    Re: Dilute or not to dilute? That is the question.

    I'm with the others: I only dilute the products if the manufacturer provides the ratios. I may not follow them exactly, but I will dilute.

    I do dilute a few products, but that's because they come as a concentrate. Poortboys Bug Squash and APC and CarPro ECH2O are a couple examples.

    I'll also dilute CarPro PERL 50/50. I've found whether I'm using it on tires or engine bay plastics, it seems to appy and is actually more durable at that ration rather than full strength.

    Re: Dilute or not to dilute? That is the question.

    I dilute Adams Wheel and Tire Cleaner 2:1. I drive a hybrid, rims are fully ceramic coated, and don't usually get too dirty. Adams diluted 2:1 seems to be just as effective for me as using it undiluted.

    To be honest, I could probably get away with using any basic PH neutral car soap to clean my rims but I really like Adams wheel and tire cleaner.

    Dilute or not to dilute? That is the question.

    I dilute concentrates pretty much it.

    Don’t like P&S BB diluted.

    I dilute P&S Xpress 40/60 (60 % water)
