Mixing products together. What's your recipe?

I didn't have enough P21 Paintwork Cleanser left for my last project... so...

P21 Paintwork Cleanser / Distilled Water / IPA (50/45/5).

Works fantastic at removing polishing oils and leaving things surgically clean.

P21S Paintwork Cleanser is loaded with oils. Just look how the bottle separates. I don't think it leaves a surface surgically clean.

Probably not since it gets high marks for its filling capabilities.

I think you missed the point. Diluted to 50% with water and IPA.

What, then, was your point?

Perhaps:
Diluting (by 50%) an oily product with some Distilled Water, and a small amount of IPA...which probably has some water already in it...results in a non oily admixture?!?!<<<Nay, I say!

On the other hand; and IMHO:
I'll say that: swanicyouth's point was spot on!

I must admit, due to the short working time of Meguiar's M105 I have added a spray shot of baby or mineral oil to the mix in order to extend its usability.....

so u can add baby oil to the bottle of 105? A few drops or what?
 
I shot of Duragloss 105, 2 shots of Duragloss 951, 1 jigger of OCW, 3 shots of distilled water, 1 jigger of Klasse AIO, 2 jiggers Klasse SG, 4 shots Poorboy's Spray and Gloss, dash of paprika. Place in blender for 10 seconds. Pour over ice.

The mixture cleans up polishing oils left so that inspection can be done. It (P21 Paintwork Cleanser) does this full strength as well. The product is supposed to get your paint ready for wax, right. Everything sure " looks" clean to me. Perhaps surgically clean was not a good term. The point was that even at this diluted strength, with IPA, the results were great, to me. My experience level isn't to the point where I knew that what I perceived as "clean" was actually an oil-laden illusion. I appreciate the knowledge but not the sarcasm.

Nope...still does not make sense to mix IPA with something oily. You should be using products and techniques that allow you to continually work forward.

Getting "ready for wax" and "surgically clean" are two very different things.

Can you explain this Allen? Don't you want the surface free of oils and product in general before wax?

Good read, indeed. Thanks Bob. I guess polishing oils aren't evil after all, even those left by "cleanser" products. :props:
