- Dilution ratios seem to be a confusing part of auto detailing for the guys starting in the business, and I have received question after question about this subject, so finally, here is a comprehensive video sharing what dilution ratios are, and how I professionally dilute several of my products! Diluting concentrates is not nearly as complicated as many seem to think it is, some simple math, fractions, etc... and that is really it. Dilution ratios in all reality is not an exact science, and as you grow as an auto detailer you will begin to dilute chemicals differently, while you learn how certain chemicals react in certain situations! Follow along, and leave your confusion behind with auto detailing dilution ratios!

Couldn’t of broke it down any better 👌 well done my man!
It took me a couple of hours of watching useless videos of affiliates trying to sell a product for their commission to find your video. Thanks very much! I needed the details you give in this video!!
When I was starting out my worry was mixing SH correctly as not to kill anything or damage a house. I asked all the " so called gurus " but nobody would answer me or they want you to join their group for 99 a month or pay them 75-100 bucks. I have found out all the information and put in a pdf, im asking 25 bucks. It covers brick, vinyl, hardy board, etc. Weather you downstreaming or xjetting . i got 5 gallon, 25 and 50 gsallon miv ratios. Email satmanjf@gmail.com
This is an outstanding explanation. I wasn't sure what they were going by when they say 3 to 1 and so forth. You made it clear that it's usually in ounces and that gives me my answer. I didn't even know about diluting with the super clean. I sprayed it on my dash of vehicle and it took the paint off. This works well on seats and carpet but dilute it if using it on other things
Good video. You are right though. Some people just get too caught up on getting the most perfect ratio like if they are working on a chemistry project trying to discover a cure. Just get it close enough, it will work lol
+Victor Hernandez Hahahaha that’s a great way to say that! Absolutely!
In the example of 32oz at a 10:1 you would use 2.7oz of product and 29.3oz of water.
That doesn't seem like much of a difference when you could just just pour a rounded amount and be done with it. However things change when you dilute larger sizes.
10:1 with 128oz jug (1gal). That equates to 11.6oz and 116.4oz water. That becomes a substantial difference.
Thanks for running through all those ratios individually. Basic math (specifically intervals of 5) has been very difficult for me to understand up until this point. 👊
You speak at an effective speed❤
Literally MONTHS of research ( I'm hardheaded) not even 4minutes into your video all my Damm questions have been answered what the french!!
Ummmm yea I already subscribed!!!!
Thank you!!!!!
Yes searching for dilution charts and finding the amount or container size needed is the simplest way to go about it. The issue may be having to still subtract to reach the target. Best thing is to dilute it for a full empty gallon container, and top off your bottle sprayer as needed, that way the mix is more consistent rather than spending time refilling a not quite empty spray bottle, dripping product and exposing it to other elements every time is diluted.
Definitely!
Love your videos truly a big help in trying to start a detailing business
Awesome Jaden! SO GLAD!!

Wow plug this guy in to an outlet he is full of information I’m learning so much I watch tons of his videos and was a bit curious on his consent use of the word dilution ratios so I google it and hit video who pops up, him explaining what he mean and how he does it. Even more reasons why I’m happy that I have been viewing his videos on detailing cars. I might just purchase his $500 package. Keep up the great work
Thanks this will help me and as well for the new mobile detailers....
Thanks
Luke for everything you do.
+Junior Sandoval thank you junior I appreciate you!
Can you dilute the speed of your voice 2:1?
as usual, thanks for the no-BS straight talk
amino! Really appreciate you explaining it love you my friend.

Thank you SUPER CLEAN TEAM! WE LOVE YOU
Thanks for taking the time to explain it. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I was trying to find out how to make a 5 parts water 1 part hydrogen peroxide mixture and you explained it really fucking well, Thanks
Absolutely fantasticly explained 😁👍🏼 thank you so much 😊 from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thanks!! grabbed a gallon of Super Clean along with some spray bottles from Walmart!!
I always though I understood it untill I saw your video and you make more sense thanks for clearing it up man
Of course! Thank you my man!
How do you do it in ml? For example I want to make APC 10:1 at 1L bottle and 4:1 also at 1L bottle.
This guy is sure over detailing his explanation :)
10 ounce water then 1 ounce chemical =10 to 1 = 10:1
This did it for me.
Thanks!
Wtf does that mean??? 10%???
