Carpro Merlins Mixture there are a lot of results, people commenting on multiple combinations.

2oz Reload / 2oz Ech20 / 28oz Distilled Water.
Carpro reload: $35.99

Carpro Ech20: $17.59

vs

Adams Graphene CS3: $24.99/16oz

So, a bottle of detail spray costs half as much? And then factor in usage rate and shelf sitting time. How long are you expecting your carpro home mix to sit around for? Let's say Adam's bottle has enough to last a year of usage. I can just buy a second bottle for a second year and we're at cost equilibrium. Is Reload good to sit around for years and years and years? Are you REALLY coming out on top with the home brew?
