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!

[@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.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks!

[@gailgutierrez9118]

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.

[@nomad509]

Thank you Pan, this is such an important video! The way you explained everything was super simple and I even learned a few calculating tricks. I highly recommend those who want to go one step further and pick up some gallon jugs for those who are doing higher volume. That is precisely what I did to simplify my ONR and APC dilution when using pump sprayers.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

😁👍🏻

[@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.

[@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.

[@JeanPierreWhite]

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.

[@TopShineDetails]

No. Descale is not meant for regular weekly washes. Only to be used on an “as needed basis”, meaning when you see water spots or mineral deposits. For regular washes, use Reset.

[@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.

[@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 👍🙋🏻‍♂️

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Exact!

[@tobywall3118]

Turns out I’ve always over thought the dilution ratio bit. You’ve made it so simple I’ve always had a dilution ration calculator app on my phone where I just add the ratio and capacity and it does it for me 😂. Moved over to the car pro bottles now as it’s even easier though.

[@kirkm9215]

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@chriswebster3197]

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.

​@@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.

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.

Thank you for the very informative video. I was also thinking when you are talking about a 3 to 1 dilution ratio, why not just say a 25 percent dilution. I guess that is another way of looking at a dilution ratio. I would love to see a video on dilute chemical for foam sprayers, whether it be a hand pump(ik foamer) or one that attaches to your pressure washer. The ratios seem like they change so much depending on what products you use. It changes depends on how thick or thin the car shampoo is or whatever the product is. I never seem to get a perfect spray pattern, it's either real runny, not a lot of foam or just a straight line pattern. It's never right. Is there any car shampoo that really work good in a pump sprayer, specifically one meant for ceramic coatings? Do you know of any good videos out there or do you have one. Thanks for all your help and keep up the good work.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

There are many factors that influence the quantity of foam you get from a pump sprayer. 1) Make sure you have a FOAMING pump sprayer. Like IK Foam Pro 2, or Marolex Axel series. Each company has regular sprayers, and foaming sprayers. 2) Make sure you use a product that is meant to foam. 3) Find the appropriate dilution ratio for your setup. First start by following dilution recommendations on the label, and then adjust according to your desired level of foam. Not all products foam the same. 4) The water quality has a huge impact on thickness/richness of foam. I have a water deionizer system in my garage, for the best water with zero minerals. That means I get more foam, more suds. 5) Make sure the pump sprayer you have is good quality. IK and Marolex sprayers are excellent.

Hey Pan, great video like always question would you recommend for me to do my dilution in a 5 gallon container so every time I need to refill it’s ready to go or do you recommend me to do the dilution as I go?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Products once diluted are shelf stable to up to a year if kept in stable conditions and never frozen. So yes you could certainly dilute a big batch and refill your spray bottles as needed.

[@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.

[@haywardsparks5368]

Pan, great job as usual! McKee’s N-914 Rinseless Wash calls for a ratio of 256:1. That ratio is not on the bottle! Can I just use 10:1? What are your thoughts? Thanks!

[@PanTheOrganizer]

The 256:1 ratio is 0.5 oz for every gallon of water. It's that simple. What I do is I prepare a 5 gallon bucket with 4 gallons of distilled water, and add 2 oz of the rinseless wash. Mix that up. Then you simply dunk your sprayer bottle in there, and fill it up. That way you get the perfect dilution each time. I hope this helps!

[@haywardsparks5368]

Thanks Pan! You’ve inspired me tremendously!

[@rumualdoviales2328]

Great video like always Pan! I have a question what about when your dilution ratio ends up being an odd number i.e 20:1 using a 32 oz spray

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Just round off the numbers. It doesn’t have to ve 100% precise for detailing chemicals dilutions. If you’re in the ballpark it’s totally fine. For example, if you meed 4.8 oz of product, just use 5 oz.

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.

Hi Pan, my mate bought a Toyota hybrid with solar roof. Since car is new i recommended him to do detail job. But i wonder is it safe to ceramic coat solar roof and are you able to make video about how to polish, maintain and protect cars like that. Could be nice content for 🍀 people :) Cheers

You would treat the solar roof the same as you would the side glass and windshield, if it's made out of glass. Meaning that you could apply a coating or sealant that is glass specific.

Pan this is off subject . If bead maker attracts dust , but dream maker does not what do you think about mixing 3 part dream maker to 1 part bead maker . You would get the protection from the bead maker and maybe it would not attract dust because of the 3 parts dream maker ? What are your thoughts ? I respect your opinion .

I don’t mix chemicals unless the brand says it’s ok or unless I test. I haven’t tested such a mix, nor do I have the need to as I don’t have dust issues where I live and never experienced dust accumulation with Bead Maker personally. My car sleeps in the garage when not in use plus I wash my car twice weekly. No time for dust to do it’s thing lol

Hey Pan. I recently came across your channel and I love your videos. I want to know your views on Paint Protection Film. Is it better than ceramic in any cases? Does it justify the cost? Please let me know. I would value it greatly.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hi Hari! Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on KZbin as we surpassed 770,000 subscribers and are getting close to 100 million views! I have been detailing for 25 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers. You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing. Thanks for the kind words about my videos. Paint protection film (PPF) is very different from a ceramic coating. PPF is made to protect the paint from scratches and stone chips. A ceramic coating doesn't protect from scratches and stone chips. What it does is boost gloss, add slickness, add hydrophobic properties (water beading and sheeting), UV protection and self-cleaning properties, meaning that the vehicle is much easier to wash during maintenance washes. So for the best of both worlds, you would have a PPF applied first, and then a ceramic coating on top. I made a video showing this process here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYOmmKSafNepqKM I hope this helps!

[@dotmars]

Do you have a general guideline as to what chemicals one should dilute?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

It’s quite simple: only dilute those that say they can be diluted on the label. There are always clear instructions when dilution is recommended. Typically, products found in big box stores and car parts stores are general public, consumer type brands and are ready-to-use (RTU) formulas that don’t require dilution. Prosumer or professional oriented brands often offer products in bulk size that can be diluted. But again, check the instructions.

Hey Pan, so I have an air fragrance concentrate that has to be diluted 1:1 but for some odd reason the smell isn’t getting any stronger no matter what I try, I spray typically around the front mats and on the side of the interior, any tips on this?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I don't know what air freshener you're using so it's hard to say, and also what do you mean by "isn't getting any stronger"? After a few days, you get what is known as "nose fatigue" meaning you get used to odors, so they might smell less to you. That's also normal. One trick often used to prolong the scent is to start your A/C, run it full blast in air recirculation mode, and spray one or two sprays near the footwells, so the mist will get sucked up in the vents and every time you start the A/C, it will give out that nice scent.

[@YamiNoKami310]

@@PanTheOrganizer I’ll try that today, thanks for the tip! It seems to be an in house product from Car Aroma here in California, the place I used to get my car washed used the scent and it would last for weeks, they said I could buy the fragrance from that company but I figured I must be doing something off. The bottle it came in is tightly closed and I have spilled some on the outside of the bottle but of course cleaned it since then(weeks ago) and I can still smell it no problem, it’s just not as strong/smelly as I’m used to inside the car. Kind of like when a cologne is applied it usually last hours, it’s closer to little to no smell at all.

Ça fait plaisir! Merci !!

[@jemz12341]

Could you explain what the dilutions mean? For example, if the the ratio is 20:1 does that mean it is a less stronger chemical?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Correct. High dilution rations (1:10, 1:15, 1:20) are more diluted (less concentrated) compared to low dilution rations (1:1, 1:2, 1:5). The bigger numbers mean you’re adding more water.
