Bf CS or reload

[mbkite]

CS or reload on white Audi a4 for my daughter I want it to sparkle. Actually all my girls have white cars just worked out that way.. I have used liquid souveran and it dose look great but want to try something different poss black fire crystal seal.
What would u recommend thanks all..

I personally really like ReLoad. I have never used CS though so I cannot speak on their differences.

ReLoad is extremely easy to use... lightly mist onto surface or MF towel, gently wipe and it will begin to disappear. It takes maybe 10-15 minutes to do an entire car. Water beading is fantastic. I apply it every month or two, so I cannot really give much insight on its long term durability.

Some people complain of ReLoad streaking... that is usually because most people use too much product. If you use a small amount and spread it evenly over a small area, it is incredibly simple to use.

Seems like a lot of others like CS, so I doubt you'd be unhappy either way.

Crystal Seal....easy to use and looks great. I can do my F-150 Super Crew in 10-15 Minutes

Ditto. And if it does streak, just hit it with a QD or even better BF WD Polymer Spray (wait 3 hours after 2nd coat before doing this). I use CS for my summer detail and put another layer on every 2 months. 2 coats 3 hours apart. I think you actually see more gloss about 12-24 hours after you put it on.

I've only used BFCS so I can't comment on Reload but what's great about BFCS is the fact that it flashes in 45 minutes, so if you want to top it with something soon, you can, VERY soon infact!

I'd still wait 3 hours. That's IMO...I always err on the long side for cure times.

Can't speak on re-Load but CS is easy, priced well and a bottle can do about 35ish cars.

The thing that leaves me in want a little is durability. Probably 2-3 months conservatively.....but when it takes 10 min to hit a car, why not? It's a staple in summer but winter I go back to 845.

What I like about BFCS is that I already got a base of BFWD on, and BFCS or BFPS is just going to add more, maintain, or replace what is diminished.

Ohhhhhhhhhh....me likey. Replacing or maintaining the finish with a like polymer from the same family. Might have to give it a whirl...

Both are great products.

Yes, you can apply BFCS in 15min and it flashes very quickly. I do feel that saying a 45min flash time is deceptive and not really the standard. It will flash cure in 45min under the optimal conditions. But you are safer to wait 2 hours to make sure. It does add to that Blackfire look if you are using the other CF products. The durability is on par with other WOWA sealants. You can get 2-3 months from 2 coats depending on your conditions. I would not expect it to last that full time in the winter though.

CarPro Reload is a great spray on sealant / coating topper. I have CQUK and OC on 2 of my vehicles. Reload is a great top up product that has the water beading and sheeting of my coatings. I have not used Reload as a stand alone sealant for awhile and don't remember the full durability. But it is so easy to use as a post wash wipes down you don't mind using it every 2 months or so. Reload gives you the ease of use of a spray sealant with the water beading and sheeting of a coating.

That combo is called Rapid Fire. Use Blackfire TPnS and top with BFCS. You can also remove TPnS with Polymer Spray to add gloss.

OP I too havent used Reload but here great things about it. But BFCS is just to easy, I am on my 3 third bottle of this stuff and I use it on all the cars I do for friends and family as a topper.

IF you want a little bit more durability check out Wolfgang Deep Gloss Liquid Seal or Ultima Ultimate Paint Guard.

Yes, this combo works very well. For summer I use BFWD, let cure for 12 hours, then 2 coats BFCS 3 hours apart. I use WDPS after every wash and put another 2 coats of BFCS on after 2 months.
