    Question on Uber RW/WW dilution ratios

    So looking at Wolfgang's website I see there are multiple ways to dilute it for whatever reason needed, cool.

    This is what I'm confused on.

    When I do a RW, I use 3 gallons which is at 1oz uber to 3gal of water.

    But the detail spray says to use 3oz to 1 gal of water.

    That's a lot more concentration of Uber in that than the RW.

    Should I be upping the amount when I do RWs? Hopefully I didn't scratch the paint to hell by using 1oz to 3 gal of water ...

    Thoughts?

    I think you are fine with the 1 oz. to 3 gallons of water. The detail and clay lube will intentional be a heavier concentration.

    I follow their recommendations and haven't noticed any issues.

    Really no reason to up the recommend
    amounts for any of Wolfgang Über Rinseless
    Wash’s intended purposes, IMO.

    ***********************************

    There’s often some dilution ratio confusion
    with these type of products that, IMO, is
    caused by not defining the difference(s), if
    there are any, between Waterless-Wash
    solutions, and Detail Spray solutions.

    Regardless:
    I’ll use a Detail Spray solution in a similar
    manner as I would a Waterless Wash solution
    (and vice-versa): “really wet”.

    **********************************

    •According to Wolfgang:

    1.) When you add 3 ounces of Über Rinseless
    Wash to a gallon (128 oz.) of water...you’ll wind
    up with a net 131 oz. of a Detail Spray solution.

    2a.) It takes 1/3 oz. of Über Rinseless Wash mixed
    with 15 2/3 oz of Water...in order to get 16 oz. of
    a Waterless Wash solution.

    2b.) With that being the case, it would take 3oz
    of Über Rinseless Wash mixed with 141 oz. of
    Water—for a net 144 oz of WW solution:

    •That’s pretty daggone close to the dilution ratio
    of the above mentioned Detail Spray solution;
    -and, also meets my premise regarding the
    likelihood of using WW solutions and Detail Spray
    solutions interchangeably...wouldn’t you say?

    Re: Question on Uber RW/WW dilution ratios

    So what should I use dilution wise for pre-soaking the panels? I was using the 1/3oz to 16oz dilution...

    It works fine at that dilution ratio. It's normal for a quick detailer to have more product in it than a rinseless wash.

    I used 1oz in a 1.5L sprayer for the pre-soak solution.

    What's the reasoning? I would think the wash would be more concentrated to eliminate scratches etc.

    Crazy to think that little is good enough when the detail spray is waayyyy more concentrated

    I think because they know for a quick detailer people will spray much less solution and wipe it, potentially with a dry towel. In a rinseless situation you have more solution on a very wet towel so that's enough lubrication with the recommended dilution ratio.

    I use it and never noticed that, reading the label I find it odd the QD ratio's much stronger than the Waterless dilution.

    Follow the directions and you will be fine. As I mentioned to you in my PM response, dunk your spray bottle into the rinseless wash solution you make to use as your pre spray. No need to over think it.
