    Ultima Waterless Wash +

    I've had a mixed concentrate sitting in a bottle for about a month and it color has changed from a translucent green to a translucent orange, is this normal?

    How does it taste?





    (Sorry, filling in for Flash)

    It's probably just a UV-induced color fading like happens with ONR.

    Nope. Did you use tap water?

    Was it the chlorine in the tap water that causes that ONR fading?

    Re: Ultima Waterless Wash +

    I would have to say that is not normal, Ive had a bottle of it mixed up for probly 3-4 months and it is still the same green color. But its the only bottle i have mixed of it so far, Was it subjected to extreme heat or freezing temps, mine has been in the house at 70 degrees the whole time. What kinda bottle did you use and i dunno if it matters but was it distilled water

    I use Reverse osmosis water when I make it up.

    Actually more yellow I guess. Still smells the same and seems to work the same. The actual bottle of the stuff is still the same old green.

    I'm close to finishing my first bottle of UWW+ concentrate, and none of the mix I've made (I tend to mix in larger batches, so some of it sits for a couple of weeks) has changed color. I use distilled water to dilute the concentrate - are you using tap water?

    Sounds like maybe you have Iron in your tap water. Do a test, make a mix with your tap water and do a comparrison with distilled or RO water. If it snells OK and works well I would continue to use it.

    I use distilled water for all my chemicals. None of them have ever changed colors on me. Including UWW+.
