Thank you so much Crack and Touchless impressed and it goes without saying that when it comes to removing winter muck, my Worx hydroshot doesn't have the power but the power of Touchless....amazing

Yeah. They're not the most exciting videos. One thought would be to use Griot's directions for surface prep as a basis. They recommend 0.5 oz for the pump up foamer and 2.0 oz for the foaming sprayer. If those end up being the same concentration, that would be ~2.5 oz of Touchless in the foaming sprayer (pretty close to what you thought about using).

Most people figure it out for 4% PIR, don't they? If so, we're maybe not too far off. Just different concentrations.

Sorry, is that a question? I used regular Speed Shine since I feel like a product with less "stuff" in it would perform better in near freezing temps -- however, I haven't scientifically tested that theory yet haha.

Think i’m going back to regular QD’s w/o protection. I add enough LSP’s where I don’t need the extra.

I'm with you. I'd rather lay down a good base of protection, and then just use QDs as drying aids or for quick wipe downs. I like to have that control and knowledge of exactly what is on the paint.
Is there any real evidence for the "clogging the paint" theory where too many protectants or too many layers of different chemicals can yield worse results (as far as gloss, slickness, beading, etc.)?

Yeah i love em and dilution in tje IK 12 is great. Can get 2 uses from one fill up. Just need a tire inflator to get it to pump faster

I think the problem will be not proper PH at Surface Prep dilution. I don’t think BH is as concentrated.

I know it's not the same thing but Auto-Foam is a 13 pH and Touchless is a 12 pH.

Nice job on the interior. I’m sure they felt great driving it down the road after a refresh.
