So maybe I am not looking to "dilute" the product but I kind of am. I got a interior detailer and my car is new and I don't think I need to use it at full strength so I poured 24oz of it into a 32oz bottle and filled the other 8oz with distilled water. So since I am technically adding more product then water is the ratio 1:2 since it is one part water to two parts product? Generally you only see dilutions with the higher number first. Basically I am making more product that is a little bit less strong but still stronger than a 1:1.
 
An interior detailer like Meg's QID or 1Z Cockpit Premium? Those are pretty mild to begin with I don't know why you would feel the need to dilute them. Also 24 oz + 8 oz is 3:1 not 2:1 as you stated.

Well technically would the ratio be 1:3 since the first number is always water?
 
Actually, when referring to ratios, the greater number (or volume) is stated first. I.e. 3:1, 10:1, etc...
 
The ration of 3 parts cleaner and 1 part water is essential just making the product stronger than a 1:1 but not as strong as a full strength that's what I am looking to do. I am looking to make it last slightly longer and give it less of a bite.
 
I see that. While that is not technically correct, they may do that for the reader to more easily understand, as it can be confusing.

But, what you are doing will work fine. Numbers be damned. Lol

So technically my formula is 3:1 being chemical: water.
