Dumb question regarding dilution ratios

[davela72]

So I have an empty spray bottle and I have a chemical that needs diluted 3:1, how do I figure out how many oz of the cleaner and how many oz of water? I know it's 3 parts water to 1 part chemical (Optimum Power Clean) but I'm dumb from there

Optimum power clean is one of my favorite products. I use it on EVERYTHING. Assuming the spray bottle is 24oz then use 18oz of water and 6oz of power clean.

Since its 4 total parts just divide 24 or 32 however many ounces the sprayer is.

Thanks, that makes it very easy to figure out. This is my first bottle of OPC but I'm anxious to try it out!

I use it on wheels, wiper cowlings, wheel wells, and even the interior. I cant imagine detailing without it.

Sounds good to me! I'm going the Optimum route this time with my car. I'm going to try the Poli Seal topped with Opti Seal and OCW. I picked up some CG CWG for my foam gun along with some Opt car wash. This detailing stuff is getting pricey

Optimum power clean is one of the first product i have used.. and not changing ever since..

Stop looking in my detailing closet But seriously man those are ALL amazing products. Optimum has never failed me. I use their quick detail as clay lube, poli and opti seal, spray wax, power clean, and their no rinse.

I use CG CWC in all my details as well.

It cost me around a grand to get all my detailing supplies. After that I was set for a while and I still have stuff I havent used.

Haha, I've been reading up on this stuff constantly for the past few weeks. I need to get some customer cars to get some loot back though, so far all this stuff is for my car and wife's Pilot

On a side note, are you using the QD full strength for the clay lube? Also, are you using the CWG as a pre soak and then the 2 bucket method?

Thanks!

[qbmurderer13]

No I dilute it accordingly.

Also I use cg cwg as a 2 bucket. On very dirty cars I use it as a pre-soak on very dirty cars AND use the 2 bucket method.
