How to dilute detailing products: from spray bottles, to foamers, to FOAM CANNONS! Podcast 116

Excellent video!
Detailing Made Simple, Pan The Organizer have some excellent videos for dilution calculations if needed.

256:1 for rinseless is all you need.
PIR in my opinion is a scam. There’s no reason to use the amount they say.
Just use an ounce of incredible suds.

The tip to measure and mark our buckets is simple but something I never thought of, thanks for that. Will definitely make future mixing much simplier

Almost skipped the video because i know how to do math...
Glad i didnt skip it :)

Will DI water have a negative impact on diluted rinseless or all clean if I mixed a gallon and didn’t use it all and wanted to store it for a week or two, no longer.

How about a video on PH

128 ounces of water : 8 ounces of product is 16:1, not 15:1

Yvan, I am confused by your math saying a 32 ounce spray bottle needs 1 ml of Rinseless or 1/28th ounce of Rinseless. A 32 ounce spray bottle is 946 ml's, just shy of a full liter. A 256:1 ratio to 946 ml's I calculate would say that spray bottle need 3.69ml or round up to 4 ml's of Rinseless not just one? And since 32 ounces is 1/4 of a gallon and a gallon gets a half ounce of Rineseless, wouldn't a 1/4 of a gallon (32 ounces) need 1/4th of a half ounce or 1/8th of an ounce, not 1/28th? Maybe I am screwing up the math somehow but I cannot work it out in my head.

32 ounce spray bottle how many ounces should I put all clean?

Why put a spray nozzle on the bottle if it then needs to be diluted 1:1 to get to 30:1?

Why are my DIY bottles (others too, in fairness) leaking out the bottom? It is for sure not coming from the top. Thx.

Lol, just tested it real time. I take B-12 shots so had a syringe. Did my bathrom mirror, my fionce bathroom mirror, all my door jams so I don't have to do them tomorrow morning and all in a 32oz spray bottle lol. Without question worked.

Incredible Suds dilution in a IK 12 foam sprayer 128 ounces of Distilled water & 8 ounces of Incredible Suds ?

Question on rinseless wash - we are not using it in a typical use case but we have found out that using rinseless wash (v1) on the kitchen stove (and the wall adjacent to the stove) cleans extremely well and really simplify cleanup. We use in on a cool surface and generally food do not drop on the stove. Is that ok or is it not recommend? We avoid using it on the dining tables just in case.

another great video that focuses on one specific area of detailing. i mark my 5 gallon buckets at the gallon marks but i also have a stick, like a long paint stirrer, and put it in the bucket and mark the gallon lines on the stick so it can be used in any similar 5 gallon bucket to measure the water level.....i just had an idea i could drill a 1/4" hole at each gallon level on the bucket and put removable rubber plugs in the holes so if i want 2 gallons in the bucket i take the plug out at the 2 gal mark, run water into the bucket and when the water comes out the hole i got 2 gal and i put the rubber plug back in, oh well, maybe that's going a bit too far but nick might like the idea :)

Very informative video!
Btw can you add some all clean to your foam cannon that has incredible suds inside of it for super dirty cars that hasn’t been washed in months?
If so how much is recommended

I love organization, even more so when I don't have to find ways to rationalize an expensive purchase!

I love my viper chair!!! They are so helpful

I cut a line with an exacto knife at the 4 gallon mark

I used the exact method of a gallon milk bottle to mark my bucket last year. My question is, the one cap full to a gallon, is it the cap of the gallon bottle of Rinseless?

I think we should make a short on sprayer maintenance for 16oz spray bottles with say ceramic gloss or the like. I recently had a ceramic spray trigger quit working. Now I spray rinseless or clean water through the sprayer when I’m done with it (hobbyist detail so I’m not using them daily)

Been thinking of these two products in gallon form.

Vid still didn't help I suck at math they shd have made this easier. wht in the world does 15:1 mean? how to u know how much soap to add in the foam cannon or bucket. I honestly just eye ball it until it looks right and waste product smh. How about just showing wht it shd look like with a bucket and foamer.

Great video sir.

Ivan I can't stand bottles of chemicals for pools that say metal out!! And similar. Metal out dos not remove thermals.
It ser1qqqq+qq

Excellent video 👌👌👌. How you guys use fluid jibber jabbers is beyond me! 😂. A scale whereby 0-100 is a far easier and accurate system of measurement. 4ml to 1000ml of water couldn't be simpler. Working out panel impact ratios using the metric system is a piece of cake to do and gets you the maximum out of your product simply and keeps costs at a minimum. One criticism about DIY products (virtually thee only criticism) is having a metric scale of measurement on the bottle labelling. What would be cool for your guys to have would be a dual peel label on the bottle with every ratio of usage that the product can do, and have that in metric too. Having a QR code is handy, but takes too many clicks on your phone screen with wet fingers and hands because some people might not be prepared in time 😂. I'd love to see all that information printed on the bottles 👍

Nick makes everything more complicated. But it’s entertaining 😂

if you had an IK Foam Pro 12 with only water and incredible suds in it how much incredible soap would you add per gallon of water?

