any one got some good mixes?
I`m just using a bit of quality car wash + 1 drop of scratch remover + a tiny bit of liquid wax. with distilled water at the moment premixed. Used to use some meguires quik detailer before.
But I`m wondering if anyone has their own magic mix that can subsitute for your average quick detailing spray.

scratch remover is the last thing you should be putting into a detail spray
just get some ONR

Well, I don`t know if ONE drop will do any harm if its diluted with a full sprayer of water? I`ve heard people diluting kAIO in this manner as well. I`ve never tried it, and agree its easier just to buy a QD off the market. Me being the furthest thing from a chemist, I`d leave the mixing up to the mixers :)

What are you trying to accomplish? I like straight AquaWax.

AW is a spray sealant not a QD

maybe not but why would you want to add adbrasives to a QD?

Get some ready made, you`ll be glad you did.
Buy in bulk. A gallon is not that expensive. I just got some FK425...

Try not to use AW more than once a month and don`t over apply. More than monthly applications can cause color muting, happened to my flake.

Haven`t experienced that yet, but thanks for the heads up. I do have metallic flakes in my paint, so I`ll definitely keep that in mind.

I`m not a big QD person (besides using it to boost shine), but if the reason for making up some DIY QD is due to costs, I don`t think anything beats ONR in QD dilution. Works well enough for me as far as cleaning goes.
I`m trying a mixture of 50% UQD and 50% DG FC&S