If I do the 10-1 for APC meguiars would that work for interior or exterior or both ? Is it safe for carpet ?
Love watching the vids, great info! Bought maguiars apc per your rec but now I have white chalky residue. Has this happened to you? How'd you fix it? Seems like I used too much product...but what now?
Thanks for the tips, Brother.
Great video Luke.. very well explained, Thanks Mr. Super clean! hehehe... greetings from Cartagena, Colombia
hahahaha thank you Oberto!!! Glad to help!
Thank you.
you do 5:1 dilution for super clean for upholstery, fabric, plastics, etc. or just carpet?
Just so I'm clear....mixing anything 10:1 means that out of a total of 10 parts, 9 parts should be water, 1 part should be product.
In other words, 10% of the total volume is product. Not--->> for every 10 parts water I should add 1 part product--meaning I have 11 total parts. Correct?
Mike K no, it's 10 parts water, 1 part prouduct. 10: 1 is the ratio.
I used to think it was simple lol...I guess it depends on the nomenclature:
"dilution ratio is the ratio of solute to solvent. It is often used for simple dilutions, one in which a unit volume of a liquid material of interest is combined with an appropriate volume of a solvent liquid to achieve the desired concentration. The diluted material must be thoroughly mixed to achieve the true dilution. For example, in a 1:5 dilution, with a 1:5 dilution ratio, entails combining 1 unit volume of solute (the material to be diluted) with 5 unit volumes of the solvent to give 6 total units of total volume.
This is often confused with "dilution factor" which is an expression which describes the ratio of the aliquot volume to the final volume. Dilution factor is a notation often used in commercial assays. For example, in a 1:5 dilution, with a 1:5 dilution factor, (verbalize as "1 to 5" dilution) entails combining 1 unit volume of solute (the material to be diluted) with (approximately) 4 unit volumes of the solvent to give 5 units of total volume. Note that some solutions and mixtures take up slightly less volume than their components."
taken from wiki--en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dilution_ratio
thanks for clarifying @frank2217
Mike K yes, 10-1 equals 11 parts just like 4-1 equals 5 parts. Without bottle markings some math is needed but can work to refill existing bottles with product already inside, and allows adding water before the product. Example, the bottle has a 32 onz capacity and has 6 onz of 10-1 diluted product. 32-6=26, to be safe and not overfill we use 25 as the target, keeping the 10-1 ratio, 10-1=11. 25/11=2.727x10(water or majority ratio)=22.272727+2.2727=the 25 onz target. Rounding it off, you add 22.5 onz of water then add 2.75 onz of product this will fill up the bottle close to 31.5 onz that already had about 6 onz of product mixed. Easier to have gallons premixed and use those with the same formula. I'll do a 32 onz bottle 4-1 quick. 32/5=6.4x4=25.6(water first) then 6.4 0nz of product added to get 32 onz, round numbers work better, Ml allows more flexibility and accuracy to avoid rounding up or eyeing or guessing amounts
So no matter what the dilution ratio in a 32oz bottle, I will always end up with more than 32oz of mixed solution correct? (based upon your statement, "Mike K yes, 10-1 equals 11 parts just like 4-1 equals 5 parts") "5 parts" ...meaning "more than 32oz of solution now."
However, your last statement, "I'll do a 32 onz bottle 4-1 quick. 32/5=6.4x4=25.6(water first) then 6.4 0nz of product added to get 32 onz" ,..... will yield a total of 32 oz of solution.
Those 2 examples yield different total amounts of solution???? I'm cornfuzzled lol.
Dont overthink it, technically in this context 10:1 does in fact mean 11 total ounces, that can change when you get into more specific things, like in chemistry when you are doing titrations, dilutions, and different things like that, but that is more in an academic context, not really real life like we are doing here, 10:1 will yield 11 total ounces, but again, just eye it, no need to be exact when you are diluting in this context, the tiny amount off that you may be is not going to make a big enough difference to do anything. :D
I absolutely love the HDX bottles from Home Depot.. Thanks for the tip
YES!!!! WIN
Thanks for all the advice!
Thanks for this video Mr. Teacher!
Very helpful video, Luke!
Technically, a 10:1 dilution, I would make is 9 parts distilled water and 1 part product (10 ounces total)
Thats 9:1 technically
10 ounce water then 1 ounce chemical =10 to 1 = 10:1
Very helpful 👌
Just wait for the video explaining diluting using weight ratios as opposed to volume ratios ;P
Hahahahahaha YES! Getting really detailed!

