Preludio Dilutions

[Setec Astronomy]

I think I brought this up in another thread, the dilutions printed on the bottles are 1:5 and 1:10, I see some of the places that are selling this are saying also 1:15 or 1:20.

I'd kind of like to use it in a more traditional rinseless prespray dilution of say, 1:128 (I haven't used either my Alkaline or Acidic yet). What are you guys doing?

Perludio Acidic 1:5 - 1:10
Perludio Alkiline 1:5, 1:10 or 1:15

I normally just use them at 1:10

Have you watched Reggy"s video on them

I don't think I saw that video, but Labo had another similar video. I just can't bring myself to use it at such a low dilution rate, partly because of the cost, and partly because going around the car with a trigger sprayer just seems so inefficient.

I mean, if you are doing a conventional wash, many people foam the car up with a foam gun or cannon before doing a contact wash.

Many people will prespray their car with rinseless at normal or double concentration (1:128 for most of them, as noted above), before doing the contact wash.

But the "Labo" suggestion upends that process. I'm saying I'd like to use Preludio at a higher dilution than Labo recommends, and just use it like a regular prespray like you would normally do for a rinseless wash, and wondered if anybody else had tried that or if I'm going to be the guinea pig.

More chances than not you can get away with using less product than the manufacturer recommends.
Also, most manufacturers have very little hands on experience even with their own products, so their recommendations are not always the best.

So what do I do??
I just eyeball it. Play with the mixtures until you find what works best for you
