Hey guys, haven't posted in awhile and I wanted to do a mini review on some new products my cousin gave me. He recently purchased some CarPro Reload and Perl and was kind enough to give a bottle of both. So after finally getting to try some, I was really impressed by both. I just did a simple wash and wax on my car which was mildly dirty. I did not polish it as I did a AIO with Werkstat Prime at the beginning of the summer.
*I did not treat the front passenger side fender due to damage from my friend backing into it and will be fixed within week. I will being polishing it in the near future.
Products used for wash:
-2BM with OTC Mothers car soap
-Karcher Power washer
-Foam Cannon with mixture of CG Honeydew Snow Foam and Dawn Soap
-GC Grime Reaper 4:1 with Big Blaster Foamer Trigger
-Various wheel brushes
Before......
Washing.....
*Side Note: My cousin also gave be a Big Blaster Foamer Trigger to tryout and found the it splatter a bit too much as you can see.
Foam after cleaning wheels and windows....
After wash....
As you can see there is still a fare amount of beading from the Werkstat and also some Megs Ultimate Spray Wax.
The two items being applied...
Reload first, just one coat..
Reload wiped on
*Side Note: After reading other reviews on Reload, I found that for darker colors you can cut it to 1:1 (distilled water). Some people found that if it wasn't cut 1:1 it would stain. I did experience some staining but after wiping with a clean MF it was as noticeable, but still there in certain light (see below).
Perl...
Perl was applied with cut foam pad and wipe on and wiped off.
I also tried it on my tries with just spray it on and let it sit for a bit.
Before:
Final Pictures.....
Final thoughts.....
The Reload was by far one of the better spray waxes I have used. I only sprayed 3-4 pumps of it on a MF and it would cover a 2x2 section on the car, easy on/off. Like I said above, it was cut 1:1 as was the Perl. I hope to polish the car in the next month when the weather is cooler and properly seal it.
The perl was also good exterior trim, easy on/off, same for the tires. Waiting to see how it holds up.
Keep it up Avi
