Carpro Elixir

Sounds like you are either using too much or to plush of a towel. Twist loop towels are best for removal.

I only use plush towels to wipe off ONR these days.

Edgeless 365 from TRC are what I use with Elixir.

I'm often guilty of not using enough product, but it's possible.

But......

Maybe you could do a video for it??

That would be sweet!

Will add it to the que. Getting my bearings straight after a nice vacation.

I held off on Elixir, for now. Ech2o at 1:20 works so well I don't really need it.

Both seem to work really well, but Elixir is a little more durable.

Why mix your own? Because I can decide the volume that I want to mix, and most of us owned ech20 already, so It was just a matter of buying a small amount of reload and making distilled water.

By the way if you use a lot of distilled water, which I do , for Detailing, cooking and my CPAP machine, this is a great distiller… Expensive but very high-quality, I make 2 gallons a week…

That’s a good point. Does anyone think manufacturers use distilled water to mix their chemicals? I think not.

I’ve always wondered what kind of water some popular brand names use to mix the pre diluted antifreeze they sell. Distilled is recommended, but do they even use it? Or just use cheap tap water?

Reload and ECH20.

I don't see why people insist on making their own EliXir? Just buy it ready mixed?

Way less expensive.

I've used both Elixr and ECH2O and really didn't find any reason to buy Elixr.

I didn't find Elixr to be all that friendly to apply due to potential streaking if you didn't get the amount of product just right, and it's really difficult to use when temps drop below 50 degrees. ECH2O however is cheaper, far more versatile, and much easier to use. As for looks I don't remember much of a difference between the two, but ECH2O always looks good.

I haven't done any tests, but the only advantage I could see to Elixr over ECH2O would be durability. I found some Elixr applied to bare paint lasted far longer than I imagined for something listed as a "detail spray".

I'm sticking with Ech2o for now. It's working great as a QD/drying aid and interior detailer. I've become a big fan of the rinseless/waterless wash products for their versatility. No need for an interior detailer. I used Ech2o yesterday after a wash, on the interior and engine bay. Leaves interior plastics looking great. 1:20 seems to be the sweet spot of Ech2o. 1:15 work well too.

I also have a bottle of Elixir and one of Ech2o at 1:20 and 90%, maybe 95% of the time I'll use Ech2o. It's just so easy to use and get good results. Elixir can be streaky. Homemade version is easier to use, either because it's less concentrated, or because at home we don't add the 3rd ingredient, Hydro2.