Luke I'm already using VRP, do I really need MEGUIARS HYPER DRESSING?
Thanks for explaining this.
Does it matter if the water comes from the faucet versus using distilled water ?
Pff good explanation, nice
Thank you so much.
Hi Wilson. Great video from your side. I learned too much. Just need to ask about what a final product could be used on the engine bay ?? i mean, what could be a spray for the engine plastic to look shiny ?? of course after being detailed with the meguiar's all purpose cleaner. Thanks
It’s been two years so I feel you have found the answer to this by now, but still. Use a dressing such as VRP by chemical guys or something similar and it will look great!
Hey brother, I love your videos. I have a quick question to ask you. How would you clean the grease and grime from steering wheel and shifter knob? Would you use all purpose cleaner or some other cleaner? Thanks
+mujjuman normally I go for my super clean because that area collects so much grease and grime because people’s hands are all over it and we all know peoples hands are disgusting hahaha! So I would go with a non abrasive scrub pad, toothbrush, and super clean 5:1
Hi I just asked you a question about products , but I have a new one . Is there any one product one can use after washing that does it all ??
Hey man do you dilute your wheel brightened or use it full strength?
I use wheel brightener 5:1
What about if the product says to dilute 1:500 or 1:800 what does that mean? Every 1oz water you put 500oz of product? I’m so confused by this dilution ratio plz help. (Side note working with a 32oz bottle)
Thank you thank you thank you my friend love you mi amigo!
Sorry guy but you are wrong with this.
A solution ratio it's a proportion (or a fraction) of the product in the total volume, weight, etc. So for example 1:10 means 0.1 or 10% of the total volume of dilution. In other words, 90% (l, ml, oz, etc.) of water and the product then will be 10%.
1:4 is 25% product if the total, for example for 1 litre you need 250 ml of product and 750 ml (3:4) of water.
1:2 is 1 part water, 1 part product.
1:1 is just directly. No solution at all.
Keep yourself well informed about this point. I study chemicals and believe me, you are wrong. Hope that helps. 👍
Still confusing how about 50% water 50% product 🍻
What do you mean? 50/50 would be a 1:1 dilution
@@wilsonautodetailing what dilution do u recommend for a 2016 Honda Accord interior the interior on white accords is always like a khaki color for the seats thank you love ur vids
Great video thanks
Hey wilson thank you for all your videos, i want to buy the meguiar's all purpose cleaner, but i just want to ask you what ratio shoul i use for dash and door panels i dont want to damage my cars, thanks on advance
ivan garza usually a 10:1 ratio is safe
I havent watched video yet ...but i'm am having a major brain freeze atm...I have a 1 litre bottle of weed killer and that dilutes to 200 litres of product. I have bought a 5 litre sprayer so how much weed killer do I put in with the 5 litres of water ??? I got 10 mls then I got 40 mls ,I'm so loosing the plot over this as its strong stuff and I don't want to muck it up...Help ? anyone ..
How do I do 10.1 in a 2 litre pump sprayer thanks
How much can I put in a 1 gallon pump sprayer
what would the ratio be for the meguiars super degreaser to work with it as an APC for dash, inside door car panel, steering wheel, leather, carpet, middle console etc?
P&S bros 10:1
What ratio would be best to use for purple power to clean the inside of the car?
I would dilute it 10:1 at the most concentrated
Instead of diluting with water, can you dilute with an all purpose cleaner like fabuloso? O.o
Meaning can you dilute a cleaner with another cleaner?
Hmm...well when you put it that way...sorry, dumb question lol The point is to make the cleaner weaker right? lol
Swayze wouldn't make it weaker it would only enhance since there both cleaners with many uses.
What's the best product for a finishing smell after a detail
honestly I try to stay away from specific scent products and just let the cleaners leave their natural clean smell behind
please tell me how to make a sealant (which a spray can protect a car from water etc)?
I wouldn’t make a sealant but I would buy it. Check out bioseal
Hi, I have a auto cleaning business and I detail vehicles likes Semi trucks, fire trucks, and Swat vehicles, my question is I just bought a new degreaser that has a 150:1 ratio, my chemical tank is 24 gallons, How would I figure out that problem?
