What water do you use to dillute chemicals?

I use distilled water for all my dilutions. Just makes sense, give the chemical a chance to work to its fullest.
 
Woa this thread was started 2007

I was 20 years old. Working at a bank doing check fraud.

Yeah who cares. Some members here need to relax they are not mods, (not naming anybody here) I have learned so so much in the little time i've been here. Searching is helpful but sometimes that person needs his/her specific question answered. If they do search a lot of times it might lead to a million more.

When I ask a question and it is answered. I then have a million more! Lol

I read the Meguiar's No. 7 then got confused if I should wax, then apply No. 7. I was told to do the reverse and why I should do the reverse. That alone was such a huge help.

That was just my point. No sense in starting a new thread and cluttering the forums when this one existed. I appreciate the answers I so far have gotten. -Ed
 
Distilled, I keep like 5 gallons in the shop just for mixing.
$1.00 a gallon = peace of mind.
 
I live out in the country so the waters quite good here.

  • Distilled water for glass cleaner
  • Tap for everything else
 
Distilled for most small-scale (up to one gallon) mixes. My well water is very soft so that is used for washing soaps and my steamer/ extractor.
 
I use distilled water. It just makes sense to me to use it.

Shouldn't matter if a thread is old or not, we are here to learn, right? We are supposed to do a search on topics before posting a question, and I found this one.

I read on another forum some people cut their Quick Detailer for claying 50/50. I just wanted to know if DI was better than Distilled. -Ed

All I did was state the thread was old. I didn't say it was wrong for him to bump, but starting a new thread would typically be better.

Your question was different than the thread's original question, so a new thread would have been perfectly acceptable, and we wouldn't be mixing new information with information from over 6 years ago.

At that point, between distilled and deionized water,
there will be zero difference in performance or any other aspect.

Roshan...

It won't be very long until you'll find out that modern Dental Offices use the:
"most purist of water" (Medical Grade)...garnered from the most modern of
steam-distillation technologies that includes:

Prolonged/(Even: Double)-boiling; and, phase-change steam separation processes.


I dare to say that:
Perhaps, then, your above viewpoint may undergo a change.

Im surprised with how obsessive some of you guys are that you dont put up the 80 cents for a bottle of distilled water. :P

Bob,

There is a big difference between the need of 100% pure water when comparing the performance of a car chemical and a solution that has a chance of entering someone's blood stream.

I agree that you need the absolute best when it comes to medical practice.

However, imo of course, I don't see any difference when it comes to performance, streaking, or otherwise anything noteworthy auto chemical related when deciding to use distilled or deionized.

The difference is so minimal that it doesn't change any noteworthy aspect --- auto chemical related.
 
Tap water straight from the hose! So if you get thirsty you just lean over and take a sip.
 
I only use distilled with Meg's Glass Cleaner concentrate.
