You can get away with a 5:1 dilution rate although the label told me that if a car is heavily soiled you can go 1:1.<\/p>\n<p>Trouble is, although that may well be so, it is a sure-fire way of burning through a bottle of product quickly and as I always like a bit of value for my money, I opted for a 3:1 mix.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0686-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-19131\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_0686-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I know people who rinse Cleanliness away completely before adding a shampoo or snow foam but the label recommends going straight over it once you\u2019ve allowed it to dwell and do its \u2018thang\u2019!<\/p>\n<p>At \u00a39.99 for a 1-litre my desire for\u00a0wringing the best value out of a product is pretty safe with Angelwax Cleanliness.
