When you use product like a wash shampoo are you measuring an exact 1 oz., 2 oz., etc. or are you just eyeballing the amount. If you are measuring what do you use as your measuring device?
To be honest I'm eyeballing a lot and I think it's wasting product. I do it with car wash, ONR, micro-restore, that's about it.
 
I take a measuring cup and put 2ozs. of water in it then transfer to a plastic cup.Then I take a magic marker and put a line where the 2ozs tops off.Wella!!!!2ozs.every single time:D
 
I use the little plactic cup that comes with cough medicine.
 
Eyeballing most of the time it comes with experiance saying that on sensative stuff the mixing bottle comes out to play.
 
I use the cough medicine cup. I also get a see through plastic dixie cup and put lines on it with permanent marker every 1/2 oz, using the medicine cup for measurement.
 
most of my products that require measuring i use pumps that are one ounce per pump....otherwise the squeeze bottles i use are from my old bartending days that dispense approx. 1/8 of an ounce per second so i just do my counting how i used to when i was a bartender :)
 
To be honest who cares about measuring. Seriously, who can be f-----?
 
I just started measuring my car wash soap and water. I watched Mike Phillips video a while ago and never tried it... for some reason last week I decided to try it out. I marked gallon lines on my Wolfgang bucket, filled up 3 gallons of water and 3 oz of Gold Class and now I'm good to go! In the past I've been eyeballing it... I personally think I wasn't using enough...
 
I measure....reason being soap is a cleaner...and they give the ratios that are safe to use...now if you add more you made a stronger cleaner and your work may be washing off ....

I use the cup that comes with the cold medicines...works perfect....

If the product says use 1oz to 2 gallons and you use 2- 2 1/2 oz by eye ballin you made a double strength cleaner and it will attack your hard work...

wax is very sensitive to strong mixes....it will degrade fast....and you will still degrade a sealant also...

I use a stronger mix only when doing a prep wash and polishing to follow....other than that I use whats directed to use..thats why they have the ratios on the bottle ..for a safe wash...

a little of both..if i'm in the basement where my measuring cups are i measure..just the opposite in the garage
 
eyeball most of the time, sometimes I can't find the measring cup.
 
I use a small measuring cup to measure out the soap, but sometimes I wonder what the point is since I don't measure the amount of water I put in the bucket.

So, I guess I measure my soap but eyeball my water. :o
 
I recently figured out i was using waaaay to much soap. I had to do a wash with very little soap, and if you try you can really make a little go a long way.
