Do you have a specific brand of microfiber towel you recommend? If not, what specifications for the towel should I be looking for. I noticed you mentioned 16x16 but is there a specific pile length that you recommend?
You can put Reload on plastics, aluminum or chrome trim as well as glass if you like. Just make sure you dry wipe with a fresh towel on glass to ensure you get any residue off.
Can i use this product when i wash my ceramic coated car as maintaining? Or better dry the car properly and use another product as a top coat on the ceramic? I actually look for extra shine gloss look than hydrofobics. Please advise.
Jerico, you should remove the wax first. This can be done with a wash soap formulated for stripping wax. Or you can remove the wax with a mix 30-40% mix of Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) in a spray bottle and wipe down with soft microfiber towel. Only use IPA method after the vehicle is cleaned. The sealant (Reload) needs to have clean bare paint or coating to bond to.
Reload is designed to specifically go over a ceramic coating to 'top up' the gloss and hydrophobic properties, but it isn't actually a quick detailer spray as such. If you wanna make your own quick detail spray, you can mix the carpro reload with carpro ech2o and distilled water. Or just use carpro elixir. Its basically that same solution but more stable
Depending on the size of the vehicle, but we usually go through 4 16x16inch microfiber towels for a sedan. The trick to Reload is to ensure you remove all the residue. Most complaints of streaks is from not follow up and wiping with fresh towels. This ensures there is no residue left behind.
Use CarPro Elixir every time you wash. That’s the quick detailed version. Use Reload every 6-12mo Reload can’t be used in the sun and can streak if you’re not super careful. Elixir is the same but less concentrated so can be used every wash and in the shade
@@ansonooi3860 no, it won't last long I would recommend graphene coating now. much easier to apply. just wash your car with a strip wash and then apply the graphene. I used glassparency graphene
Yet you apparently watched the video. Some people want to hear what an expert has to say about application. The first time I used it, I had some streaks. After I watched the video and followed the instructions on the video, it worked great. I’m appreciative of the content and apparently not alone.
There's so much unspoken information in the video that an idiot like me can learn from. Like how much product he uses, the approximate amount of wipes/pressure, etc. In general a video says 10x more than the descriptions on a bottle.
Thank you Sir Distinctive! Bestest Reload video seen so far! Was thinking using this on top of Gyeon Pure coating as it uses Cquartz like CarPro! 👍
Can this be used on stealth ppf?

Get rag company edgeless. It is amazing
I get the thick micro fibers from Costco. Super cheap and one of the highest qualities I’ve seen.

Use a washine machine with no heat, let them air dry and use Tide Free and clear detergent. It has no dye and wont damage the towels

What’s the differences between reload and quick detailer spray ?
Reload is designed to specifically go over a ceramic coating to 'top up' the gloss and hydrophobic properties, but it isn't actually a quick detailer spray as such.
If you wanna make your own quick detail spray, you can mix the carpro reload with carpro ech2o and distilled water. Or just use carpro elixir. Its basically that same solution but more stable
@@DownUnder_Auto_Detailing Very nice info Sir! Thanks! 👍 EDIT: But how much of each product would you use to mix your own detailer?
Could you use Hydro2 lite after washing when rinsing, then use reload after drying?
Hydro2 works great as an in wash replacement to using Reload. If you are looking for a drying aid, check out Elixr.
Thanks ! Good tips
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the video!
