Hyper Dressing Dilution?

[Exquisite]

I just picked up a gallon of Hyper Dressing today among other Meguiar products and I was curious about the Dilution rates. It says on the back label to use the "included hand pump," however the retailer I got this from obviously does not include this with the container. So my main question is how many ounces is one pump? Just so that I can get a pretty close guess for the finish I would like.

Hi Exquisite,

Here are the suggested dilutions for a 32 ounce bottle.

Keep in mind, this is for the first generation Hyper Dressing that is very thick.

One pump is approx. 2 ounces.

Follow these suggested numbers.

High Gloss 1:1 (8 pumps per 32 oz bottle)
Medium Gloss 2:1 (6 pumps per 32 oz bottle)
Satin Finish 3:1 (4 pumps per 32 oz bottle)
Natural Finish 4:1 (3 pumps per 32 oz bottle)

Keep in mind, the new reformulated Hyper Dressing, which is now shipping, has a much thinner viscosity, enabling it to be poured directly into your secondary container w/o a pump. With this new thinner formula it will also allow you to use the Meguiar's DMS 3000 Professional Metering System to ensure accurate dilutions.

I hope this sheds some light on your situation.

I've noticed that the HD I receive Is white but it doesn't match the colors in the pictures which looks blue? Also how will we Know that we are getting the reformulated HD when we buy?

Hi AutoNova,

The new HD is still light, light blue. I just went over and check the color in ours here. Make sure you look at it under a few different lights, and compare it to a true white product.

If it is thin, it is the newer version, if it is still thick, it is the older verison. Both will work great, it is just the newer one is easier to mix.

Hmm...the version I have been getting over te last few months is completely white.

[Mike Pennington]

Is it thick or thin ?

One thing I have noticed about HD is it seems inconsistent. When I first got it it would last for days on tires and lay very nicely on tires. Now for some reason when I apply it it seems very spotchy on the tires when it dries and it washes off easily? I wonder if I am doing something differently although I don't think so

Thick

Sorry to bump an old post, but I just received a gallon of HD and it is white looking... I thought new stuff that was light blue was shipping almost a year ago. Should I have any concern for the gallon I just got?

I also was wondering what the DMS 3000 was since the label said it was great for that... I guess this answers my question, but I didn't see anything else on it searching on meguiar's website. Can anyone give me more info on that as well?

Hey,

I have used both the old and the new versions and have found no differences at all except one is a little thicker.

The D-MS3000 is a metering system used by some professional detailing shops and some body shops. It is not an inexpensive unit. I can not find the price at the moment, but it was around $300. But again, that is only a ballpark. I will try and see if I can find the price.

I did find a site with one. Links are not allowed, but if you go to Auto Detailing Solutions you will find the metering system.
