OPC as a car wash?

[mcpp66]

For those of you that use OPC to wash your car to strip wax and make the paint as bare as can be, how much do you use in a 5-gallon bucket that's filled with 4-5 gallons of water? I'm looking for lubricity so that the paint will be safe from marring and also want it stripped of any waxes, glazes, or other oils.

I spray the product directly onto the paint, then wash the panel normally. I wash and rinse a panel at a time followed by a final rinse over the whole car.

Power Clean mixed in a bucket will not be strong enough.

Do you spray it diluted or at full strength?

If I have just polished I use 3:1 only removing residue. If stripping waxes and sealants I use full or 1:1.
