drpellypo Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I use it if the customer requests something hard wearing. In this case, the Astra owner was doing around 2k a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Here is my take on it; it looks alright, some colours look alot better then others. Durability, as in how long its there are suppose to be high however the good looks of the products are pretty much gone after about 10 weeks. IMO. on silvers and light metalics you are much better of with RMG topped with (Polycharged for maximum durability)Wolfgang Sealant. At the price of Jetseal you might as well get Zaino which looks better (IMO), lasts longer (while looking better). I used 109 over CG EZ Glaze.

drpellypo Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Geoff - funny you should say that, cos I've only yesterday purchased the Zaino kit. I'm otherwise a Zaino virgin! I shall be doing some comparisons this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsmith Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 My regime consists of RMG followed by Wolfgang Sealant and, as Geoff already knows and eagerly awaits, I have the PolyCharger ready to try out as soon as the weather and time allows! RMG and WG Sealant work very well together and the WG Sealant has excellent looks and durability already which should mean an awesome combo once the PC gets added to it...

steelwind101 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 [ QUOTE ] Polycharged ??........enlighten please [/ QUOTE ] Polycharger is an additive which you add to most liquid waxes and sprays. It improves way the polymers behave in products and increases or creates crosslinking. This means a product has strong bonds, it is slicker, its more durable and beads and sheets much more effectivly. Wolfgang is made by the same company that brings you Souervan wax. Its a great looking product but for a sealant durability has never been the strongest. However Polychargers means it can last longer and be slicker with out any extra effort. http://www.polycharger.com/ for more details. There is no reason why Polycharger should change the look of product. An important point to remeber, polycharging is purely scientific in its changes. BPSmith, i havent for to try the Polycharged Wolfgang yet, i cant wait to hear about how it works out! Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hmm, sounds like marketing bs tbh. Any Chemists around? Can such processes occur at ambient temperatures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyliss Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thanks for explanation Geoff. Do Wolfgang manufacture a polycharged sealant or is it Polycharged a product on its own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsmith Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 The PolyCharger is a Nano tech type product so mixes with the product to evenly space it out and link stronger. Read the link for the official info above. Wolfgang dont do a pre-polycharged product but it is easy to mix as per instructions also in the link above.

[/ QUOTE ] It isnt b/s! Even if it doesnt do what it says it does however significantly extend the life of waxes and makes them really slick. I had Megs #21 give consistant results of months which PC first came out. Its probably worth you checking out there http://autopia.org/forum/polycharger/ as davidB will be pleased to answer any questions. Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyliss Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 I was looking at the Jetsealfor aminly my wheels,how does it compare with the traditional wheel waxes etc?. Do you think its worth the money for just wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelwind101 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi Dibbs, probably not worth the price for the wheels. Im currently using 845 IW from collinite (the liquid-type wax)and it works really well. I only had a small sample and tried it on wheel. I think its more that it can go on the wheel and work well rather then it being simply very very good on wheels. Someone with more wheel experince use can comment!

wyliss Posted February 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Cheers for the info Geoff, excellent as usual. I await Mr Wheel Protectant Specialist..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpellypo Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Here's my thoughts. Wheels are subject to more abuse ('cept perhaps your arches!) than any other part of the car. High temperature, brake dust, corrosive fallout from your discs - the list goes on. As a result, preventing them from getting dirty is impossible. But, the products come into play when you look at how easy it is to clean them. Anything ranging from wax, to sealant, to wheel wax is going to help with the removal of dirt. Personally, I use jetseal, but really, any sealant or wax is going to do a good job. A few layers of a good wax will mean that when you come to clean the car, you just need to rinse them with water, or at most, give them a quick once over as part of your normal wash routine.
