Original Reload didnt seem to add any real gloss or better looks. It also can streak badly in direct sunlight. I havent tried the newer version which is said to be quite different. Did not notice any real durability, but using over Opticoat.

Optimums looks nice, actually nicer after a little drying and heat time. Its rather durable. It does however need some buffing especially in direct sunlight. Best applied in garage as possible.

Scott, I completely disagree with you on the ReLoad V1. ( I have yet to try the V2). It adds a lot of slickness, especially to OC which is devoid of it after application. It gives it the slickness that customers like to feel. It helps CQ as well. For me it is a must after using a coating. As far as looks, well, either one has such a nice wet look that I did not notice any improvement. Frankly, I think it would be hard to improve upon it anyway.
