    Has anyone compared BFs SiO2 spray sealant to Carpro Reload

    I was wondering if anyone has compared the two spray selant yet, side by side or at all. The sale going on now would make it priced very very nicely.

    Re: Has anyone compared BFs SiO2 spray sealant to Carpro Reload

    I've used both and BF is hands down a lot more user friendly. I tried Reload every way you can and would still end up with streaks. Have yet to be able to get BF to streak.
    I used BF as a dying agent on my gloss black wheels to see if there would be any issues. No streaking and left the wheels slick and with a little extra shine.
    I tried Reload as a drying agent and would always leave some streaking.
    This weekend will be using BF as a drying agent on my wife's suv. It currently has BF on the paint for a little over a month and is still beading as well as the day I applied it. Still feels slick doing rinseless wash and road grime easily removed.

    Are they really comperable products? While they might work for the same purpose, I've always envisioned Reload to be more like the Blackfire Coating Booster.

    I heard the new BF siO2 spray is stronger than Reload.

    But sounds like it's a bit more diluted thus more user friendly

    Interesting question/thought. I did think SiO2 Spray was a direct comparable but I’ve never used Reload. Coating Booster feels less concentrated than SiO2 Spray.

    Re: Has anyone compared BFs SiO2 spray sealant to Carpro Reload

    The BF SIO2 Spray is the easiest SIO2 spray I've ever used. I've got Reload, Cure, and QuartzMax available, but I'll not use them again. Now I have no idea about durability, because I use the BF SiO2 spray after most every wash, but the application is Bubba-Proof. You can't streak it. Application is like Meguiar's D-156 spray wax. It just disappears into the paint. Next big sale, I'm ordering a gallon.

    That's what I'm wondering.. is it apples to apples? Is one more concentrated than another?

    I think the chemical make-up might be different based on the original purpose of the product. I always saw Reload to be in the same category as Cure and other coating maintenance products. Honestly, I don't fully understood their purpose, but see them more like a specialy formulated QD.

    The Blackfire SiO2 spray however, is designed to be a highly durable spray-on LSP. I'd think the Blackfire would me more durable since it was designed from the beginning to work on it's own, but just happens to work nicely when applied over a coating.

    Reload boasts 6 months when used standalone or use as a booster. This is the same claim as SiO2 Spray. PBL Booster and Blackfire Booster meant as toppers only.
