Yes but how do you dilute something from a 100 percent to say 10 percent ?

[@BrooklynBoundNYC]

It's probably the best video I stumbled upon in 2024 with an explanation. I learned something today.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I’m glad you found the video helpful. I put a lot of effort into making sure everything is explained clearly!

[@archiepezek]

Although I'm familiar with ratios and how to mix products, you said something in the video that I never thought about--putting the water in the bottle first and then adding the product at the end so as not to make any suds. I've always placed the product in the bottle first and then added the water, always causing a lot of suds which flow out of the bottle. Excellent tip Pan!

Thanks for this video Pan. I had always wondered when I saw a dilution ratio, which number was the product and which was water. I asked Meguiars regarding the Tire and wheel cleaner because the instruction said to dilute 2:1. I did not know if that meant 2 parts product, one part water or the other way around. They never responded so I have diluted 1:1 instead. Now I can dilute the product properly in the future.

[@davidnoonan6014]

One tip I use because I do not have the screw on funnel shown in this video, is to put a 10" /11" clear tube (from any hardware) onto to the funnel so the product being diluted does not "suds" up. The bottle actually fills from the bottom. Works great.

Excellent Pan. Im a mechanical enginer PhD from Colombia in south america. When do you talk on PIR dilution? Thank very much.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Panel impact ratio (PIR) is a completely different topic. It is dependent on your pressure washer and foam cannon setup's ability to discharge a certain volume of water in order to calculate how much snow foam actually makes it to the surface of the vehicle (concentration). I haven't made a video on that topic yet.

[@donaldpritchett4055]

@@PanTheOrganizer Here's my vote for a video on PIR. This was going to be my question as well. I realize that if I mix say 50ml of foam in 1l of water per instructions, but then use a 1.2gpm pressure washer my ratio of foam to water is way off.

[@pranavkanchi4275]

Hi Pan, at 11:18 wouldn’t you have to fill up the concentrate first on that bottle to get the correct dilution ratio? Not water? A little confused by that. I think on the carpro dilute bottle you would fill water first because the markings are reversed

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes you are correct for that specific Chemical Guys bottle.

[@vinciesthetiqueauto]

hello Pan, un sujet qui porte toujours une discussion abondante. En effet, les règles pour 1: 3 diffèrent entre les detailers et les chimistes, pour les detailers on prend 1 volume de produit et 3 volumes d'eau, alors que le chimiste établit la règle de 1 volume de produit pour 3 volumes de solutions. la concentration dans le premier cas est de 25% et de 33% dans le deuxième cas. Peu importe, la méthode, le produit sera efficace, car certains feront 2 sprays et les autres 3 ou 4...Merci d'avoir expliqué 👍🙋🏻‍♂️

Hi Pan. Very helpful vid. Thanks! Just wanted to share my experience with Carpro spray bottles. For some reason the heads quite rapidly fail and unable to pump out product. The nozzles do not appear to be the problem because I have confirmed they are not clogged. It seems the pump assembly is the culprit. This is surprising given the quality of Carpro products themselves. I have had this occur with both bottles pre-filled with product as well as with replacement spray heads. Just a heads-up to Carpro.

Pouring water does help prevent overflow due to foaming of a product. I learned this as a new bar tender at college. I was asked for a Guinness Shandy. It was done as a hazing, no one wants a Guinness shandy, but watching a new barman struggle to pour the drink is worth ten times what it costs to buy. Knowing that I was facing a tough challenge I guessed that pouring the fizzy lemonade first would minimize the vesuvius effect. So I did that and then very very carefully poured the guinness from a bottle into the glass held at 45 degrees making sure the Guinness flowed onto the glass and not directly into the lemonade. It went flawlessly. Had I put the guinness in first it would have flowed over multiple times like a failed chemistry experiment. I handed the disappointed customer his Guinness shandy and felt very smug with myself having escaped the hazing experience. It was a lucky guess on my part. So yes Pan, adding water first minimizes foaming of the product.

[@tinorasetina2684]

Thank you for the great work Pan. I just want to ask you if you are going to somehow reach to Labocosmetica products and review them again. I saw your video about that brand but it is now 4 years that you relaised that video.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Unfortunately it’s not available in Canada so very hard to get. And overall not a popular brand in USA/Canada so I don’t have many viewer requests for a new review.

