    Does total need to be diluted when using on coated leather, and if so at what ratio?

    The ready to use version (which is what I think you have) doesn`t need to be diluted. I use it straight. If you have the concentrate, I used to do 10:1

    Went to order some HD Total today and saw that is gone. Came to this thread and saw it is 5 months old. I guess Total is gone for good. What alternatives to do you recommend? It would seem a bit weird to use the waterless car wash on the interior. Looks like maybe HD Free would work...how does it compare?

    Just use Orange degreaser diluted 10:1. It works the same.

    It might work the same for cleaning but doesn`t total have some dressing/shine in it too?

    I`ve never noticed any. It just leaves the surface clean. FREE has some shine to it though.

    From what I`ve seen on this forum, Total will be back. Also, I just received an order from 3D and they included a new catalog. It has Total in it. It says there will be a 16oz RTU and 1 gallon concentrate. It is a new catalog as it has HD cut in it. I would say that is pretty strong evidence that Total will be back relatively soon.

    Thanks David. I`m assuming that was used neat and not diluted?

    Back then TOTAL was sold in 2 ounce bottles that made 24 onces of product. The version being relaunched will be sold in gallons that can also be diluted up to I believe 5 to 1.

    Oh I see. I honestly thought the little bottles were just samples. I`ll keep an eye out for the new formula.

    Will the 1 gallon concentrate be ready before 2013?
