    That's the dilution I've settled on. I have some in a foamer and some in one of those cheapy HDX sprayers from Home Depot. I do keep a spray bottle loaded with it at full strength if I'm getting tires ready for a coating

    Yeah nothing I’ve tried has come close to BH products so far. Would be great if OPC could compete.

    If you want something that would compete with OPC. Try Bilt Hamber Surfex HD in 1:10 dilution on tires or engine bay. On paint you only need 1:20 during the winter months and it cleans better than both Auto-Foam and Touch-less. During the summer months when I dilute down Auto-Foam to 2% I have a pumpsprayer with 1:30 of Surfex HD. And apply over bugs and tires and plastic. When dwelled 3-5min I foam on Auto-Foam in 2% and all bugs and rubber and plastic gets cleaned without any agitations. That the contact wash get the last off. During winter months have a pumpsprayer with BH Surfex HD 1:20. Apply with a pumpsprayer and you don't need to foam it but you can if you will over the whole car. Drive in to a touchless wash and you will get a great result from this. If you foam Surfex HD you can probebly go up to 1:40 in a foaming pumpsprayer. As you get it to stick and dwell that minutes extra. But remember that stronger than 1:20 will effect the durability on wax and sealants and not full blown ceramic coatings.

    OPC is something I like to test out as I've been impressed by what I've seen it do. But now when many is well knowned with BH Auto-Foam and Touch-less. You have the real stuff to test out in Surfex HD LOL. In the kitchen I use Surfex HD in 1:60 to wipe down the interior and it's enough to degrease most of the dirt that you see in a kitchen and where you eat. You can use it on the interior in the cars. But be carefull and follow up with a wet/damp microfiber towel with destilled water to pick up and dilute the little it's leaves behind. Oh it's anti corrosion inhibitors in it as well. Perfect to use as the last step on the tires and spray the brake discs and metall in there. And if keeping up with it a very little surface rust if any at all. Especially to avoid that first brake dust after the first brake after a wash. It says that you can use Surfex HD undiluted. But as Jon at Forensic Detailing Chanel it's not needed on a vehical to be doing so. It's crazy how well it cleans. There for it would be interesting to see how it compares to OPC in different dilutions. I think that you would get the same results but with the BH Surfex HD more diluted. But by how much would be cool to test out.
