Used reload 2014 again today on my gloss black golf, nothing different with application except a higher humidity. Smearing was awful! And I just couldn't stop it regardless of how I changed my application technique so gave up
pulled out megs ultimate QD and it's looking nice and sharp again...
Not really it is very diluted. It will probably diminish it a little and affect water behaviour but not remove. using an all purpose cleaner would probably help a little more.
I use it as a pre wash and shampoo as part of a decon process but always follow up with iron and tar removers...
Clay is a good bet at removing overspray, but it will typically induce it's own marks that will require polishing out. It won't remove clearcoat
How long has it been there, maybe the use of a chemical cleaner might help first
Either autofinesse rejuvenate of lime prime out of those listed, but you'll only really get any cut from them using them by machine. Certainly none by hand.
SRP has next to no cut at all like tripple, it's more the chemical cleaning and the physical cut from the pad used to apply it
Powerseal is a sealant, ie a synthetic liquid wax so is used instead of waxing. But it does not replace polishing or cleansing.
Best way to apply it is using a dual action polishing machine. If you don't have one it can be applied by hand using a foam pad but requires working quite a bit to get...
Finishing compound and pad did a pretty good job on RyG's ST. I used Scholl S30 but could have gone for S40 if I had it as some panels were pretty soft and leaving holograms. Ryan used menz black finishing pad and M205 with a DA pro and was getting pretty good correction.

if application was the issue it wouldn't bead at all surely? What I'm saying is none of my LSP's will be like that above after not being washed for a couple of weeks be it wax, sealant or nano sealant. If there's enough of a layer of dirt or...
My car was washed 9 days ago and is currently wearing nanolex ultra on all panels apart from the bonnet which is wearing GTechniq EXO V1. Car is covered in typical summer dust.
Just misted the front of the car with a hose and beading wasn't as uniform as that pictured above. Soaked the front...
3 weeks is the longest any of my cars have gone without washing and at the end of 3 weeks water behaviour is well and truly hidden by dirt and grime, or summer dust.
If that's beading after 5/6 weeks of not being washed it must live in a bubble
If you have the original blue bonnet, keep that on till you can afford to have the alu bonnet sprayed so your car doesn't look like it's had a front end shunt
Im in need of a cheap swirl spotter again, any chance you can put another picture up please. Can't quite make it out in the reflection shots on your latest detail
As you're not that far from me, I'd imagine you cars are covered in a fair amount of dust as well? Reload seems to perform well enough that with a good rinse all this washes straight off without touching it. Looking forward to using it over winter
Top work on the interior, I hate doing that job so would more than likely told them to do it themselves!
You our must be getting good at this to do a car that size to that standard in just one day. Fair play to you. I hope you charge then well

sorry can't make this as I'm on baby sitting duties whilst the Mrs is out on the town
Can't say that there was too much difference in the performance when compared with tardis, just the price but I can't justify stocking 5l of any products other than shampoo and maybe QD
