    Re: Carpro EcH2O and Reload ratio...what do you use

    After going through an entire 32oz bottle of Ech2o/Reload mix, I retract any negative comments I initially stated about it... It just took a bit of getting used to the feel of applying it, I had to remind myself to sort of treat it more like Reload than what I was expecting [I guess I got used to Wolfgang Uber]

    But more importantly, the final gloss left behind from using Ech2o mixed with Reload is pretty phenomenal... But I want to try see what Ech2o can do on it's own, so I mixed up my 2nd bottle with only Ech2o @10:1 I'm about to try it out on my car.

    keep us in the loop, I have ech20 mixed with cure ATM, but I was suing straight ech20 prior to, it still had amazing gloss and shine, not to sure on durability as it was never to long between washes before I applied something else to my car to test that out..lol

    It seems a bit fussy on black paint. Even the newer version.
    Always keep the shine in your life.

    I tried Ech2o in a few ratios, and found it streaky at a greater concentration than a 1:20 ratio. All sorts of reasons why that may not be the case for others, but at 1:20 on it's own on a coated car I really like it.

    This stuff looks good after you apply it but I swear it makes the car more dirty over the week. The water spotting even with these light roast products is terrible and every little water spot traps it on little pocket of dirt/grime. If you don't get to it in a week every week it's just going to be a mess.

    What is your LSP that you apply Ech2o mix on? It's quite a low grade protection that would get you between washes hardly. Maybe a week or two max. So think it's more about the protection you apply it to that is water spotting sensitive. Just a thought thou.

    2 oz ECH2O, 3 oz Reload substitute, 27 oz distilled water for my drying aid and QD. Use 2 towels, 1 one to spread and 1 for final wipe. You don’t need to use much. Over applying will cause streaks (same for any product).

    Good to hear my friend. I've been mixing up and providing my customers the "blue juice" since it came out and I first played around with it to find my perfect combination.

    I still use the following and love it.

    32oz Empty bottle
    1:20 Ratio ECH20 and Distilled Water
    3oz CarPro Reload

    I find even on black ZERO issues with streaking or haze. Very basic Spritz onto a damp MF Cloth and wipe away. By damp, I mean I never dry or wipe the vehicle with a dry towel when washing and finishing up my drying. I always keep a gallon of Distilled water and Rinseless mixed up and I soak the rag and wring it out until it's just dampened. Use the blue juice and you're good to go from there.
