    Diluting with distilled water

    Have anyone tried diluting Last Touch 1:1 with DISTILLED water? If so, did anyone noticed a difference (any at all)? Or is it just a waste of money to use distilled water?

    FWIW, I usually dilute my products with filtered water. I don't think I would notice any measureable difference actually using distilled water.

      I try to keep 2-3 gallon bottles of distilled in the shop - it's cheap enough.

        I use distilled water. Probably no difference whatsoever. This last go around, I used filter water and there isn't any difference.

          I dilute last touch for claying with distilled water all the time.

            The only thing I use distilled water with is the Glass Cleaner Concentrate, pretty much everything else is with regular water.

              APC and APC+ are the only products I don't dilute with distilled water.

                I dilute my LT with distilled water.

                I have done it once with normal tap water and to be honest, I didn't notice any difference.

                I suppose I use distilled water for peace of mind and it's cheap enough, so why not..

We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                  I use distilled water. It's only a buck and a quarter per gallon.

                    20 cents a gallon at the water machine near my local Big Lots. I bought a huge water container (made for camping, holds 7 gallons) and I just fill it up for $1.40. Lasts me for weeks. I use distilled water for everything from diluting Last Touch to filling my coffee maker and steam machine.

                      LT diluted with distilled water is a must if your are working in the sun. I tried diluting with tap water for clay lube and in places it would leave water spots where it spattered/dried before I could get to it.

                        ^^ Good point, I never thought about the sun aspect, since I always work indoors.
