I use reload today on a dark blue mustang today it looks ok in the sun but in the shade i have streaks in the paint. Can that be fixed or do i have to remove and reapply if i have to remove it how would i do this.
 
Thanks how do i remove the streaks that are already on my car?
 
I had the same problem,was told from CarPro us I was wrong. Try using a damp microfiber first,then wipe dry,this should help.

Like stated you could try a damp microfiber towel, or one or two sprays of Carpro eraser on microfiber towel(if help's then check that area still beads) or last hope would be to use CarPro Reflect Polish very lightly/check frequently to be sure that you removed the streaks, though you may have to reapply
 
Shouldn't need to polish. First try applying more Reload to the area and buff off with a wet MF, then quickly dry and remove streaks with a plush, dry MF.

I was SO friggin frustrated with this product when I started using it, my question for you is this, Did you dilute it? I had the same issues with my application, darker streaking all over, made me crazy!! I corrected it by diluting it 60-reload/40-water and my streaking problems were gone and now I LOVE this stuff!! You will need to re apply to correct streaking. But using a good microfiber (haven't tried damp) and the proper dilution for darker cars and you too will love it! Good luck, let us know how it goes!
 
With the older version, it was recommended to dilute 1:1 for black or darker colors. I haven't used the 2014 version so I can't offer this advice to be 100% true for the new version.

Are you spraying onto MF towel or directly to the panel?
Short or long nap MF?
 
I have the 2014 version. I did not dilute but i will give it a try. I think i put to much on. They say a little goes a long way. I will try tomorrow on my jet black BMW I will try dilute 1:1.
 
A little definitely goes a long way. Try spraying onto your MF first as well, that makes a big difference in the end result. Buff off with separat towel.
 
Please provide an update after you have had a chance to try it diluted. I am about to attempt my first coating and it will be on my black Lexus RX with CQuartz UK. CarPro and professional detailers alike are recommending topping with Reload one hour after coating. But this streaking issue makes me think I may want to skip that step. the car will be in a garage, so water spotting shouldn't be an issue anyway.
