    Mix ratio for Ech2o with Reload

    I tested it at 1:25 Ech2O cut 1:10 with reload, here's a little video showing it: I would say make the QD dilution to your desired level for what you are doing then cut that 1:10 with Reload https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACOdjEj1iOs I really like this QD + Reload mix, gives it a little more...

    CarPro Ech2O QD, QD w/Reload, Rinseless Wash, with video

    Yup this car has WG Uber Ceramic, applied about 14 months ago. The coating does help. Same washing techniques have been used for non-coated vehicles also. "bad" washing techniques will still scratch a coated vehicle, as I learned when I was experimenting with how far I could push a rinseless wash.

    I was pretty hesitant to make the switch also. To give you an idea of how soft the paint is on this vehicle I corrected it with Menz SF3500 and a white pad. I swear just looking at the car in a way it doesn't like will scratch it haha. Top notch MF towels (nothing from a big box store will cut...

    anyone use a dash cam?

    Yup, It was when I had an STi, 100% profiled because of the car. Both times found not at fault with help of the video. One time a cop cited me for doing 95 on an off ramp, video clearly showed me doing ~35. Another time an unmarked cop cited me doing 75 in a 55 passing him, video showed me doing...

    anyone use a dash cam?

    https://dashcamtalk.com/ is the place to check out. I've been using the street guardian panorama g for a few years. I have used footage from it twice in court to prove the cops blatantly lied (it records gps coordinates date/time and speed). But mostly I have it for 'just in-case' for...

    yup same thing here, I'll use the same soap that they are about to be washed in and manually agitate them in a bucket with a grit guard. Sent from my SM-G925I using Tapatalk

    CarPro Ech2O QD, QD w/Reload, Rinseless Wash, with video

    Well I had mixed up 12 oz of the QD + Reload so I went out and did another QD round, because why not :) I can't speak high enough of this mixture of how pleasant it is to use compared to Reload itself. 10 mins to detail and lay down some Reload is amazing! I'll need to see how it lasts, but this...

    It was a good way to pass the time during another snow storm :) Thanks. During the summer I'm a skydive videographer and Vimeo does a better job with higher bit and frame rates, and there's no ads.

    CarPro Ech2O QD, QD w/Reload, Rinseless Wash, with video

    Figured I would add my 2 cents about Ech2O and provide a video. Test subject: 2014 BMW 335xi Black. It was corrected and coated with WB Uber Ceramic about 14 months ago; Reload was applied about 8 months ago. As we all know black is the ultimate test of swirls, haze, streaks... pretty much...

    Still crazy about D114

    I was just reading up on it. I love D114 for it's purpose, glad to see something else will be (attempting) to fill it's shoes

    Still crazy about D114

    I had no idea they axed D114 until right now, ugh. It's still my go-to rinseless pre-polish product. Glad I still have a few gallons that will last a while but that sucks. What's next D108??

    Review: McKee's 37 Wheel and Glass Coatings

    Thanks. It's been a little over 3 months for this vehicle and it gets driven about 700 miles/week. It hasn't rained very much so the wipers haven't been putting the glass coating through much abuse. The water still beads and flies off the windshield at highway speeds. I was actually just...
