Isn't this what CarPro Elixir basically is? Ech2o (an sio2 waterless/rinseless wash), Reload (an sio2 sealant), and a bit of Hydro2 iirc.

Yes they are both homemade concoctions. Elixir is Si02 based and mine is Acrylic polymer based. My car sit's outside 24/7 and I've found Si02 products give me grief with water spots that are hard to remove. Acrylic polymers have eliminated that problem for me.

Mixing products with a wash product will work if they are water based. You'd have to ask the manufacturer if a particular product is water or solvent based.

well guys my bad dream became a realty today....it rained hard here the other day so my car got washed...so today I mixed 50/50 WF SIO2 waterless spray wash and BF SIO2 paint sealant and it buffed on and off easy....I am glad I did it the car came out smooth and glossy...

Nice, but I think your using way to much BF Si02 paint sealant. I think you can get great results using much less. By my calculations if your making your concoction in a qt. bottle your using .50 cents of rinseless wash and $25 of Si02 sealant. Not very economical.

I'm assuming your using:
BLACKFIRE Wet Diamond Waterless Wash Concentrate, car wash concentrate
BLACKFIRE SiO2 Spray Sealant

The sealant component in my mix equals about 12%. Yours equals 50%. My mix cost $3 a qt. Yours costs $25 a qt.

Thanks Dennis....next time I will use less sealant...$25 compare to $3 is a big difference...all I did was to use a empty plastic bottle with a sprayer....put about an 1-1/2" of both products...LOL I am no Leonardo Da Vinci ...LOL
