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?

Carpro Reload 2oz @ $2.12 /oz x 2 = $4.24

Carpro Ech2o 2oz @ $1.04 /oz x 2 = $2.08

28oz of distilled Water $.50 or less.

So for $6.82 you do the math and see which is the better deal.

The Carpro products are shelf stable from my experience. Been doing this for 3-4 years now and no issues .

Usually make about 2 batches/year depending on my usage. I use the detailer whenever I take the car out for a Cars & Coffee or club events which are often through out the year. 1 16oz bottle of something @ 25.00 gets expensive.

Not to mention the Carpro Elixir works extremely well.
