What Happened To My Ceramic Coating?

[scv2005]

Sadly, I just finished off the last of mine before Coating this Honda... I will say I am finding South Florida a bit harsher on our cars than the Northeast....

Obvious question here: you did prep the paint after your correction? What did you use to remove the oils?

The only other thing I can think of is that pollen or something could have clogged the coating’s pores, but seems like your regular washing with Reset should prevent it? What dilution do you use for Reset?

Disclaimer, I’m not a coating person but I know some of the questions to ask and things that could go wrong from using ceramics. Others with real experience will be on there way to help soon, I’m guessing.

Idgi. That’s not what he said.^

Did I say he said it was a bad product? Read it again!!!

You changed the quote and come off looking like somekind of Reload fanboy. Why? Lol.

I didn't change the quote, I just replied to it. BTW he did not say it was a bad product, he said the consensus implied that it was a bad product.

Not a fanboy, just know that Reload is not a bad product.

I think the red is Rsurfer's answer.

To be honest, Reload beads water like crazy but the contact angle is quite low. I find its protection capabilities are next to nothing from when I've used it. It does give a nice shine though, I just think there's a lot better products on the market to do what Reload does that are much easier to use.

Hey, why is my quote on all of the replies on this subject?!
No ill will, I’m just hoping this is accidental since I don’t see my quote being related.

I think people are just getting confused why the red text was added to someone else’s words.

Your quote is there because I put it there, as I agreed with your statement on cleaning the polishing oils.

Yes, this is correct.^

As far as Reload goes, I’m sort of impartial. I wouldn’t depend on it for my form of protection, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like it for certain situations. I mostly use it as Merlins mix with Ech2o to make waterless wash but don’t use it on my own vehicles. I’ve never had a problem with Reload streaking either.

I personally just don't know what the point of Reload is to be honest. Considering what it does or doesn't do, there are cheaper options if you just want to add a bit of gloss and easier to use ones. Maybe it's just me?

It adds gloss and has the ability to hide light swirls. Name another spray sealant that can do that?
