What's Your Ratio?

I wasn't quite sure which sub-forum this thread would fit in so I just made an educated guess and ended up here. Anyway, so what's your dilution ratio for the following things?

*Chemical, Solution : Water => i.e. Woolite, 10:1

- Interior cleaning:
- Engine cleaning:
- Wheel cleaning:
- Foam gun:
- Trim dressing:
- Tire dressing:
- Gentle car wash shampoo (non-wax-stripping):
- Car wash shampoo (wax-stripping):

- Polish mixtures:
- Other misc. mixtures:

 

I use whatever the situation calls for, but here's my usuals
- Interior cleaning: PowerClean 3:1
- Engine cleaning: PowerClean 1:1 or full strength
- Wheel cleaning: PowerClean 3:1 or stronger
- Foam gun: Optimum Carwash 3:1 in the tank, 4:1 setting (gives 1oz per gallon at tip)
- Trim dressing: Hitemp Bumper & Molding Renew, full strength
- Tire dressing: TOTL Best Dressed 1:1 via Wagner Control Spray
- Gentle car wash shampoo (non-wax-stripping): Optimum
- Car wash shampoo (wax-stripping): I prepsol to get wax off

- Polish mixtures: Ardex Smartcut Compound- Optimum Polish 70-30%
- Other misc. mixtures:[/QUOTE] ONR @QD strength with 10% denatured alcohol on windows.

 

Thanks for the response integrity. Anyone else care to share their dilution ratios?

The ratio depends on what company's chemicals you are using. If it is a general use chemical it then depends on what you are cleaning and what surface you are cleaning on. All those products have different formulas. Then it also depends on how much you pay for your chemicals too.

$10 a gallon of 20:1 concentrate is the same as
$5 a gallon of 10:1 concentrate

As a general rule:
$10-$12 a gallon for a 20:1 cleaner/degreaser is average

 

Another thread of mine I'm bumping... so what's your ratio?

 

A little bit of this: with a little more water. Measuring is overrated. :thumb:

 

LoL, well said Dan, haha.

 

Interior cleaning: steam or undiluted 1z CP
- Engine cleaning: P21S undiluted
- Wheel cleaning: P21S undiluted
- Foam gun: Adam's with just a little bit of water.
- Trim dressing: Black wow undiluted
- Tire dressing: swissvax pneu undiluted
- Gentle car wash shampoo (non-wax-stripping): Swissvax shampoo undiluted
- Car wash shampoo (wax-stripping): adam's with some p21s TAW mixed in.

- Polish mixtures: menzerna undiluted

- Other misc. mixtures:

Carpet cleaner: CG lightning fast 2 parts water, 1 part chemicals.
Laundry spot cleaner: 3:1 micro-restore

 

I'm with Dan. I use the "that looks about right" measuring system.

 

Well I don't follow things to the "T" but it's always great to have a general idea of how much to use, hehe.
