I have read many references to "reload". I'm not sure what this is, sounds like everyone really likes it. What is it, and what am I missing out on? Thanks, happy detailing.......

I'll chime in and say that I was not a fan using it straight. Tons of waterspots with it. Not easy ones to remove either. I do however find that mixing 2-3oz in my 28oz. sprayer mixed with a 20:1 ratio of CarPro's ECH20 works great on my coated vehicles. No spotting and great gloss and protection. It's the onlyl way I'll use it now.

I bought a bottle of the newest formula seeing as it's back to the original. Used it a couple times and had no issues with it. The issues they previously had is why I never bought it.

Hmmmm....
I can't recall if the "old" formula is what I originally had issues with. The bottle I just bought didn't have that "new" sticker on it though. :(

There is no sticker on mine. Just the 2016 date. Which is what you want. I got mine straight from carpro sometime in November.

where's the date? The sticker on the bottom of mine is red/white and says CarPro with the following:
17 10 16
CarPro
16 10 18
What are the above numbers?

To me, those would be manufacture date over the estimated expiration date.

that's what I was thinking/wondering.
I may do another test run at some point so I can be sure my opinion of it says true and current. Until then for me, since my car coated already it works good mixed.

I have coated both of our vehicles with Blackfire Crystal coat. After washes, I have been using spray wax for slickness. Seems to be working good.

Having just used the ECH2O at 1:10 with an additional 1 part of Gyeon Cure, I can say that combo is a real winner when it comes to topping the car off. I have Gyeon Mohs on my car, and it is ever so slightly "grabby." There is a whole new level of slickness after ECH2O/Cure is applied.
I am curious to see how this shapes up when it rains.
As far as the topic goes, I had a terrible time with CarPro Reload straight up as well as 1:1. I had my bottle in 2014/2015 before I tossed it. I've heard from some that the reformulation is better, but for me, it's like putting a dollar in a vending machine and seeing my bag of potato chips get hung up on the screw. Not going to feed that baby another dollar!

Looks like you have the new version. I did not have issues with this version. But as I stated I can't compare it to the previous version.

In regards to manufacture date, I saw something a little odd with the last carpro product I bought here from AG. A bottle of Essence +, and the Bottle's date was post dated meaning manufacture date was a later date than when I received the product. Thought that to be strange?
