Shampoo Dilution Ratios Table

[embolism]

The way I use ONR I'm out of 2 gallons half way through the wash.

is that b/c you have a grit guard in the wash bucket?

I used to have that problem but now when I do ONR, I'll put both gg's in my rinse bucket...

Haven't studied the table but I agree that you need to have a standard measure

from what Chris said, I'm guessing that the standard measure used was 4 gallons...

[alko]

yes I put in a grit guard, but I also use 4 gallons of water. I'll dip the wash mitt in and without wringing the mitt of excess water, I'll begin washing the panel. But because of this, there's NO way 2 gallons would last me.

Damn, chemical guys citrus wash and gloss is very cheap.....anyone happy with their product? Do they have washless system as well?....

I would recommend changing the $/wash to $/gallon as we all use different quantities to wash.

For example, you can wash most any car with only 2 gallon of No Rinse, which only uses 1oz of product, which only costs $.31 where you have $.61.

Nice job on the list, it should be very helpful!

Thank you for your comment Chris.
I was using the ratio 1oz to 2gal (1:256) in my Excel but as i make it universal for all soaps/no rinse to make up 3.88 gal at the recommended dilution ratio for comparison, i tk i shd stay in that way for the time being.
in fact i hv another column in my xls about "Remarks" that have the manufacturer or online reference source.
however i found it to be too long to be posted up in image format haha.

When i have time i will see how it turn out if i use 4 gal as calculation base.

While PBMG is selling this, I wouldnt say much about it here:
The Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss (CG CW&G) is a very nice shampoo but there is 1 thing I dislike about it.

I didn't see Dawn on your list

I have never used Dawn to wash my car before.

If I am using dish wash soap I add soap until I find the water to be slick enough, but never had an accurate dilution on that doh~

Lol, i meant WATERLESS WASH, and not washless*, hahahaha, anyway, thanks for the reply PPLD

Guys and girls,

I just realized a mistake in my dilution ratio for some CG shampoos lol.

For CW&G:
1:3785.4 or 1:4000
CG web site said add 5ml to make up to 5 gal,
But the cap is 10ml in fact if you measure it.

Extreme W&W:
10ml to 1 gal
= 1:378.54
CG Extreme Body Wash N Wax Dilution Ratio - Detailing World

Glossworkz:
When they had product announcement they said it is 1:600.
Now they state 1:640 on their web site eh?

I think Chris was suggesting a standard base of product cost/single gallon of water.

This way, doesn't matter how many gallons you use to wash, cost is just the standard cost per gallon dilution multiplied by the gallons of water used
