How To Dilute Detailing Products (10:1, 4:1) - Dilution Ratio Guide

[@DetailGroove]

0:25 - Explaining concentrate vs R2U / 3:43 - Different dilution ratios / 6:06 - Mixing a bottle / 10:28 - Foaming ratios. Did I cover everything you needed? Let me know if you have any questions. All links are in the description box :)

[@kellyprice9066]

Hi Oscar regarding the McGuire all purpose cleaner, I have the same McGuire brand 10:1 diluted bottle with the markings on the side. Do i fill the remainder of the bottle to the very top with the all purpose cleaner after I filling the bottle up to the 10:1 marked line with water? Or does the math need to be applied manually to where you add a small amount that does not reach the top. I did not see any markings on the bottle to let me know where to stop adding the concentrate. I did not want to over do it.

[@jjzaragoza6389]

A fast way to dilute without using a chart add the dilution ratio you want and divide it by oz of the bottle you have. For example if you want to dilute 8:1 in a 32 oz bottle. 8+1=9. Then divide 32/9 is 3.5oz of chemical 28.5 of water. After I found this out it saved me a lot of time compared to using the calculator

[@MrDickhead47]

🤯mind blown, thanks man

[@William_NS]

I was about to type a very similar comment, lol! Glad I read yours first! Dilution ratios are super confusing until you figure out the equation, but once you know that equation, they become super simple!

[@coldblackice]

Great tip!

[@Jay2423M]

that's how i calculated it when i heard of ratios. It really isn't hard, it's elementary grade math

Why is everyone slaying him in the comments about his performance on explaining this topic. Nobody is paying for his expert profesionalism. We are hear to learn of someone who clearly knows what hes talking about. He did an awesome and entertaining job on explaining in the simplest way possible. This video made me laugh especially between 6:00 - 6:13. That was making me crease. Good job bro.

@@DetailGroovethanks man , it’s what I’ve looking for on what the mixes are for a first timer.

[@rivasheart5112]

Not sure if someone commented to help him on ratio but here’s my explanation. 10:1 means 10 parts water to 1 part solution. 4:1 means 4 parts water to one part solution. 1:1 means equal amount of water to solution.

[@flamesofjihad4069]

That makes alot of sense

[@luismariocampos4277]

But what do you mean by parts

Thanks for the short simple answer 👊

[@KoalaKoala00]

Thanks for letting us know

[@JonathanIsrael708]

I know we have calculators for everything today, but I don't think you explained the actual math, even though it should make sense if someone is following along. You're dividing the bottle into how many total parts you need. So if your making a 4:1 [4 parts water to 1 part cleaner is 5 parts total] ratio for a 16oz bottle, 16oz/(4+1)=3.2 . You will pour (1) 3.2oz of cleaner into your bottle and (4) 3.2oz of water.

[@obliviondio]

The ratio 2:1 is the only exception to this rule. A 2:1 only has 2 equal parts present but with your calculation it would turn into 3 parts divided by the medium used which would be inaccurate. Therefore it can only be looked at as total medium used divided in half gets you the proper amount for both water and chemical.

[@JonathanIsrael708]

@@obliviondio huh? 2:1 ratio for an 8oz mixture would be 2.6oz cleaner and 5.4oz water. That's still three parts.. 2.6+(2.6*2)

[@EliCzSz]

Thanks so much I am beginning my details on my own and i just do a vehicle that i was using to much chemical because I do not Learn how to dilute it

[@OG_WOLFNATION]

Your the first person I’ve seen mention Malco products, which ones do you use?

[@dossegundos7145]

I hardly mess with the bottle lines. 10-1 for 32 onz, 10+1=11. 32/11=2.9. 32-2.9=29.1 oz of water and your 2.9 of product. To make it more accurate I try to work with better numbers. 33 onz of solution is 3 onz and 30 onz of water for 10-1. For 4-1 dilution I make 30onz, 4-1=5. 30/5=6 . 30 minus 6=24oz of water and 6 of product. 2-1=3 for 30onz of diluted final product , 30/3= 10oz of product 30-10=20 oz of water. With this math you can add product before you fully ran out. Say 20 oz diluted if you have like 10onz left or less in your bottle and you need 4-1 dilution. 20/5=4. 20-4=16 that's 16 water 4 product. Boom. Whatever round number works you never need to be committed to a full bottle of product 😎 just add 1 to the part ratio, divide the full amount you want, subtract the ratio number from the full amount, the big amount is water the less is product, Boom.

[@waltercortez3494]

have you ever tried diluting the adams iron remover? If so how'd that go.

Where do u get the pumps u put over the bottles

[@nathanield.4527]

Whenever I use a 4:1 dilution ratio for meguiars tire and wheel cleaner. I use a Home Depot manual pump sprayer. After a couple uses, I noticed the spray bottle no longer sprays. Is there any other sprayer will last longer and possibly not be harmed by the tire and wheel cleaner?

[@JF32304]

I did a test yesterday between Purple Power and Super Clean, Super Clean destroyed PP! It got the gunk that PP wouldn't get! I've never seen a degreaser do what SC did! I'm going to buy a 5 gallon pale.

[@jayasmrmore3687]

3:24 water always goes first. So if I need 10 part solution and 1 part water it would be 1:10 and if 10 part water and 1 part solution is 10:1

[@DetailGroove]

Quick question which pump attachments do you use to attach to a gallon container i want to use a pump to attach to a super clean gallon or a maguire hyper dressing container im trying to use a pump to avoid dropping material or wasting material when filling a 32 oz spry bottle any Amazon link you could provide that you use id appreciate it thank you

As someone who was completely lost when people mentioned dilutions, this video is great👍🏾👍🏾

[@Talldylocks]

Agree with other comments - typically your videos are very well done and full of great information. This one was not your best, mostly because of confusing explanations on dilution ratios and how to achieve them.

[@DetailGroove]

Thanks for that. You win some you lose some 🤷🏽‍♂️

I’ve never used ONR cause I have a preference for ecoshine from shine supply or ech20 for waterless/rinseless washes. Have you use either of these two products? If so how do they compare to ONR?

[@jorgeeras124]

Clean explanation thanks 🙏

[@metalpolishshop]

I feel your pain on having to explain the ratios, it has been a long time asked question. For ease of mixing I use the large number for my base (base is always first , because it is the base number) and the small number for my product/additive (adding to the base product).

No you don't unless u want to. It might be too strong and it could stain surfaces if not diluted.

Oscar...you can throw out the first 6 min. of video. You finally get to the point of the exercise at 6 min. where you show and tell, which was awesome in explaining how to fill the container (water first) and measuring in the measuring cup (emphasizing measurements can be rounded). Thank you for providing the link to determine the link for ratio computation, which will assist most questions. Only other thing I personally use instead of tap water is distilled water, but that's personal preference. Good job!
