So what seems to be the most common mixture of EcH2O and Reload? Curious to see what you all use. Is be using this as a drying aid/ topper for McKees 37 paint coating. Looking to mix up a gallon of this stuff.

I am mixing the ratio on the lean side and having great results.
For Ech2o 1 oz to 20oz water. Reload at 2 oz to 20 water. So for a gallon approx.

6.5 oz ech2o and about 12 oz of reload.

1.5oz of ECH20, 2oz of Reload and 28.5oz of distilled water for a "topper." This works very well and is conservative of product.

Hoping Eldorado would pop in. I think he has his own mixture too

This is the exact mix that I did for my 1st bottle.^

However, I think I'll be moving away from mixing Reload into it as I see no additional benefits [i.e. It doesn't hide light swirls the way Reload undiluted does. Reload smells horrible. I can't imagine all the shine coming from Reload alone]

Overall I've been pretty let down by the lack of smoothness when using the Ech2o/Reload mix. The towel just drags... I'm looking forward to using Ech2o on it own @15:1

Are you still planning on using reload as a topper here and there?

I'm not a big fan of Reload because of its weak protection. However it really excels on black vehicles due to its nice shine and ability to hide swirls when used straight.

Damn. I just bought it for nothing pretty much then lol. Maybe I'll throw an oz in. I'm sure some would help more than not using it

After going through an entire 32oz bottle of Ech2o/Reload mix, I retract any negative comments I initially stated about it... It just took a bit of getting used to the feel of applying it, I had to remind myself to sort of treat it more like Reload than what I was expecting [I guess I got used to Wolfgang Uber]

But more importantly, the final gloss left behind from using Ech2o mixed with Reload is pretty phenomenal... But I want to try see what Ech2o can do on it's own, so I mixed up my 2nd bottle with only Ech2o @10:1 I'm about to try it out on my car.

keep us in the loop, I have ech20 mixed with cure ATM, but I was suing straight ech20 prior to, it still had amazing gloss and shine, not to sure on durability as it was never to long between washes before I applied something else to my car to test that out..lol

It seems a bit fussy on black paint. Even the newer version.
