Carpro EcH2O and Reload ratio...what do you use

[Eldorado2k]

Good to hear my friend. I've been mixing up and providing my customers the "blue juice" since it came out and I first played around with it to find my perfect combination.

I still use the following and love it.

32oz Empty bottle
1:20 Ratio ECH20 and Distilled Water
3oz CarPro Reload

I find even on black ZERO issues with streaking or haze. Very basic Spritz onto a damp MF Cloth and wipe away. By damp, I mean I never dry or wipe the vehicle with a dry towel when washing and finishing up my drying. I always keep a gallon of Distilled water and Rinseless mixed up and I soak the rag and wring it out until it's just dampened. Use the blue juice and you're good to go from there.

So just to make sure I’m fully understanding it... Lets say you just finished going over the vehicle with your normL drying towel after a bucket wash, then you take a towel soaked in your gallon of blue juice mixture, ring it out and spritz it from your bottle a couple of times and wipe down the vehicle with just that towel and there’s no need to come back with another towel at all? No 2nd buff to wipe away any residual haze or possible streaking?

Btw, what kind of microfiber do you use for this wipedown?

I think he is saying he uses a MF rung out from being soaked in water to wipe the QD custom mix. Not the MF soaked in the QD mix rung out....that would start to get very expensive.

By gallon of “blue juice” I meant gallon of Ech2o mixed @rinseless dilution. [which is something like 1-3 oz. per bucket, I dunno, I’ve never mixed Ech2o as a rinseless wash]

I’m mainly interested in whether he gets his results from being able to do just 1 wipedown pass without having to do a final buff with a separate towel.

My process is that once I'm done washing I blow dry the car. It not only flows off all the water but any remaining dirt or what not that might be in the joints, jambs, etc. The car at this point is typically 99% dry so I then dampen the same 480gsm 16x16 Eagle Edgeless rags I use for my Rinseless Washing and use that for the wipedown. I keep a small 1gal size of rinseless solution in a pale during the process so I can re-wet the MF Rag and wring it out as I go to keep it damp. Spritz my ECH20 / Reload mix, wipe and call it a day. My rinseless that I use in the 1gal pale is Wolfgang Uber as that's my Rinseless solution of choice. ECH20 for me is strictly for my blue juice mix.

I use a ratio that was suggested on the forum a whie back : 1:1:20 (EchO2:Reloadistilled water).

Have not used it much, only twice so far on my personnal car. Did not notice any issues, seems to work well.

I use the same 1:1:20 (EchO2:Reloadistilled water) on my black car as a QD and have been very happy with it.

Do you think this would be a nice drying aid over soft99 fusso?
Or for a drying aid maybe remove the reload from the equation and just use a 1:20 dillution of ech2o so I don't affect fusso's beading?

I’ve tried it about 3, maybe 4 times. I mixed it 1 1/2 oz. Ech2o, 2 oz. Reload, and filled the remainder of a 32 oz. sprayer with distilled water. I had no problems with streaking (black car) and I thought it looked pretty good.

To throw another variable into play, I thought the best look I saw was when I put it over Griots Best of Show Detailer. I put the Ech2o/Reload on about 3-4 days after the Griots. It was really noticeable how good it looked.
