Do multiple Reload coats improve durability or other properties? Is there a recommended procedure/timing for multiple coats?

Is there a cleansing chemical that can remove old Reload without polishing/abrasives before applying a fresh coat of Reload? Would PolyShave do this? Does it even matter if there is old (5-6 months) Reload under your fresh coat, would it reduce durability? Thanks!

Doing a second coat might insure complete coverage. But i am not sure it is worth it.

If it's been 5-6 months, you washed with Reset and the paint still looks good, just give it a wipe down with Reload and enjoy the quick easy protection. Reload v2015 is totally awesome.

Great advice already from Ebg18t! No need to remove previous reload. To answer you directly, There isn't any wash that is strong enough to remove it. The Four Star Cleaner (http://www.carpro-us.com/paint-cleaners/four-star-ultimate-pre-wax-cleanser-16-oz/) on a foam pad will probably do so if you wanted to. More important is to remove any road oils or soap film or anything that stops the new coat of Reload from bonding. My advice is wash regularly with Reset, after 6 months do an Iron X bath if needed and really good rinse and add more reload.
