HOW-TO: Reload 2014V1 (New and Improved) like a Pro

CARPRO RESET AUTO SHAMPOO (500ML) 16 OZ

CarPro Reset was formulated as the perfect partner to nanotechnology based sealants and coatings, with cleaning properties tailored to their unique needs. Utilizing Intelligent pH Surfactants, Reset breaks down road grime and traffic films with the power of an alkaline cleaner, whilst being as gentle on the surface as a pH-neutral shampoo. Afterwards Reset quickly rinses free from the surface, leaving behind no soap residues or interfering silicones, and restoring the beading and dirt releasing properties (The ‘Hydrophobic Effect’) of the surface to help maintain its protection. Combined with excellent lubrication, a strong foaming action for improved dirt suspension, and a high dilution ratio, this makes for a highly effective and economical wash. At the same time, Reset is almost entirely based upon naturally occurring, organic ingredients, making it as safe for the environment and for the user as it is for the vehicle. If dirt is hiding the beauty of your car or motorcycle, then you know that it is time for a Reset!

I knew that question was going to come up. I laid this baby thick (as you can see from the picture of the hood) and in all I would say that I had used a good 3-3.5oz.

Thanks Claude. From the photo is did look like a lot, but it obviously worked well for you with some of the most adverse conditions one can expect.

At nearly $7 per application (on a huge vehicle) it's pretty expensive - do you plan to dilute it 1:1 in the future?

It was a LOT on purpose (and to test the theory that too little may have caused some of the problems). I am definitely not planning on using more than what I normally used in the past which is about 1-1.5oz for the whole truck.

As I expressed in the original post I do not really intend to dilute (or at least don't want to) for fear that it may degrade some of the incredible properties of 2014... have you seen the torture video out there?
 
Please note that prep is the key for Reload's longevity!!

:iagree:

I've always applied Reload on humid day.
It makes the product flash faster if there is any high spots.

I've never experienced the streaking by just doing the following (even with V1):
1. Wipe the paint with Prep All, wax will interfere with the bonding thus creating those streaking problems
2. Then I used a short nap microfiber towel for the application and spreading Reload, about 5 squirts for a 3'x3' area
3. Let Reload dry for 30 secs
4. Follow with a separate long nap microfiber to buff
