Note: These pictures were taken the following weekend when I took possession of the vehicle again to finish the touch up paintwork. On this vehicle it was applied to wheels as well.Īnd this is what it looked like after. 5-10 for this size vehicle not including wheels. Simply put the Taurus went through its due process before getting to the Reload Step.Ġ9 Reload Application.wmv - YouTubeĪs you can see application takes place in a matter of minutes. I’ll save the story that emerged over the next three days for another thread(s). This is what it looked like when I started. Here is another vehicle I worked on a couple weeks ago. Well, before I had finished the first vehicle I was so happy with the ease of use and small amount of product needed I decided I would use it on the other car as well and continue my experience. I wasn’t expecting this seamless application. I had read somewhere that application had been difficult, which was one reason I had my OCW near by as backup. I continued my application of spray/wipe/flip/wipe and noted that it took very little product to coat each panel. Not sure how that works but I was very happy! As I was moving to the next section I discovered the weird spot/stains I had were gone from the area I had applied Reload. Then I flipped the towel over and buffed it with the fresh side of the towel. With the vehicle under shade I sprayed half the hood twice and immediately wiped half the hood down with my rolled edge mf towel. I dried the vehicle and washed and dried the next as well.Īfter doing some other detailing I decided to put off any polishing attempts for the next time and go ahead and get to the fun part. Little spray dots and streaks… So as I considered getting out the paint cleaner or Flex I decided to keep moving on the tasks at hand. I tried to wash it a couple times with my UPGW and mitt I had in the bucket but it wasn’t budging. As I was rinsing I found I had somehow stained the paint with the cleaner. Typically when I do this I use my apc 3:1 but this time used it straight applying it to the wet panel and instantly wiping and then rinsing. So after the initial wash I went over each panel one at a time with an apc and my wash mitt to remove any oils. I also figured (considering the price) I didn’t want to use a bunch up on 2 cars so I planned to use the Reload on one and the OCW which I have a gallon of on the other. I was looking forward to using the Reload but having never used it before I decided to bring a reliable backup I was familiar with.

I finally started using Reload over the past month or so and spent a little time reading up on its technology as I was writing this review.

When I first heard of Reload I thought to myself, “Well, I have plenty of spray sealants and I don’t need another.
