POLYCHARGER IS A PAINT CARE PRESCRIPTION FOR YOUR CAR WAX!
Does your car suffer from:
An Owner With Limited Time To Wax & Maintain The Paint Finish?
Poor Wax Protection From Products That Don’t Meet Manufacturer Claims?
Rough, Dull Paint?
The answer is Polycharger®, the professional strength additive for consumer quality car waxes.
Offers Superior Protection You Can See, Wash-After-Wash!
Saves You Time & Money!
Works With Your Favorite Wax Product
Polycharger is the world’s first and only Wax Booster™! It mixes with:
Liquid Car Waxes
Paint Sealants
Spray & Wipe Products (“Quick Detailers”)
With Polycharger inside, ordinary car waxes become extraordinary waxes. You will experience:
A 400% Improvement In Wax Durability.
Improved Paint Slickness & Shine.
Less Dust & Dirt Build-up Between Washes.
Polycharger is like a shot of steroids for most car wax products! The only thing that gets through Polycharger protection is the shine. That’s because a Polycharger boosted wax finish won’t wash off with ordinary car wash shampoos or detergents. In testing, all Polycharger compatible waxes washed off with Dawn dishwashing detergent, but they held fast with Polycharger inside.

WE DON’T MAKE THE CAR WAX, WE MAKE THE CAR WAX WORK!
[PAGE 2]
IT’S NOT A WAX, IT’S A WAX BOOSTER!
Polycharger is a WAX BOOSTER additive for car wax products. In the same way that you use a gasoline additive in your car’s fuel tank to enjoy better engine performance, you add Polycharger to your wax to improve its performance. It’s a polymer supercharger!
WHY DOES YOUR CAR WAX NEED POLYCHARGER?
Your wax needs Polycharger because your car’s paint needs better protection. Replacing your car’s paint is costly. In fact, your car’s paint system is second only to the engine when it comes to replacement cost. It’s a fact that cars with paint damaged by water spotting, acid raid, road salts and other contaminates have a lower resale value. This is why high-end car dealerships closely scrutinize paint condition when calculating trade-in value.
HOW DOES POLYCHARGER WORK?
All modern car waxes, including “paint sealants,” use polymer technology for better protection. Even so-called pure Carnauba waxes contain polymers. Unfortunately, the polymers put in most car waxes never get to do their job. The failure for most car waxes is what is supposed to happen in the transition from a liquid to a dry film.
<molecular diagram of waxes without Polycharger>
A polymer is a long molecule capable of interlinking with itself to form a mesh of molecule strands. Imagine a microscopic chain link fence and you’ll get the picture. This interlocking capability, called cross-linking, is what gives polymers their terrific strength. Unfortunately, most car wax chemists lack the experience to blend a car wax with polymers that properly cross-link when applied to the surface of your car. We have the secret!
<molecular diagram of waxes with Polycharger!>
Polycharger adds the critical link missing in most car waxes, making them perform the way they should. It’s like a shot of steroids for most car wax products. With Polycharger inside, your wax will bead water and shine like crazy for months, not weeks. The difference is simply amazing!
[PAGE 3 – Which Polycharger Version]
PURE, POWERFUL, POLYCHARGER
Polycharger is a polymer booster and accelerant in one. The booster component adds two new space age polymers designed for high temperature, high corrosive environments. When introduced to oxygen, the Polycharger accelerant hyper-activates polymers in their liquid state, forcing the cross-linking chain reaction to begin immediately.
No matter how good a car wax is by itself, Polycharger makes it last longer, improves its protective qualities and enhances the shine. Testing results show that Polycharger CH2 improves wax durability as much as 400%. You’ll know Polycharger protection is still there because your paint will bead water like crazy, wash-after-wash.
Imagine only having to wax your car twice a year instead of 4-5 times a year. That’s the benefit of Polycharger.
By boosting your favorite car wax product with Polycharger you:
Create a protective coating that is extremely tolerant to heat.
Create a protective coating that is extremely tolerant to chemicals.
Improve gloss, clarity and slickness of the finish.
Cut your car care effort in half!
Add years to the life of your paint finish.
