How to remove Reload

Hi all,

Greetings from Australia :-)

As much as I love Reload as a sealant, I've decided to go down the coating path. To do that successfully and to maximise durability of my coating, however, I need to completely remove the Reload that's already on my car.

Does anyone know if there's an easy way to remove Reload? I've previously read that once cured, Reload can't be removed by CarPro Eraser. Is this true? I have the 2015 version of Reload.

If I dilute a stronger concentration of IPA, say at 1:1 ratio, would that be able to remove Reload?

Or is compounding the whole car the only way? Do I need to use compound, or can I use a light polish?

Many thanks!

Only way to completely remove it (for sure) is at least a light polish, like Reflect. I would recommend polishing prior to coating any way! Wipe down with Eraser after polishing to remove all traces of polish and thoroughly clean the paint prior to coating.

Thanks Dark Horse!

The car has just been recently polished, panel by panel, over the past 5 weeks. In the interim, I've used Reload to protect the polished panels until I decide whether or not to go down the coating route. Now that I've decided, I need to now remove Reload :)

Will definitely be giving it a light polish before applying the coating. Are there enough abrasives in Reflect to remove Reload, or would you recommend a compound instead?

Of course, I'm aiming to use the least aggressive method to get the job done :-)

Thanks

You'll be fine using Reflect.
 
You could always enjoy it until it needs help again.
