Dilute ratios

[terriusvette]

I'm new to detailing. Can someone explain what it means to dilute your material 1:3 or 1:32?

Sure, add the two dilution numbers together (1:3=1+3=4), then divide your bottle's ounces by that number, say 24 oz bottle (24/4=6). Therefore, a 24 oz bottle would need 6 oz of product, leaving 18 ounces of water. This would be 6:18, which is also 1:3.

That makes all the sense in the world when you break it down like that

^^^ That is perfectly expalined. Said that way I can grab any bottle 6 months from now and actually remember that.
VERY nice.

That's why I always come to this site. I learn something new every day. Seriously, thanks for the info.

I didn't know there was an easy formula for dilution ratio, thanks. I believe there is a printable version somewhere on this site.

Thanks a lot! Really appreciate the breakdown.

OUTSTANDING!

Most of the time I can do them in my head, but then there is 'that' time when I go brain dead.

Thanx...
