What are your favorite home-brew mixes?

I know a lot of people mix or dilute products, and I thought we could start a thread on what people are using and why. I'll start:



1:10 KAIO/distilled water. This is a decent paint cleaner for use when the car may be slightly dusty at worst. Not much lubrication, but works well on water spots, glass, etc. I also sometimes use it to help remove Klasse HGSG residues (you know how bad that can be).



1:3 303 Protectant/distilled water. This just thins it down to give no detectable gloss for interior work.



1:1 303 Protectant/Lexol Leather Conditioner. Thins down the Lexol so I don't get any tackiness, which was always a problem for me no matter how much I buffed. Darkens the color slightly and adds no detectable gloss. My goal was to add UV protection to the good conditioning of Lexol and this should do that.
 
i mix 70% fc&s with 30% s&g it cleans and tops up the shine. gonna try s&w and s&g when i run out of fc&s, i've heard good things about this combo.
 
Paste Wax and Polycharger. Place some Paste wax in a cheap pan melt in down real slow. As soon as it melt add polycharger poor into empty wax container, let it cool down. Place in fridge if needed. Then use to wax car.

Three parts Kentucky Whiskey to one part water. OH! For the car, sorry!

I really like Johnnie Walker neat. Too bad it costs more than any detailing product I use.



Nothing but the common mixes for me; ONR QD, 6:1 water:Woolite. At one time people were mixing OCW 50/50 with CJ to reduce streaking. I'm not sure I saw any difference compared to just using CJ. Now I understand they reformulated the OCW.

Which waxes have you tried this with? and what kind of longevity results are you noticing?
