Cure time using reload over fresh cquartz standard

So after researching I'm coming up some conflicting info. Cure time, without IR lights, is 48 hours. Reload can be applied within an hour of cquartz going down, correct? How does that affect cure time? From what I was reading at that point it's good to go.....cure time is essentially immediate. Which I found odd.

Applying Reload has no effect on the cure time of of the coating.

Below are some tips for basic Care and best practices:

1.- RELOAD may be applied 1 hour after application (not before that) if you think the vehicle is going to be exposed to rain within a 24 hour period. I prefer to wait longer "if" possible. However some folks may not be able to keep the vehicle in a garage overnight.
2.- Do not wash with soap for 7 days after application.
3.- DO NOT use any harsh chemicals, APC's, Iron X, Trix, or Tar X for the first 30 days. If using TarX after 30 days, do not allow a long dwell time or rub excessively hard.
4.- Hand wash vehicle regularly with CarPro Reset http://www.carpro-us.com/auto-wash/c...-1-liter-32oz/
5.- Occasionally (every 3 to 6 months) decontaminate surface with CarPro Iron X. Use during wash cycle (after Reset)
6.- Apply CarPro Reload http://www.carpro-us.com/coatings-se...l-new-formula/ for special occasions, any time you like, or after Iron X if you like to have a schedule for such things. Reload is not needed but will keep the hydrophobic layer in perfect condition.

Awesome! Thanks, that helps a bunch. They'll be in my garage until they're picked up. Just curious if they had to be picked up prior to the 48 hour window. So chances are I'll wait 8-12 hours before topping with reload right before it heads out my doors.

Basically if you CAN wait till next day or longer then DO it! IF it has to be released to weather sooner then it should be then you can apply Reload in the 40-60 min. range. If you wait past one hour then you can run into some finicky - "ness" for a few hours past that because the coating is in its phase of transforming from gel to solid.
