2014 Carpro Reload
I need some help with the 2014 Formula Carpro Reload.
Today was my 1st time using it, topping my 1 week old CQUK.
1. Sprayed
2. Spread
3. Buff off
And i was using my Flex flashlight to inspect, it appears as a oily film all over the area i applied it to. I touched it with my finger and it would smear.
Took me FOREVER to buff that oily residue off, i ended up using Eraser as a aid to remove it.
Is this normal or what did i do wrong??

Dark car? Did you use it straight up or dilute 1:1?
I feel like when this streaking occurs, I've used too much.

Re: 2014 Carpro Reload
I had several towels.
Like 3-4, if i don't hold the flex light to see the paint, that oily film won't be visible.
So if i were to just spread and buff it will look nice, but whenever there is a bright light shining at the section where i applied, u will see these oily residue all over. And if i swipe my finger across it, you can see its trace.
So i used Eraser to help, lightly misting my MF Towel to wipe the applied area, it'd easily remove that oily residue.... so i figure it is some sort of oil?

I have never had any problem with Reload. I think it's all in the proper process.
- Shake well and avoid use in direct sun on hot panels
- Spray only the amount needed for one section
- Immediately spread the product out with a short nap Microfiber Towel and immediately buff in and off.
- IMPORTANT: Use a separate towel (I prefer the Crazy Pile towel) which will stay dry throughout as your final wipe towel. Buff the area once more to be sure no streak remains
- Move to next section and repeat.
If you get any "overspray" make sure you buff it as well because if you let it sit to long it will smear on you a little bit.

I tend to use 3 towels for applying reload. one to spread. one to buff. one to do final wipe. I also use crazy pile to do the final wipe.

Reload streaked on me big time too. I tried again with another 30ml sample and it worked just fine. Everyone loves it so I will keep trying it out.

Re: 2014 Carpro Reload
I just find that I need to use an extremely small amount. Like 1 spray on the hood and like half a spray per door. It spreads pretty far and I can always add a bit more, but I always start out with an extremely small amount.

I used 1 spray for 1/3 of my hood... Applied and buffed off, still the same thing....
