Add a bit more into the next mix. I have found you can add about an extra ounce in 5 gallons of water with no issues. It seems to work a bit better for me personally. I have also found if car is particulary dirty you can makeup some in bottle with fine spray and spritz panel prior to wiping it with mixture in bucket.

Do you wash the towels that have been used with this concentrate in the house washing machine? Or will it funk up everything that's washed after it. I know waxed cloths can't be.

Have you tried these towels? They look pretty handy for waterless washing and quick detailing.
I wash the towels normally with other MF towels but outside of all other types of laundry. If you find they dont seem as soft use a cup of white vinegar in the rinse.

As for those disposible towels, no I have not tried them, but worried they may create marring on paint. I cannot imagine something disposible being created of only the best materials.

Thanks. So how does 2 oz to 32 oz water in bottle sound to you?

Okay. Thanks for that. I appreciate it.

depends on what your making, a detail spray, a clay lube, or a rinseless wash. I often start with about 1 ounce and keep adding a small amount till I find what I like. I look for lubrication, streaking on paint, and ease in wiping off. Chris at Optimum is often available by email and on our forum to help with Optimum products as needed too.

I wanted to use the "spray n wipe" method as the wash...
My local Ferrari/Bentley/Maserati dealership uses/used a different product (Freedom Waterless) in a spray n wipe application for cleaning. This product though turned white if left unwiped (ie. in jambs and crevises).

While I suggest wiping off anything you spray, I doubt you will see any "white" (almost sounds like that product might have some polish or wax properties too). I find Optimums and Ultima the best Waterless/Rinseless products on market currently.
