As for mixing ratios for OID I mix 3to 1 as requested, but with distlled water. If you are a very hot climate, or working in the sun add 10% rubbing alcohol, makes the product less streaky on a hot car.
Do Lake Country or Meguiars pads work better? Heard the American Buffing pads are better suited.
