1. What is Dilution Ratio?

Dilution ratio represents the proportion of product to water in a mixture. It's commonly used in car detailing to ensure proper concentration of cleaning products for optimal performance and safety.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the dilution ratio formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Product} \) — Number of product parts
• \( \text{Water} \) — Number of water parts

Explanation: The ratio indicates how many parts of water should be mixed with each part of product to achieve the desired concentration.

3. Importance of Proper Dilution

Details: Correct dilution ensures product effectiveness, prevents surface damage, and maximizes cost efficiency by avoiding overuse of concentrated products.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the number of product parts and water parts. Both values must be positive numbers greater than zero.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is proper dilution important in car detailing?
A: Proper dilution ensures optimal cleaning performance, prevents surface damage, and makes products more cost-effective.

Q2: What happens if I use too much product?
A: Over-concentration can leave residue, cause streaking, damage surfaces, and waste product.

Q3: What happens if I use too little product?
A: Under-concentration may result in poor cleaning performance and inadequate protection.

Q4: Are dilution ratios the same for all products?
A: No, different products have different recommended dilution ratios. Always check manufacturer instructions.

Q5: How do I measure parts accurately?
A: Use measuring cups, graduated containers, or dilution bottles with marked measurements for precision.
