excuse me if this is just a stupid idea, but:





so i was reorganizing today since i got a new shelf in. (more products, more space) well i found an empty bottle of aqua wax, lucas gloss enhancer on it's way out...some almost empty uqd, etc. etc.



well i am thinking about taking a small bottle and just throwing all my almost empty and bottom of the bottle spray waxes, quick detailers, etc. into it and see what i come up with :grinno:. funny idea and im sure someone has done it already. so what did you guys come up with and how were the results?



i mean cmon, we all hate throwing products away, even if there is only a tiny bit left :p
 
I mixed some really old and watery TW clear coat cleaner with some dried out 3m rubbing compound and surprisingly the result worked better than either one new. Faster cutting and it finished off better.
 
i had some AW (few ounces left), and emptied it into a bottle of fx spray wax that was about half full and it worked pretty well...
 
Ive mixed my own waxes all the time from others.



The best mix so far is 2 parts Nattys blue to 1 part Megs #16 to 1 part PS. Lasts long and gives a deep shimmer
 
I had about a 1/4 bottle each of dgps and 4* upp. Mixed them together and it works great. Still easy on, easy off, looks great, and durability seems fine. Just have to shake real well before using.
 
I wouldn't recommend it but you can always try.



I'll keep to mixing detailing products to the likes of mixing different alcohols, not something I personally would do.
 
I cooked up some XMT180 and FK Pink Wax just for sh!ts and giggles, (I felt like I was cooking up crack), but I spilled the damn thing when it was still hot all over my sock and garage floor.



I've also mixed some AW and some Sonus QD I wasn't wild about, I guess you could do it, it still didn't perform as well as some of my favorite QDs.
 
Don't go mixing things, certain members won't consider you a "professional" if you stray outside of the manufacturer's directions. :scared:

I hear what you are saying, but it is funny alot of us top guys that do this, all do the samething and dont mix stuff around and work that given polish to its fullest then there is the rest that want to mix stuff and skip steps. So with that being said I feel there is a certain way to really get the best out a finish, so that says something about who really has the skill and doesn't, and when people that really know what they are talking about are criticized for being haters or not being nice is because like they say the truth hurts.

What you are IMPLYING (your words) is that if you have to mix things you are taking short cuts. Later you go on to say that 'the big dogs', naming RickRack, RyDog, gmblack3a as 'big dogs' (which they are) as not needing to be improvisational.
 
You still are not proving your point, once again name calling. You were owned on DB and there was no back peddeling and if you read the pm's I got from Nica you would have your tail between your legs. It just seems like you were the guy in high school that bullied around and no have to go around and call people names. Have fun over here being the little sissy boy you are with your name calling. I proved my point on DB and thats all there is too it, now you want to carry this on because I irked you anbd owned you on DB. You can not let it go, so who really got the better of who on there, just drop it like an adult and move on in life. It is sad to see that I bother you so much in your life that you are taking time out of your day to try and bash me on another forum. You are just showing members in here that you still have a childish mentallity. I hope someday you grow up and not let little things like this bother you or you will stress yourself to the point where it will affect your health.
 
I mix FK-425 and AW and it's awesome. I've given a couple of samples to my friends who use otc products and they loved it.
 
I have mixed stuff before and had pretty good results. I actually liked the mix better then the products in the mix

So far, I agree. I also mix 303 & Meguiar's #40 (I now call 343 :nervous:) and it's the perfect sheen, protection and smell for my vehicles. I still need to try FK 108 and see if I can incorporate it into a mix.

Do you have any empirical data to support this claim? What do you conclude from this?
