D114 dilution?
I think the bottle says 1 to 128 (1 oz per gallon)
Is there any problem using this ratio for rinseless wash when the car is pretty clean? (like easier to streak or harder to buff off)
I have seen the 1:256 posted a lot for lightly soiled cars, is there any problems doing 1:128 anyway besides using more product. I wanted to be on safe side of having a more lubricated wash solution especially for the lower sides of the car.
Also, I wasn't able to purchase too many pieces of high end MF towels, they cost too much and I wanted to try them out, so I got 5. Does it make sense to use the nicer 5 for horizontal panels and then try to get away using cheaper grade MF on the doors?
Thanks

I like to use Meguiars D114 at
-1:100 for waterless
-1:200 for rinseless
With right technic and defect free microfiber, it should be fine.

Re: D114 dilution?
1:128 is fine as long as product usage isn't an issue for you. 1:256 works fine unless car is very dirty. What I do...I pre-spray the panel with 1:128 and follow up with the normal rinseless procedure at 1:256.
In my day we didn't have the Internet, iPods,iPads, or smart phones....but we had some really bad-azz cars.

What do you mean "product usage," silverfox? Running out of it quicker?
How many do rinseless washes at 1:128 rather than 1:256?I'm one to ere on the side of making sure the surface is well-lubricated, but I don't want that to translate into streaking and excess buffing.

I do rinseless w/D114 @ 1:128👋🏼
I don't have a problem with it streaking or being difficult to dry.

5 towels folded in 4s is 20 clean sides of towel...if ur car isn't very dirty anyway that should be MORE than enough towels. That 1 wipe per side of towel is major overkill IMO. 1/256 is the ratio I use too and I also pre-soak with 1/128

You could only prove that to me by going outside and taking a close-up picture, in the Sun of the car you use this method on.
You are going to wash a load of towels anyway...why use the "Skimp & Swirl Method"?

That's my rationale. The towels have one purpose: my car. Going in the washer one way or another sooner or later!

Might be. But, it's no skin off my back and I spend no time cleaning the towel or reintroducing it back into the solution.

No...none whatsoever.

After folding "the nicer 5"...

Try using the resulting 40 sides first, before
trying to get away with cheapening out.
