    CQuartz UK 3.0 topped with Gliss maintenance?

    So I applied 2 coats of CQuartz UK and 1 layer of Gliss.
    Will I be able to add another layer of Gliss? Or is 3 layers total the max recommend? How often should I apply reload?

    One layer of Gliss is enough. I'd not use Reload. If you want to add some extra protection use Elixir as your drying aid/topper.

    Why not reload?

    Elixir is a QD and can be used over a slightly dirty surface. Reload must be used on a clean surface only. Both are good toppers, but I would give the edge to Elixir for ease of application and gloss level.

    Reload can streak. And it’s enough of a sealant that it masks a bit the awesome water behavior of UK+Gliss. Elixir isn’t attempting to add months of protection and will compliment the coating better IMO.

    Elixir is the better product in my opinion. Better in overall performance with about the same longevity. Reload loses its effects after a few washes and starts to make it look like the coating has lost its hydrophobic properties which will come back once Reload has worn off. You will be happier with Elixir.
