Reload is the last product I would grab....to each his own

Wash, Iron-X, wash, wipe down twice with Kleen-Strip Prep All (avaliable at local auto parts store) then Gyeon Can Coat.

Ive searched extensivly a while back, kleen strip is no longer available in a store anywhere near me... only been able to find it online. Never ended up purchasing.

It gets a ton of flak but I have been using it since 2015 with few complaints. Some bad batches a few years back that streaked some. Poor antistatic properties during the months of tree pollen. Only a couple months of beading. But I enjoy using it so much and am used to it that I stick with it. Like you said, to each his own. I would like to see Carpro completely redo the formula and update it for sure.

You must be the one person that has had success with it.....lol

There are a few YouTube video tests and my personal tests on 4 cars that shows it is a HORRIBLE product.

There are so many other options out right now I wouldn't even consider it or recommend it

What exactly did your tests reveal that was so bad besides the known common issues with it I already mentioned? Just curious cause my father and I both use it often.

There are SO many options, too many, that's probably a deciding factor in me just sticking with what I know works for me.

Durability absolutely isn't one of it's strong points. I can concur. Their 6 month claim is laughable.

I guess I'm really callous over the product, I put it on a professional coated ceramic coating"Ziebart" and it took away all the hydrophobics!!
I was shocked

That is the opposite of what you want! Sorry that happened. The only time I ever used it to "top" anything was the old CQuatrz UK. Played well with that but that is also from the same maker so, it should. I used Reload as a standalone for years on my TDI Golf. Again, frequent applications to keep it performing. If it didn't take me(only) five minutes to do an entire car I would bet money I wouldn't use it still.
