CARPRO Reload 2.0 Ceramic Spray Sealant 500mL — Silica + Siloxane Hydrophobic Topper, Fast Wipe-On Protection

CARPRO Reload 2.0 is a spray-on silica + siloxane ceramic sealant that delivers durable hydrophobic protection and high-gloss enhancement for paint, trim, glass and more.

Reload 2.0 combines modified SiO2 (quartz) silica nanotechnology with siloxane chemistry in a water-based spray formula designed to be applied quickly to many exterior surfaces. It serves both as a standalone sealant for everyday drivers and as a rapid topper to refresh the protection and shine of existing ceramic coatings. The product emphasizes easy wipe-on/wipe-off use, increased gloss compared with the previous formula, and longer resistance to environmental contaminants.

How does Reload 2.0 improve water beading and drying times?

Reload 2.0 lays down a slick, low-surface-energy layer that forces water to bead and run off quickly, reducing water spotting and making drying faster. The hydrophobic effect also helps loosen dirt and road grime during rinses, lowering friction during drying and polishing.

• Creates immediate super-hydrophobic beads that sheet away water.
• Speeds up post-wash drying and reduces towel drag.
• Helps prevent light water spotting between washes.

Can I use this on all exterior surfaces and over other coatings?

Yes — Reload 2.0 is formulated to be safe on paint, clear coat, glass, plastic and rubber trim, and can be applied wet or dry. It works well as a quick topper for existing ceramic coatings like CQuartz and functions as a standalone sealant for short- to medium-term protection.

• Suitable for paint, wheels, glass, vinyl and plastic trim without staining.
• Compatible as a maintenance layer over cured ceramic coatings such as CQuartz.
• Can be applied after proper surface decontamination and cleaning.

What durability and resistance should I expect from a single application?

When used as a standalone sealant on a daily-driven vehicle, Reload 2.0 typically provides up to three months of enhanced gloss and water repellency under normal conditions. The updated formula improves resistance to environmental and chemical exposure compared with the previous version, though longevity depends on traffic, weather and maintenance habits.

• Proven to offer up to approximately three months of protection on typical daily drivers.
• Improved chemical and environmental resilience over the prior formulation.
• Helps keep surfaces cleaner between washes, reducing maintenance frequency.

How should I apply Reload 2.0 for best results?

Start with a clean surface free of waxes, oils and solvents; avoid application in direct sun or on hot panels. Spray lightly onto a panel or microfiber applicator, wipe evenly, then buff off with a clean microfiber cloth; it can be applied to surfaces that are wet or dry for rapid topping and maintenance.

• Ensure paint is fully decontaminated and free of oils or waxes before use.
• Apply in shade, panel by panel, using spray-on / wipe-off technique.
• Use clean microfiber towels for leveling and final buffing to maximize gloss.

Who is this for? CARPRO Reload 2.0 is aimed at car owners, detailers and enthusiasts who want a fast, sprayable ceramic-style sealant that boosts gloss, repels water and grime, and simplifies maintenance. It’s ideal for people who want an easy-to-apply maintenance layer for coated cars, a protective standalone sealant for daily drivers, or a rapid shine enhancer before shows and meets. If you need a wipe-on/wipe-off solution that is gentle on trim, quick to apply, and delivers notable water beading and gloss, Reload 2.0 is a practical choice.
