Everett has several dealers. In the Texas area, I think he is in some stores. Otherwise, a Google search may turn something up.

Why do you want this? The only reason why QS is concentrated is to save shipping weight.



Once you get it, it`s no different than any other QD in usage since you`re instructed to add X amount of water to it. It`s not "dilutable" if that`s what you want...

Find a water-based QD and add water to it. I`ve diluted Z-6 50:50 with distilled water and found it worked quite well for quick-detailing.

So, you want to dilute more than advised to get more QD for your money? Or, do you want to store it in a concentrate for so you only make what you need?

It was an "A or B" question. "Yes" doesn`t qualify as an answer. :)

I have been using Autoglym Super Sheen for quite some time now. It is a water based silicone emulsion. Primary use is a dressing/protectant for vinyl, rubber, and plastic. Autoglym also states it can also be diluted 1:9 with water for a spray QD. Look is very similar to Meg`s Final Inspection. A gallon of super sheen will set you back around $30 and when diluted 1:9, each gallon of QD costs a nice $3.33.



I wouldn`t post links to other vendors but since this product is not sold by Autopia...It is available from Radiant Auto Supply (direct Autoglym importer) based in TN. They are phone-order only: Phone # 615-341-0041. Also available online from www.detailingdepot.com and they are based in CA.

Ottoman, how does the Autoglym pro and bodyshop range compare the retail products, have you tried the machine polishes?

If you over dilute a QD, it won`t be as effective.
