For first wash, how much Dawn to how much water

I'm getting ready to Zaino my car and it recommends washing with Dawn. How much Dawn to how much water should I use?

Dawn

A couple oz in a 5 gallon pail should be enough. Just grt some good suds on the the car and wash away..... Be sure to follow with a polymer, wax, or acrylic sealant...I would add one more step before the sealant and use some type of pre-cleaner.

apparently you aren't familiar with Zaino

a gallon pail extra sudsy is enough for me, remember you are removing any prior wax from the paint so you want it to be on the heavy side rather than light

I ended up using 2 ozs of Dawn in a two gallon bucket of warm water.
