If I use H20 booster in JW do I need to toss it out in 48 hours? Or does the H20 version follow the "spray" rules (ok for very long duration)?

JW and Klasse have a shelf life of 90+ days after being mixed. That's because it's not really not possible to accelerate the curing of these acrylic resin products. Prime and AIO thicken a bit, but if you shake them well they still apply easily.

I have read all the post but couldn't find an answer to the following.
How fast is the curing accelarated with these two additives? If I boost FMJ, for example, how soon can I add another coat, wax, etc?

Good and thanks.

David I recently put in for the polycharger combo kit and had a question for you. it was my understanding that people had been polycharging carnuba paste waxes with success. the quote from the polycharger site says it is not recommended. was hoping to use this product to extend the durability of Souveran, #16 and CG 50/50 and that is why I had purchased it. can you clear this up for me please? want to be sure I can use the CH2 before my order is shipped. thanks

Q7 - Can I use Polycharger with a paste car wax?
A7 - Unfortunately, the only way to mix Polycharger with a paste car wax is to melt the wax, so we do not recommend Polycharger for this purpose.

Still wondering just how fast the curing is accelarated with these added to a sealant.

DaveB - Looking forward to the product. Have been following the discussions and am excited about the results. Good Job to you and all the autopian's who were involved in the testing!

Question: With it being the middle of winter and some of us residing in areas of sub-freezing temps, I am wondering whether during shipping if the low temps or freezing may have a negative impact of the products?

While I have blended Polycharger CH2 with a few waxes, and it works very well, I put "not recommended" in the literature due to the risks of fire, burns, etc. People can be pretty dumb animals at times.

For people who are still interested, you can put a couple drops of PC CH2 on top of you wax (in the jar) and whip it up to make a PC-Wax mixture. I have done a couple cars this way and it works fine.

For people who really want a top-shelf wax, we are looking at adding a Boosted Carnauba Paste Wax to the RDF line. I have been through more than a dozen blends and now have a product that offers everything people like about Souveran (fragrance, easy-on, depth, wet-look shine) in a formula that will continue to protect and bead water 3-4 times longer than any other Carnauba wax I have tried.

Very good question. It has enough solvent content that it probably won't freeze unless it sits in zero or sub-zero for a few days. I will slam a bottle in the freezer and see what happens.

If you're concerned about this, I'd suggest waiting to order until March. I'd be happy to give you a freeze-out raincheck.

In regards to cold weather application (in case anyone is wondering), I do not recommended it below 40 degrees f.

DaveB - Thanks for the reply... I went ahead and ordered some yesterday assuming it would not be a problem.
