DP Four in One Life After Mixing?

One thing I was curious about with the Rinseless washes such as Four in One and ONR is how long they could be kept when mixed at a wash ratio.
I use Four in One by far the most, so that's the product I am most interested in.
If I mix up a gallon of water/Four in One and don't use it for a week or two, have I done any harm?
There are times when I have considered mixing up the wash solution a few days before I would use it to make better use of my time.
 
I would think there would be any harm, maybe shake it up to make sure nothing has settled, but this is just a guess..
 
I would think it would be fine if you shake it.
The major ingredient in a quick detailer is water and they always say shake before using that is to mix the chemical with the water.
When you buy a bottle of QD most of what you bought was just water.
 
I keep a 32 oz. spray bottle filled with a "strong" mix (1 oz. DP 4n1 to 31 oz. water). Sometimes the bottle will go untouched for weeks (maybe I'm grabbing PB's S&W :)) I've noticed no ill effects including product separation.
 
I use ONR as my clay lube and QD and even though the colour may fade on the mixture, they still smell and feel the same.
 
I do keep some ONR in a bucket every once in a while but the longest I have kept it was a week,the only change I noticed was the colour which was no longer blue,it turned transparent.
 
I have 4-1 mixed 3oz to 24oz of water been sitting since last Oct. 8 months it has not separated.
After reading what Mr Clean thinks is a Strong mixture I know why mine leaves the surface so slick. :rofl

I use 3 ounces of 4-1 in a 32oz bottle but only add 24 oz of water that way I have room left in the bottle to shake it good.
Even at this mixture it is far cheaper than any QD
I take a bottle to the show and keep at least one or more sitting around at home with the 4-1 mix

This year on my show car I'm going to use NXT 2.0 and UQD I like this combo on my Black car

The DG 105 has slightly more gloss and more durability but to me the NXT has a nice gloss with a little more depth than the 105.
