Polycharger test
The test vehicle is my neighbors neglected Ranger Rover. Shows the condition of the hood after a quick waterless wash. Feels like sandpaper
To get the paint ready to accept the sealant, used ONR solution and clay bar.
WG Paint Cleanser applied by hand with a damp mf towel
Inspecting the paint to confirm that it passed the plastic baggie test.
WG Sealant and CH2 Polycharger solution. Will apply by hand via foam pad
Mixed test solution of CH2 & WG Deep Gloss Sealant 3.0 and finished applying both halves of the test at 2pm
The drivers' side half of the hood applied with polycharger version. Passenger side applied with straight sealant that's not been polycharged.
Performed swipe test after allowing the LSP to set up for 45 minutes and the panel was good to go. Two gold jr mf, short nap for first wipe and long nap for final wipe. One observation worth noting even now is that the polycharged side was much easier to remove then the straight sealant. IMO, that alone would make me consider the product-stay tune as I will continue to update in the next several weeks.
Beauty shots of the freshly coated panel.
My plan is to wait 30 days and do both a visual, feel and water bead test and report back. Just would like to say thanks again to Todd for the kit and hope this review will ultimate help.

Does anyone know how Polycharger would act with BFWD AFPP?
How soon after the first coat can you layer another coat of BFWD?
Will Polycharger increase the durability/longevity of BFWD AFPP?

Good point and yes, I "always" remove my ring before working on the car....but I was in a hurry and forgot to be honest. But thanks for the heads up.

Thanks DD - what's really funny is I "always" remove my ring and leave it in the laundry room. haha. But I wanted to do the review over the weekend and wanted to use this particular vehicle and was waiting for them to bring it over....anyway u get the idea - crazy. Anxious to see what happens myself, but it was weird how much easier it was to wipe off.

did you think the polycharged side of the hood had any extra gloss compared to just the sealant only side ? i thought both sides of the hood looked pretty good in the photos.
p.s. congrats on the win !

Not really. In terms of gloss, I could not see any difference between the panels. Now that could change as you get further out if the polycharged side has more staying power, but not at the time of application.

Here's an updated shot of the hood after a morning rain. Personally I couldn't see a difference but it's only been a little more than a month and the vehicle is mostly garage kept. Remember the driver's half is treated with the poly booster and the passenger side straight up sealant.
