Diluting products...how much and what use?

[djstretch]

I've seen several dilute products to save money or to prevent damage.
These are a few I have seen:

Simple Green 1:10 for engine and rims
BnB 1:1 for wheel wells
Woolite 1:6 for leather cleaner

What do you dilute and what do you use it for?
(1:10 is 1 part product to 10 part water)

I was hoping to compile a list for future reference.
Thanks

I already posted this somewhere else but got no responses, please share your knowledge

This is something that depends a lot on what you want to do with the product.

I personally don't believe in diluting a product to save money. My reasoning being that if the mfg. could have gotten the results with a diluted product, he would have diluted it when it was made.

The Woolite & water mix I picked up from another site, but several people here have questioned whether it is good for leather. Because of that, I hesitate to recommend it anymore.

Other product dilutions, I go by what the mfg. suggests. They know their product better than anyone else.

Actually, the only product I dilute, (other than the Woolite), is Meguiar's APC+ and I just follow Meg's recommendations. I think I would do the same with any product.
