Before I get to my question, I`d like to share what I bought and the links for them. I think we all can benefit from some of these items. Its been mentioned on Autopia before, but if you need ANYTHING plastic check out US Plastics. They`re great - cheap prices, quality products and fast, reasonable shipping.



I placed an order and received:



1) new 8oz clay storage containers: LINK (http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=USPlastic&category%5Fname=3&product%5Fid=182)



2) smaller 24oz. spray bottles for mixing solutions (I`m tired of the large ZEP bottles): LINK (http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=USPlastic&category%5Fname=14954&product%5Fid=14812)



3) 8oz bottles to transfer polishes and other products into: LINK (http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=USPlastic&category%5Fname=14952&product%5Fid=15129)



Now, if I go on a detail or bring up my products from the basement to my driveway, I can carry a larger sampling that takes up a small space in my carrying bucket compared to lugging all the original bottles.



The spray bottles have dillution ratios on there, but I need some more. Now, regarding my question.



In a 24oz bottle what would be (water : product) 4:1, 6:1, and 8:1? Those are common dillutions I use and of course the bottles have all the other ratios on them!



I want to make sure my fuzzy math is right, so I figured I`d ask you guys before mixing up solutions. :o



Thanks for your help and I hope you found a couple of tips. :bigups

4:1 = 19 : 4.75 = 23.75 ounces in the bottle



6:1 = 19.5 : 3.25 = 22.75 ounces in the bottle



8:1 = 20 : 2.5 = 22.5 ounces in the bottle

Dilution Ratio 1:1 = 128 oz./gal





If you want 24 oz. bottles then



6oz. conc. diluted to 24oz. total= 4:1

4oz. conc. diluted to 24oz. total= 6:1

3oz. conc. diluted to 24oz. total= 8:1

Those sprayers are dynamite and those 8oz plastic bottles work excellent (from personal experience).

Interesting, you say 6oz. for 4:1 and Neothin says 4.75oz for 4:1.



This is why I asked! LOL



Sean, I still have the PowerGloss you sent me in the same style bottle :)

Spilchy, I rechecked my math and Neo is correct. I didn`t take into account the total volume.:o My misleading post is now deleted and sorry for the confusion.

I had to prove to myself that I could still do the math... :p



To exactly make 24 total ounces of solution:



4:1 would require 4.8 oz. of conc.

6:1 would require 3.4 oz. of conc.

8:1 would require 2.7 oz. of conc.



Al--those are some very useful charts, thanks for the links.
