I have a car coated with CQ Finest I want to use a spray wax to make it pop a little more. I have used reload and not a fan is there anything else I can use without hurting the CQ coating

Any spray wax (or any topper/wax/sealant) will work. You will not hurt the coating at all. Just be aware that the spray wax (or whatever product you top it with) won't last as long as it normally would because the coating will prevent it from bonding to it. But that's what the coating is there for - for maximum and long protection.

Hope this helps.

Lots of people have said that because of streaking. What issues did you encounter?

A product that's a direct counterpart of Reload is Gyeon Cure (http://www.autogeek.net/gyeon-cure.html).

A QD specifically made for coated vehicles is Carpro Ech2o (http://www.autogeek.net/carpro-ech2o-liter.html).

Try this: After applying reload, use another microfiber towel that has been sprayed with some water and wipe the panel afterwards. Also, don't saturate the MF towel you're using to apply reload. Please let us know if that works.

^this^ I have a black car and don't experience streaking unless the panels are warm.

It's more like a QD than a spray wax/sealant. It darkens the paint and adds a ton of gloss, if only it would last a week or two.

Marc, do you find Gyeon Cure to be easier to work with (less streaking) than Reload?
Thanks in advance.

I plan on using my "Ech2o-based" FrankenDetailer for a spruce up when/if needed. That said, I have other "actual" spray waxes at my disposal (DG AW, 303 Aerospace and the new Jay Leno quick detailer for instance, probably some more that I can't remember right now.
