Can Protectant Plus be diluted? Reason I ask is because in a spray bottle it is very thick and does not come out too great so I end up throwing a little water in it to thin it out. Not much but just a tad. Will this be ok or no? So far I have not ever had any problems but just want to double check. I keep meaning to come on here to ask this question but forget until now while I was searching the site.
Thanks for any info!

I don't have a technical answer for you, but I don't dilute it. I would not want to diminish the UV protection or conditioning effects. My recommendation is to drop the sprayer for a squeeze or pump type container.

Thanks for the info! I will have to find another sprayer then. Any idea which one to get? I still need to buy one of those Wagner sprayers at Lowes for about $70 I think they are going for. Maybe even more now (heck everything seems to be going up in value lately).

Are you using it on the tires or something? You will us a whole lot less by putting it on the interior surfaces with an applicator instead of spraying and you can just use a squeeze bottle with a flip top or something. I have a Wagner, but it isn't good enuff to shoot the interior w/o getting it all over the glass. Just my opinion, hope this helps.

I use it for interior only and some exterior trim but mostly interior. For the tires and engine I use the tire gel. :thumbsupup[1]:

Yes I stay up until 4 or so every night and get up around 8 to 11. All depends but I can never sleep much at night.
