    Yup, this is pretty much the way I think about it.

    1:40, or 40:1, you can be pretty sure they are not telling you "One part water to 40 parts of product" or vice-versa.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Is there a difference in how the two are mixed or just the way users quote the ratio?
    dman,

    I just sent you a PM with a dilution chart, hope it helps you out.

    Also keep in mind that the total volume will change. 10:1 yields 11 ounces of product.

    Re: Explain something to and old dummy!!

    Unfortunately in the detailing world there is inconsistency in terminology. Having worked in a chemistry/biochemistry lab where consistency in dilution schemes can actually mean life or death if SOP’s are not templated and followed correctly. Just remember in detailing the smaller number is typically the chemical you purchased at AGO. In fact if you read many of the dilution instructions it says to add 1-2 ounces of such n such to 3 gallons of water for your witches brew. And if you are off a bit in the dilution your car won’t end up in another world.
