Using Carpro Reload

I used reload a few years ago was very unsatisfied with it. It left all sorts of high spots on the paint that I had to polish off. So I gave it up and went back to the polymers like Crystal seal…

When I heard that reload was being reformulated to take care of this, and was suggested after essence, I tried it again with the new formula and it was much better. However I learned something from one of the videos here, that I was using entirely too much. I was actually spraying the paint with it and then working it around. It is absolutely much better if you spray the applicator, and just wipe it on, even though you can't really see it going on.... Try it 2 coats like this, you'll like it.

I always spray the paint, any videos I have watched show spraying the paint then work/wipe it in. Might have to try it that way instead.

I ended up with a few high spots on my black car. After I saw the YouTube video, I applied Reload to my wife's 2015 Rogue with an applicator, and it is a much more controlled application. I will be using this method from now on.
