    Recently got myself some Autobrite products and got really confused about the dilution rates.
    This video really sums it up super easily, thanks a lot!

    So so easy. OMG. Instead of making a whole bottle when i only need, say 200, 267 or 313 ml i can mix it perfectly everytime. Thank you. I am sharing the hell out of this video.

      Thanks, I'm happy it helped. I'm the opposite, I'm terrible at Maths, but good with logical things!
      It's so simple once you realise how to work them out. I think the part most struggle with is that you have to add all of the parts up first tow give you the total number of parts to divide by.

    I bought a fabric cleaner and says 20:1 for general purpose or 8:1 for heavy-duty cleaning. I'm so confused! Says I need to mix it in a spray bottle, but don't want to mess it up lol plz help!

    • @MySupercarLife
      @MySupercarLife  3 роки тому +1

      Just add the parts together and divide the total amount you want to make by it.
      If you want to make roughly 500ml for example:
      20:1 = 500/21 = 24ml per part.
      So 24ml of cleaner to 480ml of water (rounding up)
      8:1 = 500/9 = 55ml per part
      Again 55ml of cleaner to 440ml of water.

    On my product rinse wax says to dilute 1.20-1:25 so I have bottle of one litter. what would be the formula for dilution. Thanks

  • @jrmy198523
    @jrmy198523 4 роки тому +1

    I think the real confusion comes from the difference between dilution ratio and dilution factor which is two different things. Make sure the bottle gives a dilution ratio before following the advice of this video. A dilution factor would be, for example using 1:10, one part solute to 9 parts solvent for a total of 10 parts.

    Does it matter if you use water out of the faucet / tap or should you use distilled water ?

    • @MySupercarLife
      @MySupercarLife  2 роки тому

      Distilled doesn't contain imperfections that tap water can. Also tap water doesn't stay as fresh so it will degrade the quality of the product. I would definitely use distilled

  • @jimc12
    @jimc12 4 роки тому +1

    So is the measurement always in the amount measured with the concentate. Like you have a 100ml bottle of concentrate and its a 1:6 ratio. You need to mix with 5L of water? Do i need to convert the liters into ml?

    • @MySupercarLife
      @MySupercarLife  4 роки тому +2

      The 2 measurements always need to be the same - whether it's ml, Litres, Gallons, Fl. oz or whatever else.
      If you have a 1:6 with 100ml concentrate then you need 600ml of water (1 part to 6 parts) and you will end up with 700ml of product.
      Hope this helps

  • @nicoleweller9364
    @nicoleweller9364 5 років тому +1

    Thanks for this, honestly I was worried. I am very bad at math but the job I want requires understanding ratio on large bottles. If only they'd just write ml's lol. With the 900ml bottle is that just standard what you should mix it in?

    • @MySupercarLife
      @MySupercarLife  5 років тому +1

      Thanks, I tried to make it as simple as possible LOL. I think most spray bottles are around the 900ml mark, it's probably 935ml or something, but it's easier to round it down to a whole number. Hope this helps :)

    • @MySupercarLife

      Thats quite straightforward in standard quantities
      20ml of cleaner to 50ml of water
      40ml of cleaner to 100ml etc.

    I must be really thick, I'm still bamboozled. Bought some Optimum No Rinse from the US. The bottle says 1 OZ (product) : 2 Gallons (Water). Does anyone know the UK equivalent dilution ratio? I made it 250:1 but I'm not sure?!

    • @MySupercarLife
      @MySupercarLife  5 місяців тому +1

      2 gallons is 7.57 litres
      1 US floz is 29.5ml
      So if you have a 7 litre bucket you'd add about 30ml of Optimum.
      Most detailing buckets are 20 litres so if you 3/4 fill it then add 60ml of product you should be fine.
      You don't really need the ratio as you have the actual amounts of products, you just need to convert it to a measurement you're used to, in this case Millilitres and Litres.
      Hope this helps

    But who says "1" is 150ml and not an ounce?

    • @MySupercarLife
      @MySupercarLife  3 роки тому

      Because the amount of product we are making is 900ml so "1" has to be 150ml - 5:1 = 900ml /6 = 150ml per part.
      If you want to know it in ounces you have to know the volume of the container in ounces, then do the math explained in the video. I'm in the UK and we don't use ounces.