A dilution ratio is not in any specific measurement meaning you can use what ever you want. 5 ounces of water to 1 ounce of cleaner
10 liters of water to 1 liter of cleaner, etc...
24/151=.16 gallons or 20.5 ounces
Before, when cleaning my rims, i used to use Meguiars Wheel Brightener 4:1. But I wash my car once a week and the rims is not so dirty ; 10:1 is more than enough. I don't want to waste my chemical. This is a tip for people who don't wait their rims to become very dirty before they clean it.
(I think professional should have two spray for the wheels : one is 4:1 and the other is 10:1. So the professional can chose and don't have to waste money in using more product than needed)
I love that man! That is great for people who clean them weekly, sometimes Ill actually just use ONR because even that is more than enough on my own wheels
ONR, great idea ! Thanks. I will prepare some in a hand pump.
How do I get a 10% dilution?
Is 10-1 a good dilution for cleaning cloth car seats??
si
Hi I cant buy super clean in the uk what would you recommend for wheels and tires cleaner ?
I would probably recommend this because this is what everyone I know uses.

I have a client who spilled “about a gallon of weed eater gas “ in her CRV I have cleaned with various cleaning supplies and the smell just won’t budge. Any suggestions?
Ozone machine.
@@ApolloTurnMeUp what is that?
Apologies. I didn’t see your reply. It’s basically a machine that converts oxygen into ozone using electricity. It generates O3 from O2 and since the O3 is an unstable bond the third oxygen molecule will bond to anything in the car in an attempt to revert back to regular oxygen. It does this by attaching the extra molecule to viruses, bacteria, odors, etc and removes them at an ionic level. However if there is still gas in the carpet and or upholstery then no amount of ozone will get rid of the smell. Alot of people over estimate the ability of ozone machines. Always remember its meant to remove the smell not remove the source of the smell itself. Just make sure you for sure have removed the entirety of the gasoline and then run it and it should go away no problem.
@@maryanncfleming They are fairly safe but the ozone is toxic to breathe in. So make sure you read the instructions and possibly even watch a few videos before trying it. But it will work.
I did dilute super clean 5:1 and made my black door panel faded! any advice?
You do have to use caution with degreasers and interior pieces 😬😬😬
HDX at Home Depot 6.20
What does this mean?
So its okto dilute it with filter water?
yep definitely!
Darn this guy is fast talker. I think he had a teleprompter. Not many ah um um na na oo
Luke! I just have a simple question, where did you buy those measured spray bottles ?
He mentioned The Home Depot.
they're also a dollar at Walmart got some today
Luke, I think those HDX bottles from Home Depot are more like $1.98 a bottle not $1 :(
Sam yea prices went up
Ya probably right, but still worth it
+Wilson Auto Detailing yes I still bought a couple to try out
Try the Walmart sprayers also. Same price and I think they are better even though I like the HDX sparayer also. Can't go wrong with either
Bro, how do dilute colloidal silver from 120 ppm to 5ppm?
Thanks.
Not sure 😂😂
@@wilsonautodetailing its cool, thanks though. Good video.
was this a joke or fr? else its just simple 60x
The proper way to dilute is with beakers and scales...Walter White would be furious if he saw this.
😢
If you took Biology 101 and/or chemistry 101 in HS or college you should all know dilutions :)
Very true!
Yeah I did 20 years ago lol so sorry I forgot chemistry I haven’t taken or thought about since 1995. Geez what an ass
What if it says 1:10 on these dumb ass concentrate bottles? Does that still mean 10:1?
I used Meguiars APC to clean the interior of my car and went back the day after and it had left a white powdery residue on the doors and basically anything that was made of plastic. I've tried dish soap, viniger, glass clean (the stuff is also on the windows). It will not come off. The only thing that has worked for the plastic is dash dressing but I'm guessing all it has done is dye the powder black (or whatever this stuff is). It will not come off no matter what I was and how much I use. Does anybody know how to get rid of this stuff thats all over my plastics and windows. I've never known a 'cleaning product' to make something dirtier! Have I maybe not diluted it properly?? Please help someone!😂
yeah you'll want to dilute it more. could also be fade if dirt was sitting on the same spot for a long time
has anyone every mentioned you talk kinda fast?
Hahaha no never!!
The bottles R actually $1.98
Different places geographically will vary in price a little bit
