That would certainly work. Seems to be laziness that the brand isn't doing this work themselves!

The product should be preserved already. In truth, you are going to use it long before it would go off! The pectin would be an option although you might have trouble with it turning into lumps when you mix them.

Tap water will generally be filled with minerals. This won't cause issue as long as the surface is wet but, when it dries, these minerals do not evaporate away and they leave streaks and water spots.

Morning guys, Glycerol isn't going to really do the trick here. You could probably get the product thicker, but you are going to be diluting it heavily, given the relative quantity you would need. If you want to make a gel, you could try gelatin. As for the comparison, the ranges stated on...

It isn't wise to try. At the very least you need the MSDS to identify the carrier. Many coatings would be destroyed by water. Ipa is not a dry solvent and even the higher grades would have enough residual water to destroy many coatings. Basically you would be playing a game of chance with...

Unfortunately free samples are only going to bias the market. Small companies with expensive (their cost to the company) products cannot give away the way big companies with cheaper (cost to them, which rarely translates to the price you pay). Basically free samples are a way some companies...

NEVER use rainx or similar on interiors!! They will massively increase fogging and you have insufficient access, so they can be a serious problem to remove once you spot the mistake!

I'd have to point out that, with a name like wash & glow, I assume that it has gloss additives. In this case, that is indeed a risk when you increase use rates.

I clearly missed this the first time around! A few thoughts for you: 1) There is no magic 'wax safe' option. I'll be blunt - I know of nothing water soluble which will definitely strip wax (or have even the slightest chance against a polymer sealant), when diluted down beyond 20%. Those things...

You are, most likely, referring to 'Neverwet'. There are some major drawbacks to this technology which means that, in its present form, it is totally unsuitable for automotive application. Do a search, there have been a lot of threads on the topic.

I know it is megs but I disagree with them. The question is how the cleaning is done. With a paste type wax, you are using tiny amounts of products. There simply is not enough solvent to do it and there is also the concern as to where the 'dirt' is going. Of course the second product could be...

Strong acids and bases are actually very easy to store safely. Your benign tyre and trim dressing could destroy those same bottles. This potential confusion, to the extent of quite what is benign to any particular plastic is why, as a manufacturer, I would only have users decant into something I...

If you want to do it right, there is no easy answer. PET, for instance, is great if a product has solvents, useless if it has certain pH modifiers. HDPE is great for a range of pH, but useless with certain solvents. My advice is that you really shouldn't decant into anything, unless the...

Waxes, which you buy in pots, are paste waxes. They are pretty much solid lumps. These are NOT cleaner waxes. Waxes - which are liquid creams, are actually water containing products, will mostly be cleaner waxes. Do NOT mix these two. I have explained elsewhere that the base for a liquid...

Of course it should be pointed out that the paste is nowhere near concentrated enough that it would be comparable with IX original, once diluted as described.

Most sealants are a whole lot more durable than many people think. In any case, what is more than likely to happen is that you will end up with a mix of sealant/wax which you wouldn't be able to differentiate from two distinct layers. Basically... don't worry about it!

I spent a bit more time trying to work this all out and I have posted in Mike's thread on Jewelling Wax. Unless I am mistaken, Mike is not referring to a paste wax. He is referring to a sub-set of the chemical cleaner - a liquid product. I think he is talking about an AIO with a very fine cut. I...

I remain confused as to how these products are being considered 'low solvent'.

Out of interest, what are we meaning by paste? We are talking about solid wax, sold in pots... Not thick creamy liquids?

Absolutely but at 10 times the cost and nowhere near the flexibility. It is hard to get the hydrocarbons out without extending the cost or compromising performance.
