Not really. gotta use soap in a bucket so RESET is just a soap.
I always used a detailer after every wash anyway. RELOAD goes on just like a quick detailer. There is a recipe of a echo/reload/water mix that makes a QD that saves some money.

Look great. Inspires me to self apply CQuartz after all the other steps, which I plan to do anyway.

Very Nice! Definitely Reload on that puppy like mentioned above! You will love how easy it is to maintain and keep that high gloss, even after driving through rain.

Reload doesn't need to be used weekly. One application of it lasts 6 months. I do top it every 3 months with a Hydrofoam wash. For a detail spray when drying, the ECH20 or Ultima waterless wash plus concentrate. ECH20 mixed 25 to 1. The Ultima mixes 44 to 1 and is a better value. I see absolutely no difference in the appearance of the car using either one as a drying aid. If your doing a pooling rinse after washing, you'll have so little water left on the car, a detail spray isn't really needed if your using a high quality plush microfiber for drying.

How soon after ceramic coating can I apply the reload?

I washed with Reset and applied Reload about 2 weeks after the Cquartz was applied. Now using rinseless with Echo2 until the next Reload application. Per my detailer, I applied the Reload when drying after a 2 bucket wash, ie a wet towel, and it worked great, no streaking or issues.

I came back to this thread after looking at it a day or two ago. Kept thinking about how amazing your car looked. Great job. Been tempted to take a stab at applying the coating to my red hot ZL1. Only problem is I spent 14 hours on a 6 step sealing detail last weekend. FML
