Hi guys,
This is a 4 months durability test on Carpro Reload. Back in Oct 2016, Reload was applied on my daily driver. You can see my older post here http://carproforum.com/showthread.php?4377-CarPro-Reload-makes-my-silver-paint-blue-!!!. The car is parked outside 24/7. I try to wash it twice a month with Meg Deep Crystal Wash. I didn't use any other product to replenish or enhance the thin coat of Reload. I just wanna see how Reload would hold up on its own. You can see the video here. https://youtu.be/kbfAa6EMnGo.
This is my verdict (not that it counts for anything). Definitely, Reload is still present on the paint after 4 months. However, the gloss and the ability to repel water is diminished greatly. The car now just looks clean. If right after Reload was applied and the shine was a 10, now the shine is just a 4. Reload still repels water but once again it is just not aggressive as before. All the flat panels of the car ( the hood, top of the car and the trunk) take the biggest hit compared to the vertical panel like the doors and fenders.
So, I guess it's time again to re-apply another fresh coat of Reload. I wonder if I did a better job of maintaining / refreshing Reload by using Reset, the result would have been any better???
BTW I wanted to upload photos but website displays error. Do I have to resize the photos to upload? I took photos with my phone.
