Can bare bones undercarriage spray be diluted? If so, with what, and does anyone do this? Thanks fellow OCDers.

Not sure that it's water based. I know the Adams one is not. I would guess it's not. Take a tiny bit and put it in another container with some water and see if it separates.

Firstly, welcome to the forum as this is your first post!
Secondly, although I've never used it, ive heard Bare Bones is very oily, meaning it most likely will not dilute with water. The above mentioned test will verify though!

Bare Bones is solvent based and will not cut with water.

If your looking for a wheel well dressing that can be diluted 4:1....
Meguiars D170 Hyper Dressing (http://www.autogeek.net/meguiars-hyper-dressing.html)

A gallon of this will last you. Not to mention just spray and walk away. Leaves a perfect no drip sheen.

This is exactly why I started using this over solvent based dressings.

Barebones will dry out and discolor your plastic with repeated use and make it look like crap. That is another CG product that I sent to the landfill.

^^statements are very true, however, after a rain Hypershine unlike Bare Bones is gone.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be trying some Hyper dressing. Now what to do with my bottle of bare bones.

I have been using Bare Bones for years (7+) and never experienced discoloring.

i don't like to use solvent based dressings in wheels wells and even on tires as well. use a water based dressing like hyper dressing as mentioned and another good one (personal favorite) is PERL...

Probably another user error.

CarPro Perl.

Tires dilute 1:1
Undercarriage/Wheel Wells: 3:1 (3 parts water:1 part Perl)

You can try different dilution ratio's - the one's I listed above are what I use.
