I use it 1:1 for everything.
-I brush it on tires with a flag tipped brush.
-Spray wheel wells and let it self level, same with engine bays.
-Apply it with a microfiber applicator to trim & plastics.
-Works great for door panels & dashboards too if you like a bit of gloss.
-Kick panels
-Weatherstripping
I’ve never tried it neat.

I have some mixed at 3:1 for use on exterior trim, engines and wheel arches. At that dilution, I wasn't happy with it on tires. I tried it neat, thinking it would be overboard, but actually looked pretty good. It's an inexpensive product so I don't mind using it up.

Interesting comments.. I think I tried it once @4:1 for something like engine bay or wheel wells and hated it.
I’ve never really had an issue with its cost, but even I’d have to draw the line when it comes to using it straight vs. the cost.
I’ve got the feeling that diluting it 1:1 would yield similar results to using it straight or they’d recommend using it straight, which afaik they don’t, and if it’s 1 brand that gets their directions right it’s Meguiars.
Kinda like Megs Acid Free wheel & tire cleaner… Using it @2:1 works just as well [IMO better] than 1.1.

That Tundra looks great. Is that new paint? Looks like a newer color like destroyer gray on the mopars. That would cause a major bidding war here in Michigan if it were for sale.

photographing gray is the hardest thing you can do, there is no margin for hue shift an color cross overs
Look at the front Vs. back of truck in same photo and you will see what I mean
Front is warm(sun)...back is cold(shade)

The ready to use bottles of hyper dressing are a 1:1 dilution. I did 3:1 for my engine bay and liked that but everyone has their own preference for level of shine.
