    Sic and Reload

    Hi, I can see Sic on the site and in the specifications it says:
    Do NOT top with Reload during initial installation. Reload can damage SIC if used in the first few days. SiC is very slick on is own and in fact more slick then Reload.
    I can't use any topper over Sic, even after 4 to 6 months of application? should I not use anything for maintenance?
    And if I use it, I lose the Sic properties ??
    thanks

    Hi Dacdri, I think I answered you also on Facebook very early this morning. It was something like this below:

    Hi Davidson, you can use Reload after SiC after 4-6 months no problem. It will not decrease the slickness after that unless it sat in a garage without driving for 4-6 months as well… in that case it will still have the full slickness of Sic with no environmental damage to have take any of it off. We would not apply Reload until after fully cured as it is a waste of time and only takes away from the superior slickness that SiC provides on its own

    Hi Corey, what would you suggest to use as a weekly drying aid after Essence and 2 coats of sic? Ech2o 1:15 or Elixir?

    I love Sic, and the second coat goes on so easy it’s a dream. The beading literally made me chuckle the next time I washed the car.

    Many thanks

    Weekly would be Ech2o. If you need protection later on then elixir.

    And 1:20 for EcH20 or you will be coming back stating it’s streaky.
