Carpro Reload

Post by Roc Hopper »

Hi guys
Just bought some of this stuff - it's lovely to use !
Haven't got any shots yet but last nights sunset looked spectacular in reflection
In use its pretty frugal not needing much per panel, which is best dealt with a panel at a time, application will be familiar to any who have used BSD but it doesn't smell so nice. CP recommend a squirt & immediate buff followed by a further buff with a clean MFC. From my somewhat limited experience folding the cloth into quarters and turning regularly is the way to go here.
I'm awaiting moisture for beading pics which I will bother you with & if the sunsets nice tonight I might pop out for a photo opportunity.

In fairness though I did give W a squirt of BSD on Sunday morning so it may not be the fairest test but when you get a new product you just have to have a go - right Devil ? :p
Also picked up some Carpro Reflect polish which I will report on in due course

Enjoy the sun guys

I haven't used that I have seen it though. might give it a try at some point. Yes I agree totally haha. What do you think of bsd?

I really like it. Used hardly any. And gives good protection for a quick detailer . The beading and sheeting it creates is unreal for what is simply a spray and wipe jobby.

Indeed I'm on my second bottle of BSD - it's cheap on Amazon too just now
But I'm a consumer whore & the boys on DW rave about Reload so I thought I'd give it a go

It's good stuff - easy to use & slick finish

May get some Reflect on this weekend unless Mrs H has plans for the garden !!

Yes its on amazon. I bought some for £8 deliverd and then emailed them complaing that it's misold as it shows in the pic it comes with a cloth. They then refunded me £2. So 750ml bsd for £6 is a bargain!!.

It's a bargain for sure but my Amazon bottle contained a different colour liquid from the CYC Previous bottle ?

So after arriving home at a reasonable hour I popped out to our local beauty spot for a fot or two with my trusty d7000 - as luck would have it some of the snaps were even in focus !!

We are a car pro authorised detailer and also stock sonax products. brilliant shine detailer and reload are applied similarly (not much product).

Reload lasts longer. Is really more for a top up for coated cars as opposed to a stand alone product, or to be used as a monthly spray sealant.
Great on wheels and glass too.
