelled like pine trees.
