QEW mixed in bottle, used like S&W?

I keep a sprayer bottle full of pre-mixed QEW which I use for a pre-soak or a pre-wash. I would not use it in place of S&W though. S&W is noticeably a better lubricant. Without the additional water from the QEW recommended instructions, I'm too leery of scratching my car. If you mix up some and spray it, you'll see how thin it is.

FWIW
 
I use QEW mixed 5:1 with water as a clay lube, and I tried it as a spray and wipe product once in the middle of a Maine winter on a beater car. Big mistake. It took SSR3 to get the damage out. Pretty good lube though, on a clean surface.
 
QEW is a great product, but it's not made to be used as a spray/wash. I personally spray some diluted QEW on the surface prior to using QEW in the bucket just to get the dirt loosened a bit, but that's it. When i'm finished washing, I follow up with a light mist of S&W and the car is clean.
