    I did have one actually. It was delish for a cheaper cigar. It looked a little weird wince the foot wasn't trimmed. The wrapper was just folded/pinched at the foot. I had to buy it from the local tobacco shop for 4.59. I've had a couple other AF's and liked them both. May pick up a fiver. What do you think about the 8-5-8?

    Recommended dilutions seem to be a starting point for soaps.

    Optimum is rated at 1 oz / gallon but is good at 1 oz / 2 gallons.

    sounds about right for Optimum. I will use 2-3 squirts from a gallon pump dispenser in my wash bucket. I probably have 4 gallons of water in there.

    Good point, and I don't like to make shampoos weaker than what directions state. BUT, I contacted Optimum directly because their website and other websites say you can use less than half an ounce of Opt Car Wash per gallon, despite what the label says. Ghodoussi (sp?) himself responded, stating that ever since the new formula was released in 2006, it is a label misprint that seems to still be going on.

    He assured me that the proper dilution ratio is 0.3 to 0.5 ounce per gallon of water which makes it about on par with Adam's Car Shampoo (I use 1-2 ounces for 3 gallons).
