Optimum Car Wash - Correct Ratio???
I just noticed my 32oz bottle says 1oz/gal, but my gallon bottle says 1/2oz/gal. Both were purchased within the last 2-3 months. Anyone know which is correct?

.5 per quart is adequate and safe. More is not always better, but if you want to use 1oz per quart, it certainly won't harm anything and we won't mind you buying more product at all

It won't detract from the look at all. No Rinse and Car Wash both have a very fresh look on any finish...including Opti Coat. Just to clarify though, Car Wash needs to be rinsed.

Chris, I also just picked up a gallon this after going through my 32oz bottle. How many oz should I add to my foam cannon? Ive been using 2oz mixed with .5oz of ONR and filled the rest of the cannon with distilled water. Am I using too much car wash solution?

Does too much ONR remove more wax/sealant as oppose to the correct dilution?
I have recently been using 1oz of ONR to 1 gallon of water recently and I really cant substantiate this but I get a feeling that my wax is not lasting as long as it used to when I used .5oz of ONR to 1 gallon of water.

To my knowledge ONR doesnt remove any wax or sealant. You can use it at a higher ratio no problem. Only some car wash soaps you have to check.
