I was a little apprehensive about this product, but upon reading that a 32oz bottle will make an entire gallon once diluted, I had to give it a try!

At Pacific Auto Detailing I mostly use it as a clay lube, and it works AMAZING. I used it as a pad conditioner once while polishing -- and it didn't really work so well for that, just a heads up.

I also use it on my car when it gets a light dusting on it, and it really brings out the gloss in the wax once it's buffed off. If you try to use in the direct sunlight it will streak a bit if you don't get it off right away -- I recommend using the plushest MF towel you can while using it (PM me if you need help finding/purchasing)


All in all, I'd give this product a 9 out of 10. It really works well, only has a few drawbacks (can't be used a pad conditioner)


Recommended dilution ratios.
3:1 Everyday quickdetailer
2:1 or 2.5:1 Clay lube
