Hi guys. I am making dilutions of APC+. I want to double check with you for help with the ratios so I don`t mess them up. I don`t trust my math!



I have 24 oz. bottles. How much water and how much solution do I need for the 24 oz. bottles to make ratios of the following:



4:1



5:1



9:1



12:1



20:1



64:1



Also, if you use APC+ and have other ratios that aren`t listed here; what do you use and for what purpose?



I was going to use the 5:1 as a wheel cleaner. Is this ok?



Thanks for the help! :xyxthumbs

4:1 19.2 to 4.8



5:1 20 to 4



9:1 21.6 to 2.4



12:1 22.15 to 1.85



20:1 22.85 to 1.15



64:1 23.63 to 0.37



It`s simple to work out, 4:1 is 4 parts water to 1 part APC+, total 5 parts. Divide 24 by 5 gives you 1 part, then multiply that figure by 4 to give you 4 parts :xyxthumbs

Spilchy, I`ve been running APC+ at 3:1 for wheels (dirty) and it seems to be acceptable.

Thanks fellas! Much appreciated.



I have the wheel cleaner set for 5:1 and for light jobs, 9:1.



Since it said 4:1 for tires, I figured 5:1 was good for wheels.



Thanks again:xyxthumbs
