Answers, ratios and safety sheets.
Everything you need to use the chemistry properly - what to dilute it to, what it must never touch, and what to do if something goes wrong.
Every ratio, in millilitres.
Ratios are useless at the bucket. This is the same table in the units you actually measure - how much concentrate goes into 1, 5 and 10 litres of water.
| Ratio | Per 1 L | Per 5 L | Per 10 L | Typical job | Group | Never on |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:5 | 167 ml | 833 ml | 1667 ml | Wheel arches, heavy grease | Alkaline | bare or polished alloy |
| 1:10 | 91 ml | 455 ml | 909 ml | Engine bays, road film | Alkaline | bare aluminium; never let it dry |
| 1:20 | 48 ml | 238 ml | 476 ml | Insect film, general pre-wash | Alkaline | hot panels |
| 1:20 | 48 ml | 238 ml | 476 ml | Snow foam through a lance | Shampoo | mixing with another chemistry |
| 1:50 | 20 ml | 98 ml | 196 ml | Light pre-wash, maintenance | Alkaline | direct sun |
| 1:5 | 167 ml | 833 ml | 1667 ml | Fabric seats and carpet | Leather | saturating perforated leather |
| Ready | Ready | Ready | Ready | Ready to use - rim cleaner | Acid | a hot wheel, or unsealed alloy |
Ratios are concentrate-to-water. 1:10 means one part product to ten parts water - 91 ml into 909 ml, not 100 ml into 1 L. Always add chemical to water, never water to chemical, and check the product’s own data sheet before first use.
How far does a bottle go?
Pick the job and the size you buy. We work out how many cars it does and what each one costs you.
A 1 L pack at 1:10 makes 11 litres of working solution - about 22 engine bays at 0.5 L each. Prices are placeholders until launch.
