![]() After reading the wash and wax guide I went to my local Walmart and purchased a crap ton of Meguiars stuff. I love this paint job so much I really wanted to keep it looking nice. This stuff is incredible! I just started getting into detailing after purchasing a new 2014 TRD Sport Tacoma in beautiful metallic blue ribbon. Beading seems like it may be down just a tiny tiny bit from the un-cut, but I can see this making a single bottle of Reload(500ml) last our two vehicles all summer long. I tried that and it definitely went on even easier than un-cut, gloss was identical, as was slickness. Recently read about some people cutting it 1:1 with water just to get more use out of it. I can't see a product being any easier to use than Reload. But one thing hasn't changed, Reload is still my favorite spray sealant/coating/protection system to use. Lot's of things have changed since then, new cars, new locations. I think I left a review for Reload about 4 or 5 years ago, it was a long time ago. Pricey up front, but worth it's weight in gold no doubt. Saves time, money, and effort in the long run. I have turned my father onto it, and since he has multiple work vehicles he likes to keep presentable, he is attracted to the ease of use and how long it lasts. Just remember to shake the container often, this prevents streaks. It is tough, and offers a great, crisp gloss. A pro turned me onto it a while back and from the moment I saw the results. Game changer is the firs thing that comes to mind, followed by WOW! I love this stuff. I have been using CarPro Reload on my daily drivers for 3 years now, just picked up my third bottle. ![]() Overall I would rate it very highly, and I will continue to use every few washes. It's super easy to apply but you have to pay attention to the wipe down as it will streak and require additional but not difficult work. I have now used it about 8 times since the spring and I can say that it does a really nice job of boosting the shine and making the finish more slippery and thus easier to clean. I found out after a whole lot of research and phone calls that GC & ReLoad share similar Si02 chemistry so it made sense for me to give it a try as a top coat/booster. While it may not be as good as some of the super premium products, it makes a white car glow without being over the top. ![]() I've been detailing my cars for 30 years and while many of you will say that Glasscoat is bogus, I can tell you for a fact that it's not. It came with the Simoniz Glasscoat which was applied by the dealer. Last spring I bought a super clean Arctic White 2014 MB E350 sedan. ![]() Highly recommended both for enthusiasts and professional detailers in a shop environment and mobile alike. This one sits at the top of that list and is ALWAYS in my shelf. A little goes a long way and with that said, I think the price is very good and this product lasts a loooong time even for me using it as a drying aid after pretty much every single wash unless I feel like using some other "topper" at the time since I have so many good ones. If you're getting any smearing or holograms, you're using way too much product, just get a damp towel and go over any smeary areas to remove the excess product and then go over it with a dry towel to buff to perfection. It's also great for reviving old coatings that don't quite come back to life after a good decon, this will bring the hydrophobics back up to tight beads and then you can just use it as a drying aid to maintain the hydrophobics. This product is VERY hydrophobic, even when used as a standalone on properly prepped paint (contact angle seems to be around 110). You don't need much and it makes the towel soak up the water very well and the streaks of water that are left behind after passing the towel quickly evaporate to leave a slick, completely clear finish vs if you just use a towel and no drying aid where the streaks of water tend to linger on and then leave towel streaks when they finally evaporate, which happens always in Puerto Rico since we have such high humidity. I've been using this since 2019 and I've been very happy with the product.
