Reload Looks Greasy

[FUNX650]

That's one way to go.

Or you can master the product.

If you have any Reload to chuck, chuck it my way I will put it to good use!

As a refresher:
-What made you even think that I would have
any of this Sealant?

-I didn't allow any of this product's marketing
to master me.

Instead of diluting reload... why not just use it as a dying aid after the next wash. I've noticed a lot less potential for streaks when using it this way and saves you an extra step.

I am assuming since you are chiming in on the product you own it or at least have used it.

I have used it and all marketing aside its a great product.

Products' silica powder-compatibility?

It's not that I'm picking on Reload,
but all car-care manufacturers/resellers...that offer a host of products...seek to profit from people using their versions for each and every step of a "full-Coating-detail".

Marketing, in order for this to come to fruition,
often has no boundaries.

Bob, we love ya anyway! You bring much to the forum and it wouldn't be the same without you!

As I've said before, sometimes I appy reload and sometimes I do not. Really only when a vehicle must be subjected to moisture while the coating is curing. Reload really does add a good level of slickness to the coating though. Plus it works really well on glass and chrome. Reload has its place in my lineup.

I've gotten rid of all of my "traditional" sealants and simply use Reload as a stand alone LSP on vehicles that aren't being coated after correction. 10 minutes to apply, months of protection, incredible slick feel... why bother with the "other stuff" anymore :dblthumb2:

Here's a sample, when I try to wipe it with a microfiber all it does is smear more. Even spots that look fine will start to smear if I wipe it with a microfiber. I'm thinking diluting it is the answer.

It looks like you spray too much, really dont need much spritz on each panel, 2~3 maximum..
you need to use fresh MF, 1 for wiping on the reload, and another for wiping off, usually when you doing the whole car the MF get wet from former panels, so make sure to flip the mf to get Dry face while wiping.
the only reason we advise to use the Reload after CQuartz is for having a barrier for initial dry time , so no water spotting will happen.
if no rain or water you can do only the CQUK or the Cquartz coat.

•The amount of CQUK's silica-powder was raised from the pre-2014 level of 60%, to 70 % for the 2014's version.
-This silica powder is "blended-in", as an original part of the formulation.

•So why would a Reload end-user be expected to now blend-in its % of silica-powder with those of CQUK?
-(Probably better yet to ask: How could?)

•If CQUK-2014's extra 10% of silica powder can not stop water-spotting during its cure time...
-How can spraying some of Reload's small % of silica-powder...on top of CQUK within the first hour, or so...accomplish this feat?

You post a lot of "hazardous materials" replies. These products are meant to sit on a car, not meant to be consumed like candy.

Most things in this world cause some kind of issue, even breathing oxygen long enough causes death (Chuck Palahniuk said it better).

^^^Thanks for your contribution to the OP's thread.

In response to your above post:

•These car-care products have to be, somehow, applied to vehicles.
-Human beings are often the means of doing so.

•Products meant to sit on a car:
-Car waxes "sit" on a car
-Sealants and Coatings "bond"
-Any concerns of Human-health issues arising from
these similar/dissimilar processes?


•And: No! I will not apologize, or cease to voice my concerns, (or those of the global health-care community), regarding: "hazardous materials"...
That is: Until the folks that are actually in charge of AGO's forum say otherwise.

Wear respirators, gloves, and goggles then. Worse chemicals are handled daily without incident. The computer you are using is more dangerous to your health than reload is (both chemically and physically).

 

[BlackRam]

Where is it advocated to dilute reload over dark paint?
Would like to look more into it?
or just spray less per panel to get the same effect, yes?

thanks

Thanks for sharing the above chemicals-insight!

As such:
Do you have a copy of Reload's MSDS that you could also
share with the AGO forum community? Thanks again.

I think you could learn a lot by proceeding to the testing phase. Buy some, use proper PPE and use the product. It would be a great experiment. I bc/cc some baking pans to test new products or use an old hood.

{OK...your turn again. }

Conversely...I think that:
Without the use of approved ASTM testing protocols...
"testing-phases" by individuals are, at best, subjective.
Even more so when I read about:
"free product testing reviews".

-So why would I enthusiastically buy any product where the questions regarding its "characteristics" cannot be scientifically explained as to be true, or not, to my satisfaction.

-I, for one, don't pose questions just to be doing so.
Science...IMHO...should not be treated as if it is some
four-letter-word!

On the instructions on my Reload 2014 bottle. I would say check your bottle - if your bottle doesn't say it, then you shouldn't dilute it.

But I think I'm going to take Just's advise and try it undiluted first, and then if its not going on right (streaky/greasy/cloudy) then I'll dilute a small portion of it to try as a last ditch effort before getting mad at it :laughing:

 

[GreatAvalon]

Funny that you mention this because I've just purchased secondary fixtures that I'll be installing and running IR lamps in. Oddly enough, so far this year 90% of my correction clients have opted for a CQ coating.

Nice!!! That is the legit way!

 

[GreatAvalon]

I have used UK with and without reload. I prefer the end result with the reload applied.
I have also had great results using reload as a stand alone product.

Good to know - I'll definitely be using it when I do my coating. How often/do you reapply it?

 

[wlshephard]

For a stand alone product I reapply when it needs it or every 3 to 4 months.

On top of UK every 3 to 4 months.

Detaling is a stress reliver for me and I stayed away from coatings because I wouldn't have as much work to do on the car to keep me busy. So I was attracted to the Cquartz UK and reload combo. So anytime I have the urge to do somthing I can wash the car and apply reload.
