    I want to make my gallon of FK 425 last a little longer. Is it alright to make 1:1 ratio of FK 425 and distilled water. I couldn`t find any topics on diluting 425 with the search function. On another note I got a sample of FK 303 glaze. Can I apply the glaze under a layer of Collinite IW 845. And if I can, will it reduce the durability of the 845.

    I can`t answer for the dilution of 425 and whether or not it will affect its` effectiveness, but as for 303 glaze, this was my go to glaze for last season. I used it under everything- it was basically my finishing polish (has a little cut) and I would put a topper of either 2180 1000P or Pink Wax. Did I suffer some durability loss? Perhaps...but it did look extremely wet and deep, especially after 2-3 coats of PW and seemed to last me through 3 summer months with great beading and slickness with minimal maintenance (used 1016 wash & wax followed by 425 and some helper coats of PW every now and then)

    Personally I wouldnt recommend diluting FK425. If you want to save money and really like FK425 as I do, order by the gallon size. Putting a glaze typically reduces durability of waxes on top due to some bonding issues.
