/ZERO: Decon Shampoo: Dilution Testing

#detailing #decontamination #shampoo
In this video we are testing the difference between 50ML of /ZERO: Decontamination Shampoo to 500ml of water vs 30ml to 250ml of water (= 60ml to 500ml). This was after some great feedback from our testers stating that it was runny, which it is, hence the testing. We will be doing stronger dilutions to see if there is any further gains to be had.
We also think my foam cannon air ratio knob is busted... :(

Nice video guys. Great to see some documented testing. Used zero in the lance at the prescribed ratio, I like the slightly wetter consistency as a foam but for it to attack the protection I may dial the mix up next time to 75ml to 400ml water, want it to sit more as a pose to a snow foam I want that to run off. Never used it in the wash bucket but did use it on my wheels. Absolutely loved it, suds hang around and you can clearly see the difference in gloss on the alloys. Considering putting some in a spray bottle and using it as a stand alone wheel cleaner! I'm looking forward to using it in the wash bucket. All in, a fantastic product. Maybe doubled up with Megs wash plus to add a gentle further bit of abrasion to 100% remove stubborn parts of LSP. Zero will be part of my kit bag now!

That's fantastic Jamie, thanks for taking the time to provide us feedback and Zero Decon Shampoo is working well for you. Spot on with putting some in a bottle that's another way of using it. Check out Paul Doldens review, he does exactly that with great results. We are trying to show the real. This is the reason I'm am showing testing I am doing at home rather than a unit or random place. When the studio is completed we'll shoot video in there too.

@@GarageTherapyOfficial I'm currently whittling down my products, once I get to it I'll grab some wheel shampoo. I tend to use APC and shampoo unless the wheels are bad.

Absolutely love this shampoo! Nothing better for first stage prep work or deep cleaning of really grimy paint! Not very economical for regular use though, do you guys have any plans to provide a bulk buy option?

[@GarageTherapyOfficial]

We offer 1L and 5L.

[@humbledgentileimage4448]

@@GarageTherapyOfficial my apologies I didn’t see that option on your site. That’s exactly what I’m looking for thank you!

yeah that music is doing my head in.tbe

Can we just admire that outfit 😂😂😂

[@nicholasrutterford797]

I was wondering would it be ok to use Zero in an alkaline kwazar mercury bottle sprayer rather than a foam gun. If so what would be the best dilution ratio to use or would it be the same as per the foam gun. Tganks

[@GarageTherapyOfficial]

Yes absolutely, we also use this method. Depending on the soiling we recommend to start at 1:25 or 1:50 dilution ratio and see how you get it. You can go as strong is 1:10 if the soiling is really heavy.

[@nicholasrutterford797]

@@GarageTherapyOfficial Thanks for the quick reply really looking forward to trying this product. Is it also ok when using that method with a spray bottle to apply a PH neutral snow foam on top to help it stick on the panel for longer.

[@GarageTherapyOfficial]

@@nicholasrutterford797 You can do that yes but that where our /ONE: Car Shampoo fits in. It foams up pretty nice for a shampoo and can serve that purpose well.

[@nicholasrutterford797]

@@GarageTherapyOfficial well thats handy as I already have some of your shampoo so will give that a try. Can you recommend a dilution ratio to use or a recommended amount. Thanks for helping me out much appreciated.

[@GarageTherapyOfficial]

@@nicholasrutterford797 I would recommend 30ml to 300ml of water as you dont really need too much product to coat the whole car. What you can do then is have a rinse bucket and wash the car with the solution that is already on the car. Alternatively use a two bucket method, add 5ml to the bucket and proceed to wash the car as normal.

[@Kr0ken_]

At the start, was that when the car was dirty and unwashed?

[@GarageTherapyOfficial]

Yep :)

[@Kr0ken_]

Awsome! Exactly what i was missing from your first videos. Thanks for showing how the car look like before you have washed it

[@GarageTherapyOfficial]

Another video is on the way showing the wash process.
