    Question CQuartz DLUX & CarPro Reload

    Hello guys,

    I'm getting my rims (Vw Austin) polished to remove some of the minor scratches in the clear coat and they will also be putting CarPro Reload on my rims. Now I'm wondering when I get the rims back would there be any issues with me applying CQuartz DLUX over the same surface right away?

    From what I was reading they say it should be in the other order however that wont be the case here.

    Any ideas/suggestions?

    Thanks

    you'd want to do that in reverse. Dlux is a coating, Relaod is a sealant.

    Question Re: CQuartz DLUX & CarPro Reload

    I wish I could however the person who is detailing my rims has already done it.

    But do you see any issue of me doing it in the other order? I'll probably buy a kit that has both so it would be like this.

    Layer 1 - Reload
    Layer 2 - DLUX
    Layer 3 - Reload

    It should still protect and be shiny/glossy correct? Nothing bad about doing it this way?

    Thanks

    you will just be waisting product. the reload will wear off faster than the Dlux causting the Dlux to come off with it.

    at this point just reapply reload as needed (during regular washed), or let the reload wear off and apply Dlux.

    Question Re: CQuartz DLUX & CarPro Reload

    Thanks,

    Roughly how long do you think the Reload would take to wear off in the summer months?
    Or is there an easy way to remove it?

    Thanks

    If it's Reload 2014 it takes some work to get it off, there is a video showing how it holds up. after 6 washes with APC it was still beading water off. Best way is to polish it off, or drive for a a few months and let the heat of the wheels wear it off.

    Use a polish like reflect and a med cut pad to remove the reload then properly apply dLux.
