Is four star ultimate sealent good?

Well, that might not be a good idea. I guess you could try it with a small amount. It's not a big bottle of polycharger that's for sure.
 
if PGP was polycharger in its purest form than why would they sell polycharger seperately?



Besides, polycharger is only an additive. It does nothing when used alone.



I wouldn't waste any PGP like that. Mix it and find out, but I wouldn't expect the same results as the pre polycharged UPP or a version 2.0 that has been polycharged with the additive.
 
interesting thread this one guys, and then I see the new Sonus SFX4 Polycharged sealant, and the shape of the bottle, and the claims about slickness etc and I start to wonder how all these might (?????) be related............or not?



I am wondering if it might be worth trying one of these - I think the SFX4 is the only one currently available in the UK in its Polycharged form, apart from theBlackfires.

Ultima purchased or merged with Four Star. Part of Ultima i believe is owned by the guy who owns Autopia, i believe he is part of Sonus or closely related?



If you view any of the Four Star or Sonus sites you can join there vendor program and all of those products seem to be avalible to vend from them!



However, i dont believe Pinnicle is related to the above being part of PBMA and they offer Liquid Souveran Wax POLYCHARGED in the UK via Motorgeek.



Wolfgang sealant 3.0 does not boast POLYCHARGED. But! I did get revamped when all these pre polycharged products came around, further still i have used it extensively this winter and thought it was very similar in the sheeting and beading and durability as PS-PC, and FSS-PC.



Dervdave; yeah i thought the older version dident last so long but looked good, if you need some more and get the chance to order from the USA get some 4 Star Polycharged, unique looks and lasts a good 4 months!

I`ve bought some P/C so I`m going to mix some up and try it Geoff.

BUT...the slickenss seems to drop off quickly. Dunno if the PolyCharger will help with that or not, but it's easy enough to just redo it.



Also, I find it oddly vulnerable to bug-guts etching, so don't let them dwell on the vehicle for too long or you might have to do some polishing.



Thats the opposite of what I found .. the 4 cars I have it on 2 are neglected and the bugs don't bother it ..





Myself I think slickness is over rated and I don't think it has any bearing on durability.

Argh...sure wish that was *my* experience :think:



We usually take the S8 on trips resulting in the bugs being on there for maybe five days or so. After that, I have to do a light polishing to remove the etching maybe 80% of the time...far worse in this regard than the LSPs on my other drivers.

I find the slickness helps it shed dirt/etc. so it's easier to wash without marring. Other than the bug-etching I haven't had to polish that car in forever, and I mean *years*, even though I keep it basically 100% perfect.
 
My car is still pretty slick after about a month of that sealant being applied. I'm hoping that applying another coat will add some depth, since I wasn't thrilled about it's appearance. I need to get some more clay though; I shouldn't apply sealant just after washing, it should be clayed first no matter what, right?
 
It should be clayed if it needs to be.



Put your hand in a plstic baggie and run your hand over the area. If it feels rough and gritty than it needs to be clayed



Oh BTW, I saw you mentioned applying another coat to enhance looks. Well if you clay its more than likely going to remove the first coat
 
I was going to use Ultima's elastofoam thing rather than clay because I've had nothing but trouble with conventional clay. Ultima claims that it won't remove sealant.

It just might not have that kind of look on your paint. Try a few more applications and see.

Noting that I probably clay more than most people, yeah.. it only needs clayed if it needs it.



I re-LSP without claying when I can get away with it.

If you clay properly with something like Sonus green it shouldn't bother the UPP. Since UPP is so slick, contamination doesn't usually stick to it all that much.