[@jotighe2]

thank you Pan. interesting tutorial. I love that you are so helpful to explain anything. I think most of us feel the math part (20:1 means one part to 20 parts) is the easy part of dilution. however, would you explain how different solvents are used with solutes (e.g., petrolium-based solutes like tar removers, alcohol-based solutes diluted with alcohol solvents, and of course the process of silicon-based solutes). You explained why pros would dilute to save money, however, some solvents are used to control dwell time, reactants, and of course level of astringence. would you explain that, please? also, can you review how solvents affect pH levels, and how to manipulate those levels to limit corrosion, and to change the impact of solutes to alter their purpose (e.g., altering soap pH to remove lipid residues, or wax). also, please explain how to track pH when you have already diluted a solute (i.e., a pH that you have in volume diluted by half, and then show the calculation to ascertain the new pH level), like how 8oz of pH 12 + 8oz water = 16oz at what pH? this is particularly helpful when working with multipurpose products, or APCs. with multiple agents in a product, and by monitoring its dilution level, and solvent type, you can emphasize use on one surface and minimize its affects on others. this is particularly helpful with carpet and fabric materials, and protein vs. tannin stains, while not affecting dye color. these are the things most home enthusiasts, and some pros, struggle with or just get wrong. also, can you review how the foam gun changes dilution ratios, from lock to lock and depending on aperature (I don't think most of us know those numbers). we could really use a helpful tutorial like that, and please assume we can already do the basic math. thank you Pan, you are so awesome. love your videos.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Unfortunately, it would be a boring topic for most of my viewers, and a bit too much on the chemistry side. I will stick to car detailing as much as possible here. Unless I get many requests like this one for that specific topic. To make it simple, pressure washers all have different pressure ratings and water flow rates, and this has an effect on the amount of foam produced. PIR allows the correct amount of product to be used for your specific setup. Companies like Bilt Hamber, explain the PIR calculations on the label of their snow foams like Touch-Less and Auto-Foam.

​@@PanTheOrganizer I have to make epoxy adhesive putty using West System Epoxy Resin and Hardener and I needed to figure out how to make a 5:1 ratio for the resin-to-hardener mix. I'll probably have to use 2 cups (16 oz) total volume. So with a 5:1 ratio, 5+1=6, so I should be using 13.3oz resin and 2.67oz hardener. But I'll have to add Cab O Sil a little bit at a time until I get the right thickness that I need. I'm making an induction heater for my Dynavap M vaporizer using a 16 oz Starbucks tumbler and I drilled some holes. I have one hole for a mini DC voltmeter that's on the side of the cap, and I need something to secure the voltmeter into place permanently, protect it, and make it look more professional.

[@benjaminskipper7742]

One thing that confuses me is when some companies offer multiple possible dilution ratios, and I'm not sure what specific advantage I'd get choosing one over the other in different situations. For instance, The Last Coat makes an interior cleaner that you can dilute down to 15:1. They say you can vary the dilution to vary the strength for different applications, but how can I make an intelligent decision? I can only think to use it either at full strength or 15:1. (I think you've talked about some degreasers that offer multiple possible dilution ratios.)

[@PanTheOrganizer]

When a company offers multiple dilution ratios, it's because you can do testing to see which dilution works best for you. Say for example you get an APC. If it can be diluted 5:1 all the way to 20:1, it's because there are different use case scenarios. You would probably use the 5:1 dilution to clean engine bays or tires, and then 15:1 on interior plastics, and perhaps 20:1 for carpets and upholstery. You have to try different dilutions on surfaces and see which ones work best.

I feel like this video was made for me haha . Thanks Pan. And now I finally understand how the dilution ratios on the bottles work, water first ! That was always confusing me ...

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You are so welcome!

[@kayceegeorge8486]

Great great video as always very informative questions…where I live in the Caribbean it’s very hard to get asses to a lot stuff nd can also be very expensive…can I use rain water if distilled water isn’t Accessible?

[@graemesmith8509]

Pan If i start with a pir of 14% and then dilute to 6:1 what is the new pir, and how do i calculate this ?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

A PIR is a panel impact ratio, a completely different story as that needs to be calculated according the the pressure washer and foam cannon setup you are using. I'm assuming you are talking about a PIR with a snow foam like Bilt Hamber correct? Here's a tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIvClayIpMuWfsk Bilt Hamber also explains this on the label of their snow foams.

Hello Pan Mille merci pour cette vidéo 😉😉😉 c est vrai qu avec la dilution parfois c est fastidieux. Tu explique vraiment bien mais venant de ta part ça ne m etonnes pas, en plus tu connais bien ce domaine Totale confiance 👍👍👍 N oubliez pas le pouce bleu Toujours au top .

Merci Sébastien!

