I usually us Megs QD for clay lube, but it gets a bit expensive when 10 bux of QD only lasts for 2-3 cars. Can I use Megs Gold Car wash or DP car wash and diluted it with water by a certain ration? I also want to be safe, so if those arent options, Ill stick to the megs qd.

Thanks.

I use DP 4-in-1 Rinseless wash for my clay lube. 1.5 oz mixed with 32 oz of water in a spray bottle. And 32 oz bottle of DP 4-in-1 is only $15.99

Im getting 4in1 with my next order, but Im not ready yet...

I was thinking 1 oz megs gold, 1 oz DP and the rest water in a megs QD spray bottle?

DP 4-in-1. Add 1/2 oz of soap to 16 oz bottle and you are set.

Ive got the foam gun and foam cannon from Justin. So after Im finished washing the car, Ill leave it wet. Then go around with 1 oz. of CG soap in my AG foam gun and clay. I just do a panel at a time, then rinse the soap off. Then when Im done Ill soak the car with whatever is left in the foam gun, then rinse with the pressure washer, dry, and its ready for polish.

Thanks for all those suggestions, but I need to wait for my next order to get 4in1, and as far as foam guns go, I am probably going to try the Lowes kind for fertilizer lol
Its either a concoction of Megs wash, megs qd, DP wash, and water, or just megs qd.

As many are claying when they wash you can just fill your bottles with a similar strength soap mix. I've always used a lot of lube when I clayed so speciality lube was too expensive. For years I used a soapy water mix with no problems. I use rinseless washes now so that is what I use for lube. I use ONR but DP4N1 works just as well.

So what would you guys say to a Mixture of 1 oz Megs GC Wash, 1 oz DP wash, and 1oz Megs QD and the rest water? All of those seem to be filled with lubricants.

I really like ONR clay lube mix, and I add a little bit of soap for better lubrication. works great and it's super cheap to do
