Probably a stupid question, but what do you actually do with this stuff? I was in Aldi today and thought of buying some, but then it didn't say what ratio of the stuff to water you use. Help!

Well i have used it twice now and although it doesnt look much like shampoo it works great, just put 2 -3 capfulls in the bottom of a bucket and add water. i agree there are no guidelines so just trial and error reall, but leaves a wax on your car which shetts of the water on swilling off.

I know some people intend to use in their Karcher washers.

Just to clarify, for those who are unfamiliar with Aldi specials, when it says for one day only, it doesn't mean that the price is just for one day, it means that they get a stock of the items on one day only and when they're sold out, that's it, they're gone - they're not regular stocked items, they're one-offs.
