Bold N Bright Dilution?

[CharlesW]

This has been discussed before and I did a search and am still looking for some information.

1. Poorboy usually recommends 3 parts BnB to 1 part of water when he mentions dilution.

2. Several others mention a 50:50 mix.

3. I have always used it straight.

4. Obviously, it seems to work for all of us.

5. My use is on tires and I don't want a shiny look.
5a. I use it at every wash.
5b. I don't use any other tire cleaner. The BnB both cleans and dresses for me.
5c. I spray it on, brush it just as I would an APC, then wipe it off with an old terry towel.
5d. I don't let it dwell for more than a minute or two, just spray it, brush it, wipe it.

This system has worked for me for some time and I hesitate to start diluting the product and find I have changed the results and I am no longer happy with those results.

My main reason for even considering diluting the BnB is cost. I'm somewhat of a cheapskate and don't want to spend more than is necessary, but.....
I definitely want to spend whatever is necessary to get results.

Comments?

My wife calls me cheap ... I'm not cheap... just frugal
For me I use BnB straight on the tires and apply with a tire swipe, this way I don't have any over spray and I can "work" it into the tire.

I do dilute it 50/50 for my wheel wells, but that's all i'll use the diluted BnB on.

I've never tried diluting it Charles. Sorry I'm not much help on this one. I really like the results that I get, so I haven't tried experimenting.

Using it straight has worked so good for me that I guess I'll just forget about any dilution of the product.

If I hadn't read about it in some other posts, I would never have even considered it. Gotta quit reading so much.
