I figured this out before but right now I'm drawing a huge blank. I need the simpleist way to figure out how to mix up solutions i.e 10:1, 5:1, ect, ect. Right now I'm trying to mix up a 2:1 solution (2 parts solution 1 part water) in a 16oz bottle. Since I suck at math big time I need help :confused:, whats the esiest equation to follow and more importantly what the answer :D (2 parts solution/1 part h20).

uh... 5.3 oz of water and 10.6 of solution.

I would think

What equation did you use?

well 2:1 is 3rds. So... 16/3 = 5.333333333333333333333333

One more edit... as long as you are using 1:x ratios it should be super easy.

Like 10:1 would be 16oz / 10 = 1.6 oz of water to 14.4 oz solution

I just guess at ratios, what's the worst that could happen? Melt the paint, blow myself up?

I think it's anti-detailing addiction drug protype, might cause restlessness, upset stomach, and desire to mate opposed to trying new detailing supplies.

LOL no I'm diluting some Chemical Guys PRO-DETAILER+1XCarnauba -Quick Detail Spray & Waterless Carwash. As a waterless wash they recomend you dilute it 2:1 because of the carnuba in it, diluting it helps eliminate streaking and saves money you $$.

I'm picturing one of you guys in the news for developing a carnauba explosive:D

Yeh I was always kinda confused on the ratios, couldn't find the right bottle for example with my OP/OC which people would mix. So I just would put some OC on the pad along with a little OP and it worked fine.

Wally World sells bottles with the ratios on them 10:1, 9:1, 8:1 ,ect, ect....I just could figure out the 2:1

What is this Wally World everyone talks about, only one I know of was in Lampoons Vaction:D. Is it like an acronym for Wal-Mart?
