Polycharger CH2 and Autoglym EGP

stanwan · 04-01-07, 12:35

Hi all!

I couldn't find any entries for Extra Gloss Protection (EGP) in the polycharger dosing guide. Does anyone have any idea if they are compatible. Is it even worth layering EGP over polycharged SRP?

Sure they are compatible and the dose for Ultra Deep Shine is 2 doses of Polycharger CH2 per oz. As far as layering, I don't think you can ever get too much protection.

When I tested Polycharged SRP, it was very glossy, slick and durable. I'm not sure it's worth the extra step of doing the topcoat of SRP.

David,

I am a little confused by this thread. The normal top for Autoglym Super Resin Polish is Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection. (EGP is the watery stuff with gold label (in the UK) that when you use for the first time you think this is so easy and end up putting too much on and spending an age getting it off! You then learn to use it ultra thin!!)

Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine is the newer product with swirl filling properties a thicker version than Super Resin but also slightly different chemisty and has a black label (in UK).

I recognise Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine can be polycharged but can the Extra Gloss Protection be Polycharged? I have not seen the dosing guidelines for this on the charts to date.

Do you therefore mean you are "not sure if it is worth doing a top coat with EGP (Extra Gloss Protection)"?

Have you tried Polycharged EGP or just SRP? (Sorry for all the TLA's (Three letter Acronyms!)

SRP and UDS work very well with Polycharger CH2. I tried mixing EGP with Polycharger CH2, but I did not try applying to a whole car, nor did I do durability testing. It mixes just fine and it applied fine. As I recall, the fender that I tried it on was super slick. However, I don't remember seeing a difference in look between the area I did with SRP+PC and the area coated with EGP+PC.

Let me go into my lab and see if I have a bottle of EGP. If I do I will give it a try on a fender and give it my durability test.

Well that figures... it looks like I have every AG product except EGP and SRP. I have them in the warehouse... I can pick them up tomorrow.

It would be great if you could test it for us. Autoglym in the U.K. you can get anywhere (supermarkets and small car accessory shops) so SRP and EGP are commonly used and give good protection for up to 6 months. If polycharger can give this combination a boost it would be excellent. (And also good for U.K. sales of Polycharger!!)

As a general note, I find UDP to be MUCH better than the SRP/EGP combo. It applies by machine very well. It's a solid competitor to AIO with much better protection. Add Polycharger to UDP and it's a winner.

David,

I have done a vehicle this weekend with Klasse AIO (Polycharged) with 2 coats of Klasse SG (Polycharged). I have been very impressed and have tried to add a post with a couple of pics to the polycharger/Klasse SG thread in this forum. (Not quite sure what happened to it, I submitted it and the site thanked me but it does not seem to be there)

Is Polycharged Autoglym Ultra Deep Shine better than this combination of AIO and SG in terms of finish and protection?

The AIO/SG combo with Polycharger is very solid. With 3-4 coats of SG +PC it is about the deepest looking finish I have seen.

My comment regarding UDS +PC is as a single-step product. I believe this combination is very solid as a polish/sealant in one application.

david,uds is a aio type product would it be ok to polycharge uds and apply 2 coats. would the second coat remove the first or would a second coat asure total coverage?

Thom,

I have applied two coats of this product, but not with the intention of getting two layers. The first coat I applied with the SwirlBuster pad to remove swirls and oxidation. The second coat I applied with the SFX-2 (white) pad to bring up full gloss. The resulting finish is still looking great (next door neighbor's Z4) and beading water like a duck after a few months.

I mixed the normal ratio of PC-CH2 with 4 ounces of UDS and applied it back to back. Went on and came of with ease.
