Buying detailing chemical products in bulk is a great way to save money in the long-run if you're a detailer, but if you're new to chemical dilution, reading dilution ratios can be a confusing case of not knowing what goes where. (And how much!)
In today's video, Anthony provides a beginner's guide to detailing chemical dilution ratios, including what they are, how to interpret them and how to use them to dilute your own detailing chemicals.
This Frequently Asked Question was important enough we felt it should appear on both our main channel AND The Rag Company FAQ channel!

As a mathematically challenged guy, this has helped to ease my anxiety about doing the ratios in unmarked bottles!

Bro...this just sent off a million light bulbs for me to dilute my product that I bought. Thank you so much for simplifying it. This is what I love youtube for. Thanks again.

Great job Anthony! Very helpful. Thanks 😊

@ouarkie 2 года назад

Anthony great explanation. But I have a tip. I always pour the water in first, then pour chemical in. A lot of chemicals will foam really bad if you do it the other way. Especially with APC and degreasers. In your ounce example it would also help with knowing you got 8 ounces of chemical because the container should have a 24 ounce mark, and 32 ounce mark. Thanks for posting.

@altillman1448 2 года назад

Common knowledge in the detailing industry for mixing liquid concentrate chemicals with water is missing for some reason. Wear the minimum PPE as mentioned in the products SDS (gloves, eye protection, ect.). When mixing concentrated (>10%) aqueous chemicals (such as acids, bases and oxidizers), ***always*** pour the more concentrated solution (Brake Buster, Super Clean, Wheel Acid, ONR, ect.) into the less concentrated one (water).

@cgttc0441 2 года назад

Nicely done. Yes more chemistry please.

@oddball1959 2 года назад

Hi Anthony, great video, I always love your stuff and your personality which rocks, also congratulations "dad". I'd just like to comment about the video and I am not a hater or wise guy but I think it would have been important to tell people its always best practice to add the water before the product, or your often gonna get foamy overflow. All the best from the UK mate.

@Buckyvw 2 года назад

Great information for all. As everyone who watched the podcast, the winning brakebuster combo for the IK foam pro 2 is 10:1. 3:1 makes Anthony lose sleep at night. 🤣

@hamsack981 2 года назад

Thank you I was a bit confused. Some companies use 3:1 and others do 1:3. I'm glad that you cleared up that the smaller number is always the solution you're using. I did what you said and assumed that three to one meant three parts solution One part water. I thought that sounded weird. Thank you!

@timmy8784 2 года назад

I thought this was weird too. However, I was always told the correct way of writing and reading dilution ratios was product always listed first and water second. I guess I’m confused why their couldn’t be dilutions that contain more product than water like 3:1 meaning 75% solution and 25% water. Why wouldn’t this be possible?

@godowarus 2 года назад

I never found it difficult when it came to dilution ratios but I can see where it can be confused with dilution factors. Hope this helps everyone that may get confused with the two. And I believe some products exist where it’s x parts product to 1 part water. Meguiar’s M799 bead booster for example says 3 parts product to 1 part water.

@MrDalgard Год назад

my products need to be diluted with a rario of 1:50 and 1:200 ;)

@shawnalexander5661 2 года назад

When u mix the water and concentrate can u shake it to mix the solution up or would that create to much foam. If that is true, how would you suggest mixing the solution with out creating to much foam once its in the foamer. Could u premix it another container and then dump it in the ik foamer. Just looking for a few suggestions on how to mix the chemicsl and actually have a little more success using ik foamer.

@rjongkind 2 года назад

I wish math was this entertaining back in high school :)

@albertocbarros 2 года назад

For metric calc, the big number always go on right side, for example 1:10, 1:30, 1:40. Another point 3:1 is the same 1:4, 9:1 is the same 1:10 To mix 800ml in in 1:10 do the math: 800 / 10 = 80ml (1 part) 800ml - 80ml = 720ml (9 parts)

Whats your thought about karcher car soap ?

@frankcastle5294 Месяц назад

Simple quick answer: If your foamer is a 50 ounce style for example...you will be filling it with 45 ounces or so of water to leave a bit of air space in the container. Use warm water...stir in concentrate with spoon....add 2 ounces of quality foamer concentrate and no more. There.

What dillution ratio for brake buster works with ik tr

@brokenSnake Год назад

Brake buster isn't actually meant to be diluted. It's just that someone did it at some point to save money and it became a thing. Technically, you can dilute anything.

@yohurl 2 года назад

Is that the ratio recommended for foaming brake buster in the IK foamer? I can't seem to get that right. If anyone can recommend a ratio please do. Can you do a ratio video for foaming other products? Or do consistencies vary too much for example, with APC's to be that general?

@Ozzcaddy 2 года назад

Good explanation video Anthony. However, you never delved into metric side of what is a gallon converted to metric. From memory of my time in the USA, a gallon converts to approx. 3.8litres. Where everywhere else in the world that are in metric, 1 gallon converts to 4.5litres. Even though the ONR cap is 1/2oz, in the metric part of the world we still need to know how many litres of water is required . If there is any doubt, this website will convert Gallon(s) to Litre(s) for the US, UK, AUS.

Gonna be honest here. Just got a Marolex sprayer and its so much better than the IK. For one the dilution is not nearly as finicky… especially using Brake Buster.

@aarons7267 2 года назад

If the bottle doesn’t have a dilution ratio mark on the side, put the chemicals in and write the line and in this case, 4:1. The 8 oz of the chemicals in the video is the line.