When Polycharger is properly mixed with a detail spray, it creates a spray wax booster with 70% of the protective qualities of a Polycharged wax. In testing, boosted detail sprays alone protected paint (continued to bead water and shine) through six to eight washes. When you use a boosted wax with a boosted detail spray, you have an easy-to-use system for complete paint protection.
WHICH POLYCHARGER DO YOU NEED?
There are two different formulations of Polycharger. Polycharger CH2 is for oil (solvent) based wax products, and Polycharger H2O is for water based products, including most spray detailers and pure acrylic waxes. See our application charts for known product compatibility.
It is very important to use the correct version of Polycharger. As the old adage goes, oil and water don’t mix. Adding Polycharger CH2 to detail sprays will simply ruin your bottle of detail spray. Adding Polycharger H2O to an oil based wax will create a bottle of mixture that looks like cottage cheese.

POLYCHARGER WAX BOOSTER SPRAY
The superior benefits of a Polycharger boosted spray are available in our own Polycharger Wax Booster Spray. We have fine-tuned this product to provide the most protection possible in a spray booster wax.
Applies Effortlessly Without Streaking.
Fully restores Polycharger protection that’s gradually depleted from driving, exposure to the sun and weather, and washing.
Renews shine, slickness and dust repellency.
Apply as often as you wish to shine, or once each month for lasting protection.
Takes Just Five Minutes!
Just spray, wipe and buff to an amazing show car shine!
POLYCHARGER IS EASY PAINT CARE!
With Polycharger protection, you can wax your car just twice a year and maintain full wax protection and shine in just five minutes. Maintenance couldn’t be easier. Simply wash as normal, dry thoroughly, then spray, wipe and buff with your booster. You can make you own booster spray, with your favorite spray and wipe products and Polycharger H2O, or choose our premium Polycharger Wax Booster Spray.
WHAT POLYCHARGER IS NOT…Polycharger is not a paint restoration or cleaning product. As such, it will not restore or repair a damaged or neglected paint finish. If your paint is in less-than-perfect condition, first use detailing clay to clean and an appropriate paint polish to remove oxidation, swirl marks and scratches.
[PAGE 5 – Instructions]
DOSING AND MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
<close-up shot showing one dose of Polycharger>
Polycharger Dosing
When mixed with waxes, Polycharger is an accelerant, so do not mix more wax and Polycharger than you plan to use in 24 to 48 hours. After two days any Polycharger boosted wax mixture must be thrown away.
Each Polycharger kit comes with three mixing bottles and a 60 ml bottle of Polycharger additive. This is enough additive to boost 24 to 30 ounces of wax (depending on the brand) or two gallons of detailing spray. The average car requires about 2 ounces of wax for a complete coating and 1-2 ounces of spray for maintenance. To avoid waste, we suggest boosting no more than 3 ounces of wax at one time.
Dosing (measuring) Polycharger is very easy. The bottle of Polycharger additive includes a glass dropper with a rubber bulb. Each full depression and release of the rubber bulb loads 50% of the glass dropper. This is equal to “one dose” of Polycharger additive. Most liquid wax products require two doses of Polycharger additive per ounce. Correct dosing information is provided in the chart below.
Note: Shake Polycharger well before dosing. If the Polycharger additive is not properly mixed, dosing will not be correct and desired results will not be achieved.
Mixing Polycharger with Waxes
When mixing waxes, fill a mixing bottle to the desired level (1, 2 or 3 ounce mark) and add the proper dosing of Polycharger (see compatibility and dosing chart). Cap the mixing bottle and shake for 30 to 45 seconds. Your boosted wax is now ready to apply. Don’t forget to cap your bottle of Polycharger or it will spoil.
Be sure to use a clean mixing bottle with each wax mixture. Additional mixing bottles can be purchased from a local drug store or where ever Polycharger is sold. If you are mixing an additional batch on the same day, it is okay to reuse the mixing bottle.
Apply Polycharger boosted wax per wax manufacturer’s instructions.
Mixing Polycharger with Sprays
When mixing sprays, remove the sprayer and add the proper dosing of Polycharger. There are no shelf life concerns with boosting detailing sprays, so Polycharger can be added directly to the original product bottle. Put the cap back on the spray bottle and shake well. Shake again before each use.
Apply Polycharger boosted spray per manufacturer’s instructions.
