Default Meguiars APC+ dilution rate for carpet cleaner?

I have a Bissell upright carpet cleaner and was wanting to clean my house carpets and GF's car interior carpets with it. I was wanting to use Meguiars APC+ but I am not sure of how much to put in the solution container. I was thinking 2:1, since the machine already dilutes whatever is in the solution container before spraying it on the carpet. So to all the experts, what should I dilute the APC+ to clean the carpets? Thank you in advance for all advice!!!

Can you just pre treat it and extract with the upright?

I don't know about the dilution then. I would just mix up enough at 10:1 to do some test spots and then increase from there if it doesn't cut it.

If you have the gallon jug it says right on the back how to use it. I'm pretty sure the other jugs have it too so just follow the directions
