Reload is definitely a pita, atleast the 2014 version is. I diluted mine over half water and I still get streaking. I`m going with Rupes sealant this time around.

What about the 2015 & 1/4 version.

Any feedback on that?

Hey, I finally got rid of my reload problems

The TAC system is similar to the Carpro lineup. Anyone have any problems with their sealant?

I ended up getting a 1 Liter of this for free... Should I even bother using it?? -_-

It depends on the date of manufacture. I believe the 2015 batch is bad. I think they reformulated (read added too much water, my opinion) after 2014. The CarPro boss posted on AG that they have sent new product to their retailers and you can return your bad product to the reseller for a new product. I`m just disappointed in CarPro for telling customers it was user error and not their product for so long. They made a ton of money selling a bad product short term, long term they lost credibility. I wrote them on their forum and was told it was Autopia`s problem, not theirs. It still burns me up. There are better products than Reload, much better.

The most PIA product I`ve ever used. Never again. I`ve got a nearly full bottle and an emptier wallet because of their f ups.

Denpending on the age. If you don`t want it I will pay shipping adn take it.

Unlike some I personally have never had any issues with ReLoad.

Personally, I haven`t had issues with Reload in a LONG time. However, I apply it a bit differently which maybe helps? I constantly see clients getting months of protection and incredible hydrophobics.

Here is my process for what it`s worth:

1. Use a Microfiber Applicator Pad
2. One mist on the pad (2 if you have the smaller sample bottle), then work in a 2x2 or slightly larger area. This is to prime the applicator (I re-spray a light mist every other section)
3. Mist the panel, but only with one or two mists - you don`t need much! Too much = streaking
4. Apply in a cross-hatch pattern with medium arm speed. I personally do one full cross-hatch pattern, but if you live in high humidity, consider doing a quick second one to help the product flash faster.
5. Depending on temp/humidity, I usually immediately wipe with a towel and buff

That`s the process I`ve personally found works best to avoid streaking. As a plus, using the applicator pad is MUCH easier IMO than a MF towel, and makes it go a lot faster.
Just a suggested route for those of you who have it but don`t use it anymore - try this method and see if it helps!

I know, you`re not a fan . But I wanted to outline my process because in my experience it works great. If someone has product that`s just sitting there, they may as well use it for something!

Go ahead Ron, we’ll blame it on the meds! Oh, and how did the polish and coating go?
