If oyu have used opticoat, cquartz or other coatings, this stuff is fantastic after a month or two:

Reload is a last step sealant that sprays on and immed wipes off. It gives brilliant glass shine as it's made with silica, not polymers. But it's a bit finicky, and can streak. With some messages from Brandon at EAS, I finally got the method down pat:
1. Short nap MF TOWEL Folded in quarters
2. One or two spritzes per panel, no more( I was using way too much)
3. Wipe off, cover whole area
4. Immediately FLIP the towel and a quick wipe buff...good for months....maybe longer....

Done! If you have used a coating like OPTI coat or cquartz, this is your follow up......

•Why isn't this stuff "fantastic" before your proposed "month or two" time frame?
•Don't some folks advocate its usage on some CarPro Coatings within a couple of hours of their application?

•You seem to trust this Brandon guy from EAS.
•Now: Try to somehow convince me to also trust him:
Is he somehow more authoritative than Avi and/or Corey?

•Why use a Coating...if it's going to be topped/covered up with some Sealant?
•What, then, is the importance of the Coating's attributes!

Just saying...

Sickkkkkkk!!! :dblthumb2:

Reload is excellent every few months on coatings. Not using too much is the key. Wipe off thoroughly.

If you've ever tried Opti-Coat or CQ UK, after application, they are not slick at all. Tacky feeling. Reload gives them a nice and slick feeling.

Yeah the Reload is also great for a car the gets coated but has to stay outside while curing. It helps prevent water spotting during the curing time.

I just did a F150 wth CQUK and Reload. Left it outside overnight. Came out the next morning gave it a quick wipe down to get the dew off and it looked awesome!

Also use the Cquk and Reload on my GTO. Great products for sure. Nice vette BTW!!!

Another vote for UK but I never bother with reload unless the vehicle will be subjected to rain within the first 48 hours. Otherwise I'll wait until the first maintenance wash to apply reload. Haven't had one problem yet.

Love Reload, got another bottle on the way :)

I use it pretty much every wash at 1:2, it's really not needed anywhere near as often as I use it but I love using it so why not?!
