  • Polycharger.

    I was wondering if the UP spray and the Endurance high trigger spray can be water based polycharged????
    If so what would be the dose??

    Re: Polycharger.

    Polycharger is not something we generally get involved with here at Meguiar's as our chemists develop products to meet certain criteria and performance as is. If you believe adding another component to any product to be truly beneficial, then you do so at your own risk, so to speak. We're always happy to see people experiment and will give some input where applicable (especially if we know that what someone is attempting to do is a seriously bad idea!) but we have not developed any guidelines for polycharger use with any of our products. Don't they have guidelines for various types of products that their product is generally added to? If so, we can only suggest that you follow those guidelines and experiment a bit.

      I think Polycharger was developed for use with wax/sealants, not dressings.

        Correct. Spray waxes and detailers can be polycharged also, IIRC.

          OK guys, gotta ask...what is 'polycharger'?

          I've seen the term pop up more than once on different forums and I'm still in the dark.

          Thanx...

            Re: Polycharger.

            Polycharger is an chemical agent that improves wax or sealant durability in how it bonds to itself and paint.. You mix it with the wax/sealant and then apply. The downside is you have to measure fairly precise amounts of the sealant/wax then add a specific amount of polycharger. The mixture has a short life and will harden. There are two types: one for water based products and another for traditional sealants so you have to use the correct one for each product.

            I have used it with some products and it does work well. It changes how the product applies (more like a gel) and hazes very very quickly.

              An authority on the subject says that it's "an amino functional silicone fluid". Most sealants already contain it but this seems to boost the content and cross-linking, as I understand it.

                Thanx for the answers!

                After I posted this question yesterday, I did the Google dance (should have done that first)...I did NOT know that is was a product. I thought all this time is was just a term.

                Need to do more reading.

                Thanx again...
