    Dilution for pre soak

    Wolfgang Uber RW.

    What are you guys diluting it down to for a pre soak before RW?

    Thanks

    Uber's recommended RW dilution ratio
    is 1oz.-product:3gals.-water (1:384).

    If I were to ever use Uber as a pre-soak,
    I'd dilute it to where it's at a 1:128 ratio.

    Re: Dilution for pre soak

    I use the standard 1oz to 3 gals. I don't see a reason to mix it up greater than that for a pre-soak. I say that as it's been working for me even on very dirty cars.

    I don't see why I should use more product for my presoak.

    Presoak is optional either way.

    So based on that logic, if I were using 1oz per 3 gallons for my solution, I would use the same for a presoak.

    Re: Dilution for pre soak

    Regardless of RW brand, I always use the standard dilution as a pre-soak.

    Re: Dilution for pre soak

    I've always used a waterless wash dilution ratio for my pre-soak. Perhaps this uses more product than is really necessary, but it has always worked well for me. This is what is recommended on AG's product page for Uber...

    "Add 1/3 ounce to an empty 16 ounce bottle and fill it up with water to create a waterless wash. This application works especially well to pre-treat each panel before washing it using the rinseless wash method."

    Re: Dilution for pre soak

    I also use the same dilution ratio. I also don't make a separate batch just for pre-soak. I fill my pre-soak container from the bucket I just mixed.

    Re: Dilution for pre soak

    I've been using 42:1 (WW) but it's probably overkill. I'm going to try 128:1 so that it matches the clay dilution.