Those stools look amazing! What brand are they? Is it for sale on your site?

I have the IK 2 foamer and I kept having to do math every time I'd fill it up. I saved an empty distilled water bottle to mix All Clean one gallon at a time. Just wrote the dilution amounts on the side then I put some Incredible Suds in when I put it in the foamer.
Question: If I can't be bothered to get a foam cannon and do 90% Rinseless but would be interested in a 'hybrid' wash once in a while, I figure I could get some foam out of my IK Foamer with some Incredible Suds, what ratio would you mix that at?

Does the chemical go bad when stored? I hear you saying it can smell but is it not working at that point? seems like it would encapsulate minerals as soon as you mix it. I have well water and have had it mixed in a keg for as long as a month with no smell. So is it still good even if it smells? Thanks

Thanks Yvan for clearing up on dilution ration especially in the cannon . I always guess 10:1 ratio . Il stick with 8ounces of allclean to 128 ounces for my 3.5L pump tank. I pretreat with allclean 10:1 in the mjjc cannon and 4 caps full of incredible suds to amp up the foam and dwelling time. I let sit for almost dry but still some suds on then rinse off with pressure washing. Then ill lube it up with rinsless wash and let it sit then spray with the pump tank and start washing with the sponge. Im a little more cautious but it works great . I like how the black trim comes out so nice.

Great information!

What about products that advertise 10:1 in a foam cannon but you want to use that product in iK foamer? 100:1?

Bought some Rinseless V2 (256:1), was trying to figure out to how to fill my empty 16oz bottles. Now I know.

You guys said your faom sponge was special... detail co. Said there spong and your sponge were the same exact sponge just different color is this tru?

Honestly guys, just make it easy for your customers and put out a nice chart with your dilution recommendations and different volumes of water. Unfortunately nobody wants to fuss with the calculations.

Hi guys, i bought a gallon of All Clean. What’s the expiration date or how long will it last and still be effective if its sealed and never opened? Also, once it’s opened, how long will it last and still be potent?

I watched the video from a couple yrs ago with you guys using Quick Beads in a foam cannon.

Should gallon size Quick Beads be diluted? And can it still be put in a foam cannon?

Your topics are just awesome. Can’t believe you keep coming up with more educational videos. You bring up so many common thoughts and questions and answer it!
Thanks!

Make a 256:1 capable all clean

Another great conversation and tips!

I find dilutions simple! Example in a 1000ml bottle (1 liter). I add the parts, example 15:1 makes 16 parts, so 1000/16 = 62.5ml of product in the rest of demineralized water (937.5ml). Like the percentages 1% = 10ml per liter 2% 20ml per liter and so on......

So Yvan, I just Purchased the IK FOAM PRO 12 Foaming Sprayer. How would I best use the Rinse Less Wash in it, and Would I need to Add any Incredible Suds to the MIX to Wash My (HOUSE) 😳... My F-150 Super Crew Pick Up Truck 😂... Thanks For the Great Video's BTW.

Thank you! I’ve just saved this video for future reference.
Now, one thing I didn’t know was that the spay bottle of All Clean was already diluted. I was diluting it further to 15-1. Thank you!

The foam cannon dilution explanation was phenomenal! You made it very easy to understand! Thanks!

I know this is of topic, but what is the secret to removing bugs that have baked onto your vehicle? Used p&s bug remover, turtles foam bug, and tar remover. Nuttin is working.

I buy all your products in gallons sizes that are available. I only do my personal vehicle. I put them in the graduated squeeze bottles that come marked with oz. and MLS. Easier than pouring out of a gallon jug and no cap measuring which can be difficult for a 66 y.o. with arthritis. Also my 5 gal. buckets come with raised lines at gallon intervals.

I would love to see a video of what rinse less and all clean can do outside the auto detail world (home uses)

I recently bought de-ionized water from watching one of your videos (to help with water spots etc) but in this video you never mentioned de-ionized but distilled water, can I use De-ionized instead of distilled water for storing ready mixed / ready to go ?

Syringe for measuring smaller spray bottles is brilliant. Thank you.

Just experiment with your products until you find what you like. Then, try and do the job with less chem to see if you get the same results. Write down every time until you nail it perfectly.
