CarPro Reload Reload review.

So I figured I would give the Carpro reload a try on my new 2019 red Civic ex 2dr red.
I first washed the car, clay bar, wash again, polish with a DA polisher and Meguiar's 205 Ultra Finishing Polish then wash again. I used carpro reload on one half of the car. It went on and wiped off with ease. It looked "ok", nothing special. I used it on the glass and plastic parts with slight improvement. On the other half of the car I used Collinite paste wax. The paste wax side looked much better imo. What a disappointment in the car pro. It's been 3 weeks now and there is zero beading in the car pro side. The wax side has faded a bit but still looks better. So in a nutshell I guess I would say the CarPro is in no way worth the $35 I kicked out for it and I will not buy it again. It helps with the plastic a little but that's about as far as I would go. It's not worth buying for the plastic because I thing Aerospace 303 is much better for half the price.

The reload is not really comparable to wax. It is really only supposed to be used if you have a ceramic coating on your car then after you wash it, wipe it down with reload. The reload will “reload” the glossyness and HD look back to the ceramic coating. If you don’t have a ceramic coating it is more or less just a glorified detail spray.

like tdurham19 mentioned - If I remember correctly, it is a topper/top-up on ceramic coated cars. Been a long time since I used it, but I remember using it as topper for cquartz every few months.

Have you used it? If so would you spend $35 on it again?

Yea I bought it for when I ceramic coated my car, since you need to apply the reload after you apply the ceramic coating. The ceramic coat itself is good for about 2 years give or take, during that time I will use the reload after ever 2-3 washes. Now if I didn’t ceramic my car the reload would be a waste of time and money. Your much better off with a polish and wax. But with a good ceramic coating and reload, it will be way more smooth, glossy, and last longer then a good polish and wax.

I just went on the Detailed Image web site and it says use it on paint, rubber, glass, plastic, coatings, pretty much anything.
