I'm not a coating user- what's Reload similar to?
Beadmaker?
Anyone tried it yet?
Not really.
EliXir is probably closer to Bead Maker in terms of gloss improvement and longevity.
Reload is a bit more substantial, more so with the new version.
Longevity is said to be improved, be that as a topper or standalone. To me, I don't think its realistic to expect something like this to last a long time, and with the easy application, that really isn't a problem in my opinion.
I have Kamikaze Cleansing on hand and will use that followed by Cquartz Lite.
Have you ever used Gyeon Can Coat? Curious how it and Cquartz Lite compare to each other.
The new Reload 2.0 is a incremental improvement on the original.
Compared to the original, Reload 2.0 is easier to apply with less streaking and less wiping required to deliver a clear finish. You would still use two towels for application though.
After application, the gloss and slickness were certainly very pleasing, the water behavior is great too.

As Guz mentioned, the improvement is not light years ahead of the original, but the changes are worthwhile and noticeable, to me at least.
:iagree:My go to topper.

That's all that matters. If you enjoy using it, then use it. 99% of most spray sealants only last weeks to a few months AT MOST. Especially in terms of hydrophobicity. Sealants will always lose their hydrophobics after a few weeks. But the positive is they are easy to apply and you can just use them after every other wash.
After I apply cquartz light i may try Reload. Not concerned about durability with a spray sealant.
I saw the release of this a while ago...and was intrigued. Then I saw the price for a bottle (average price I saw was $35/bottle 17 oz.). I would think there are a lot of better products for less money out there. I had major streak issues with v1.0, so unless this is drastically improved, then I will pass. Thanks for the review

I'm glad someone see's it from this angle too.
I have the same sentiments with Bead Maker. The way it makes paint look and feel is enough for me, if it washes off at the next wash, because I use it (and others) as a drying aid, who cares how long it lasts.
