Bottom line is I want something easy wipe on wipe off. I don't care it I have to do it every 3 months but don't want to have to re-apply every wash or every few washes. I don't want to worry about high sports or swirl marks trying to take off difficult to remove sealant. This would be my primary protection. In Florida, the hot climate makes just about any protection not last as long as I want so I am ok with doing it more often.

Re: CarPro Hydro2 Lite
Ease of use I think is Hydro2 but you’ll have to be careful to only do one panel at a time and rinse very well. This being the normal way of using it, spray on wet car and rinse. I have no idea how good/bad it is to apply as a spray and wipe off product.
Elixir is easy to use and would give you a few weeks of protection but not 3 months I don’t think.
Reload is very easy to mess up and get streaks, especially on a hot panel which washing outside in FL is pretty much a guarantee. I don’t recommend this one.

How does reload compare to black fire si02 in ease of use?

I have no experience with the Black Fire product. I actually have never used anything from BF. Nothing against them, just ended up with other products first.

I want something that isn’t hard to remove I want to avoid marring and swirls above protection.

Re: CarPro Hydro2 Lite
Why not just get the new turtle wax spray coating. Reload is not that good in my experience. Doesn’t last long.

Re: CarPro Hydro2 Lite
I have lite but only use spray on spray off and works well. If looking for spray on wipe off not a fan of Reload. Being from same chemistry house sure lite as a SOWO would be similar.
I haven’t really heard good or bad about TW spray coating or Meguiars new offerings.
In the standard Spray Sio2 sealants ($30ish a bottle)
My old Favorite and still a great product is shine supply clutch but it is being surpassed by Griots 3-1 ceramic wax. Goes on smooth. Beads well and beat forum favorite TWSNS in a side by side.
At $20 for a 22oz bottle it’s also an excellent value

Yes. I would probably do other way around though
