    C2v3 or Reload over Crystal Serum Light?

    About to coat my wife's new white 2017 Ford Explorer with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light. I'm the type of guy who likes to top off the finish after most washes even though I know it isn't needed over a coating, but I can't help myself.

    I love the slickness of Reload and have never used C2v3. To you CSL users out there, which would you recommend as a maintenance topper and why?

    Also, which soap do you wash with? Thanks very much!

    Not used Reload but C2v3 is amazing.

    I'm the same way I have both C2v3 and reload.I don't mind mixing polishing products with different brands,however when it comes to coating I don't mix.So here is my personal opinion if you are using Serum stick with reload.I don't see a wow factor after using C2v3.As far as soap I use chemical guys citrus doesn't dull out the finish especially in the hot Florida sun.

    For a extra 25.00 Boyds tru coating is probably the best I've used.I have it on a car that I don't maintain often.But when I do its a tunnel wash and no topper at all.The stuff doesn't degrade and there is no maintenance at all with this coating and it's been on there since they came out with it.

    C2v3 is the best looking spray sealant I've used and really durable

    Just read the reviews on the C2v3 and it sound like it can be hard to apply. Anybody have any opinions on easy of application? How about vs Reload? The wife's Explorer is white by my Acura is black.

    C2v3 is really nice stuff. For me it flashes pretty quick, I use it sparingly, small areas, fast with the towels.

    C2v3 hard to apply? No way. It's among the easier silica type sprays to apply comparing head-to-head with 8 other options.
