First let me say that I am a hard core C845 user applied every 6 months, and most of my clients go with me on that no questions asked ( they must think I know what I'm talking about hmm imagine that). Between those times I sometimes go to Megs Synthetic Spray Wax for a boost.
So keeping in mind Price and Durability is there another product better? Repeat consider price Megs is last check $30@gallon.
Thanks for your help.

Oh I'm sorry I'm easily confused at times your correct, I need to slow down at times.
 
Follow up: Has anyone tried Mckees as spray wax?

Not a problem, I think it would be a good buy for you. Ive used the rinse free wash and wax and its very good. Plus I own a gallon of pinnacle souvern spray wax that is fantastic. Reason I say that is the rinse free wash and wax looks and smells like souvern so I imagine if it was more diluted it would be similar if not the same.
 
Plus the Mckees wash and wax should have some good cleaning power when its that diluted. That could be a bonus. Havent tried the spray wax dilution myself cuz i only have a small bottle and i think it would be the same as souvern
 
So how do I mathematically figure out how many ounces 128 makes at approximately 2 ounces to make 32 ounces ofspray wax?

Since you are a die hard C845 user and are looking for a "topper" or "booster" spray wax to use over it, why not use the very best topper you can over C845 instead of experimenting with these other spray waxes that may or may not be compatible with this wax. What might that be you say? Well, C845 of course. I learned a trick here at the forum from "Bob". Put the bottle of 845 out in the sun or in a pan of warm water until it becomes liquid, as liquid and thin as possible and then shake it up real good. Put an ounce or two in a small mister bottle NOT a sprayer bottle as you will dispense too much product that way and it would not be cost effective. Also, you are assured of a very thin coat using a mister and that is important whenever 845 is used. Be sure your car is very clean, as is the case anytime you use a spray wax.

Once you are ready to go give each panel a squirt or two and spread and buff with a microfiber towel as you normally would with a quick detailer or conventional spray wax. By using 845 in a very liquid form this way you will be certain that your "topper" will be compatible with your lsp. And the shine it gives as it "boosts" the appearance of the original application is terrific and as good as you can get with virtually any other spray wax. Do this every month or two to prolong the protection and you can easily go a year between normal 845 applications. Try it and let us know what you think.

The simplest way to look at it: you have 128 oz and use a little of that for each bottle of mixture. Think of using a gallon a little at a time. You have 128 oz total product and need 2 oz per bottle so divide up the large amount by the amount you use each time. This gives you the number of times you can use it. 128 ÷ 2 = 64 bottles. If you can visualize how it gets used or applied that makes it easier to figure out what gets divided by what.

The longer way to look at it: 2 oz to make 32 of mixture means every oz of product makes 16 of mixture, since a ratio of 2:32 is the same as 1:16. If you have 128 oz of product, you get 128 x 16 oz of mixture, or a total of 2,048 oz mixture. Divide that by container size to get number of containers. For example, a gallon is 128 oz, so 2048 ÷ 128 = 16 gallons. If you have half gallon containers (64oz) 2048 ÷ 64 = 32, so you get 32 half gallon containers.

And so on... you can do the same for any size thing. The result a number of those things whether it be buckets, spray bottles, liquid container trucks, or whatever.
 
Good explanation, Rip.

I read DR's post and thought "16 gallons". But your post is better. ;)
 
Nice idea, but will this require melting the wax again each time?
