Distilled water for OPC?
I use distilled water for my WW, detail sprays and everything else that touches the paint. My question is, when diluting OPC for tire cleaning, should I still use distilled water? I've been using regular tap water when diluting OPC and haven't noticed an issue. What do the rest of you use for OPC or APC dillutions?
Thanks in advance.

I use distilled for everything, CG All Clean+ is an APC I use with distilled, works excellent!
Back to the full-time grind.

Thanks for your feedback. Do you think it makes a difference using distilled water over tap water when cleaning tires?

I always use distilled, no matter what. Just so I know it allows whatever chemical I am using the ability to do what's it supposed to at it's best.

Thanks you guys for the info. I'll just keep doing what I normally do with all my other diluted products and use distilled water for OPC.

I feel like just how its best practice to clay before polishing. Its best practice to use distilled water when mixing chemicals.
So... How are you diluting it?

I mainly use it 1:3 for tires and now that I'm gonna use distilled water, 1:3 for stripping LSPs. Are you still diluting yours 1:4 for tires? I thought I had heard that in one of your vids. Could be wrong though.

I'm actually using megs apc for tires. Not entirely happy with my dilutions performance so I decided to do 1:1 with it. If it still doesn't work well, I may have to get megs super degreaser or another product.

Does Meg's APC clean tires better for you than OPC? I have a half a gallon left of Tuf Shine tire cleaner left and only use it as a tire LSP to make sure tires are perfectly clean. Lol
