Your hydro2 dilution ratio

[DownSouthDetail]

For all of you that use hydro2, what is your dilution ratio that you use. 3:1 is what the bottle says but I've seen others say 4:1 is more user friendly, does this take away from its protection? I've also seen where someone said to use it at 6:1 for black cars. Just wondering what you guys prefer to use it at. Thanks

what are your source?

I've heard diluting more does effect longevity, that said I have also heard many of problems with streaking. My two applications so far I have kept at 3.5:1 with no issues.

I do 4:1 with my black car, but apply it once a month as it's so easy to apply. Fine mister, spray on and almost immediately blast off with strong stream of water. No issues with application here.

I do slightly more water than an exact 3:1 ratio. Works perfectly. Make sure you're in the shade.

Man you're wasting money. Do you wash regularly? If so, not needed that often.

I am 3:1. I apply in the shade and one section at at time. The paint should be cool to the touch as well. I get 3-4 months for protection with proper washing and drying.

I do, but drive around 2500-3000 miles a month here in rainy Seattle. Not finding the sheeting as great into month 2. Maybe I'm spraying it too thin.

How many sprays per panel? You're not topping it with anything right?

[Tacket]

Couple sprays per panel. I do use spray wax for drying (Meg's Ultimate which I admit may be the culprit and will be switching over to Prima Hydro when my order arrives). This is all on top of OC Pro.
