Reload Problems

[Ronkh]

This time I diluted it 50/50

I`ve got water spots, oily holograms, high spot streaks you name it.

Tried ipa wipe = nuttin
tried eraser wipe = nuttin
Tried apc = nuttin

Car looks like crap !!!!!!

HELP

Pics not show well, but you get the idea

Ron, there has been quite a discussion on this over on CarPro-US. Basically this Reload 2014 v1 is very concentrated but is creating these issues.

The current solution is to apply Reload 50/50 to the paint and then follow it with a "damp" towel with just water on it. Then buff it dry. This should solve most of the issues.

It is my understanding that a revised Reload 2014 v2 is just hitting our shores and fixes these issues.

Hi Ronkh, Joseph T asked me to pop over and help you out. Reload version your using should have no issues if used as described below.

Note, streaks are either product not buffed off or product re-deposited by a towel with reload in it instead of a proper dry final wipe towel.

With Reload it cures to the paint much stronger than wax so the difference in application is that you need to wipe it off completely before it flashes off on its own.

1. Shake well
2. Spray only the amount needed for one section (not an entire panel)
3.-IMMEDIATELY spread the product out with a short nap Microfiber Towel (high quality though) and immediately buff in completely and off.
4.-IMPORTANT: Use a separate towel (preferably a high quality absorbent towel) This towel is to stay using dry sides throughout as your final wipe towel. With this towel immediately buff the area once more to be sure no streak remains
5.-Move to next section and repeat.

Note, any drops that blow onto other areas of paint may become streaky if left there awhile. As mentioned - one area and move on (not an entire hood) please let me know if this helps.


OK, now onto removing it after it was applied incorrectly. This is the hard part. Reload is VERY durable and your correct its not going to simply be wiped off using IPA or Eraser. Please give me a call and we can walk through what you have available and how we can go about removing the streaks.

High spots from Reload WILL wear off on their own but as I understand it you don`t have time to wait for such things. Give me a ring - 386-259-0759

Ron Call Corey!!! He is the man! I know he can get you through it!

I have not had this issue with Reload org. yet...

I think I would start by trying the same fix as they are suggesting for 2014 v1. And then I would send the 2014v1 back and get it replaced with v2.

[Ronkh]

Do I spray a lot like in vid, this is what happened when I sprayed lightly, wiped w damp micro, then dried

UHHHGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH

[Ronkh]

PS I did it in garage, then pulled it out

I tested Reload v2014 on my Kia, and only noted the bit of oiliness, no other issues. Of course we`re discussing the earlier version and I hadn`t noted any such issues with it.

But with the newer version I found this oily smearing to be quite stubborn, the damp towels, and even trying a couple detailing sprays would not budge it.

Out came the old school bottle of Colly #845 and it "knocked it right out"! LOL And the car looked really great after too as a plus.

Not sure, but they might also cut the smeariness you note.

I had me a deja vu with that Reload being greasy, transported back to the 90`s, and once using the horrid "Wally World Zymol" on my then Black `94 Lincoln Town Car.

You would`ve sworn I waxed he car with Crisco Shortening, no number of towels would budge the greasy smearing. Then out came Colly #476 Doublecoat,....perfect.

Had that happen to me on a test wax

I`m wondering if maybe the solvent content of colli, but then I also hit my car before this with both ipa and eraser ??
