  • Okay, I have the dumbest question ever

    When dilluting the detailer seriers products in the applicator bottles, there is a marking on the side that says 4:1 or 10:1, with the 10:1 being higher up. Here is my dumb question...

    I understand that you are supposed to fill the water level to the marking to and then fill the product up after words. However, how high am I supposed to fill the product too? In other words, the 10:1 level only levels about a millimeter to the top of the label which would mean that it would be more like 100000:1. There is no full marker on the label or clear bottle. If I filled it all the way to the top the 10:1 would be more like 5:1 maybe even 3:1... So any ideas?

    Here you go! Courtesy of Mike:

    How to dilute the dilutable products in the Detailer Line.



    First you fill the bottle with water to the dilution level you want. In the below example we have chose 4:1 and the 4:1 is circled. That's the line/level we filled the empty bottle to with water. Where the line is pointing to a seam in the plastic is where you're going to add water for all products that you dilute.



    Next, you add your product till you reach the seam or ridge where the finger is pointing,



    Then you shake that bottle vigorously until you have completely mixed the water with the Super Degreaser.

          Remember to get the bottles that match the products you are using. Not only is the clear labeling handy, but I think they may have different dilutions marked, depending on what is popular with that product.

                  Nah, as long as you rinse it out well, it wont cross-contaminate.

                      So, this SEAM is the filling point for ALL products, no matter the dilution ratio????

                        Yes, that would be my understanding and what I have been doing.
