Excuse me if this sounds a bit thick but here goes...

I've got Meguiars Hyperwash and it shows a dillution rate of 400:1. Using it with a Karcher jet wash and a snow foam lance, how do I know how much to use? Surely it depends on the flow of water through the lance? There are no markings on the lance and no settings on the jet wash, so how do I know how much to use. And do I put the wash in the lance neat?

Also any further advice would be appreciated. I'm going to use it on a car that is just a month old but pressume it won't remove the manufactures wax off? Also will I need to hand wash with shampoo or wax after the foam?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Although i havent used hyperwash through a lance I use about an inch of neat snow foam in the lance bottle then fill the rest with warm water, gives a good foam with the majority of foams that way,

You will have to hand wash it afterwords as snow foam removes a good portion of dirt but not all of it,

In regards to the wax it shouldnt strip the wax off, it might add its own protection on which can some times look like its stripped the wax but hyper wash is good stuff anyway

Thanks for that. I've been holding off doing it, but I'll give it a go now.

Polished Bliss have got a video on how to use Hyper Wash on their YouTube channel, might be worth a watch.
