Do I need to use reload or if the car is to remain garaged for a week following the application can I skip the reload untill the next wash? I haven't really found a similar question but have seen mixed suggestions in different scenarios. My understanding is the reload is a sacrificial layer applied ontop of the ceramic to prevent the ceramic curing with water spots. Would it still be advisable to apply the reload after the 7 days to prevent water spotting? Or what other benefit would this have?
Sorry if this is a duplication of a previously asked question but I couldn't find anything definitive for my question.
Thanks.
