i cant find the link to the article so i will have to write another one when i get time bud
in a nut shell my standard thinner for any acrylic paint is this
1 pint of water
1 pint of 50% rubbing alcohol
1-2 drops of dish washing liquid
now if you use the 90% rubbing alcohol you can use 2 pints of water
i use this same formula for everything from auto air /createx / humbrol acrylic/ testors / tamiya, all the way down to the cheap and cheerful apple barrel and plaid lines from wally world

So, what and how do you use the floor stuff?
Sorry for the confusion. I am remembering multiple things about paint and cannot find the links, so, I think I may be mixing things up a little bit.
I am hoping to put a matte finish on this.

if you are looking for matt then here is another little trick
future floor polish thinned about 50/50 with the aforementioned thinner and to dull it down a bit to a matt finish add some talcum powder (baby powder ) to the mix, hard to tell you how much but start small on some test plastic until you get the finished dullness you want then move to the kit
remember, its easy to add more, not so easy to take it away once done lol

Ok, I am reading this again and I need to ask some questions to confirm.
The water/alcohol/dish det. mixture is a mixture in itself, to be mixed in a container.
Once it is mixed, is it a 50/50 mix with the paint?