[@johnveness3852]

Hi Pan, I just watched (and enjoyed) your dilution ratio video and was wondering if the same method applies to a pump sprayer. For instance, I have just purchased a 3L Marolex pump foam sprayer (as recommended by you) and wish to add P&S Brake Buster at a 1:3 dilution ratio. How do I do this and still allow space for the air pressure? Cheers John

Hi Pan. Great video on dilution ratios. Have a separate question. I have a car that I just applied a Graphite coating to. The car has to go back to thr client but has to leave it outside. Is it safe to place unde a waterproof cover with a fleece lining in it to protect it from weather? Thanks

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hi Anthony! You mean a Graphene coating? Make sure you respect the curing time for that specific coating (usually 24 hours without exposing the vehicle to water or rain). Yes it's ok to put the vehicle under a waterproof cover to protect it during the curing, if you have no other solution.

[@anthonycurti7413]

@@PanTheOrganizer Hi Pan, thanks for that. I was a bit worried. I'm actually applying the Graphine coating today and will let it cure until tomorrow.

[@amill1563]

Off topic but just wondering if you've seen the reviews of the Turbo S Lightweight.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Absolutely. First factory 911 to be sub-10 sec in the quarter mile! Mine clocked 10.1s @ 138mph But the lightweight includes more sound deadening removal which is a no-go for me as it’s my daily driver hehe.

[@amill1563]

@@PanTheOrganizer and I'm guessing that Porsche will charge folks more for it.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Oh absolutely. It's a package worth an extra $10,340 USD if memory serves me well. Nothing comes cheap at Porsche haha.

[@gevorkleklyan9963]

Got a question Pan does certain products have a certain required dilution for instance can brake buster be diluted the same as P n S interior Detailer

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Not all products can be diluted. If they can, it should be written on the product label.

[@johnsavignano2339]

Hi Pan ,how long does a diluted product last should you dilute what's going to be used at that moment, doesn't it lose strength if you have left over?thank you.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

If you use distilled water for your dilutions (not tap water), a product should be good for up to a year if kept in stable conditions and not frozen.

[@DSWoof]

Hey Pan since carpro Inside is impossible to get anywhere, and i heard you say that its good diluted to use on coated leather seats, i wonder what you would suggest i use instead on coated leather seats as maintenance

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Any leather cleaner diluted 1:3 will usually do.

[@DDUTCH-g6r]

Dear @PanTheOrganizer, is the dilution 3:1 the same as 1:3? Can you explain? Thank you very much.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes it's the same. The smallest number is always the product, and the biggest number is always water.

[@billyflowers3944]

Pan will you please do a review on the Cerakote headlight restoration kit and the Cerakote ceramic spray?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

If I get enough viewer requests for it, I'll look into it for sure.

[@timbrown9731]

Pan, I have a gallon of N914 I also ordered a pro blend top I’m trying to dilute into 1 gallon making waterless wash which is 1:128 i’m having difficulty trying to set up my pro blend in ounces I currently have the disc set to 1 1/4 just below 1 1/2, however at the winery I have access to medical grade DI water I wonder if I could back off my dilution or if I should keep it the same and or am I using too much product?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Keep the same dilution regardless of water quality. 0.5 oz per gallon of water.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I already have two complete tutorials on the topic,

[@andersonjimmy1691]

Future video idea - 1 product of each type - can't use two products from the same manufacturer. (Ie detail brush, microfiber towel, foam Cannon, interior cleaner, tire dressing). Just a thought

[@Mcarsla]

Hey quick question! With the 32oz bottle, the dilution ratios are for example 10-1, does that mean 10 parts water and 1 part product? And if so wouldn’t 10-1 be at the top of the bottle and not the very bottom? Thanks for the great video!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The bigger number is always water. 10:1 or 1:10 is the same thing. One part of product for ten equal parts if water. In a 32 oz bottle that means 2.9 oz of product with 29.1 oz of water. You can round that off to 3 oz of product and 29 oz of water.

[@Mcarsla]

Salut pan ! J ai une petite question . Je viens d acheter une nouvelle voiture à ma femme . Je vais lui faire la préparation totale. Et je vais lui mettre le turtle wax ice seal and shine comme base . Es ce que par dessus je peux lui mettre la gyeon wax tube ou c est mieux d acheter la colonite 845 ? Merci à toi

[@PanTheOrganizer]

C'est mieux d'y aller avec une cire plus traditionnelle comme la Collinite. Ou pour un duo parfait, appliques la Turtle Wax ICE Spray Wax par dessus.

[@nikolatesla3067]

Malheureusement la ice spray wax n est pas disponible en France . Et le chemical guys p40 ?

[@jorgeivanvelezaguilar1531]

Easily explained Pan thanks for the video!! I was wondering... are there noticeable improvements if you clean up your car with warm or hot water instead of cold water? Thanks!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks Jorge! Using warm water can help dissolve road sats and grime a bit better during winter, yes. For the rest of the time, there aren't any major benefits from using warm water.
