How long...

After mixing, how long is Encap Punch prespray and rinse solution still good? What about DS and Hydrox?

ANY DETERGENT (all caps for a reason) will break down more quickly when they're exposed to oxygen. It's part of the biodegradation of the product. So if you want to store diluted products, keep them in a sealed container and they will last much longer (typically several days or longer).

P.S. To illustrate what I am saying. Mix up a sink of dish detergent. Notice how well it sudses. Leave it in the sink overnight and see how much less sudsing occurs the next morning.

I did a job with Encap punch in the hydroforce and also in the rinse Friday evening. I over-estimated how much I needed and have some left over in the Hydroforce as well as about 20 gallons in the rinse tank (I ended up doing more sqft with the Cimex and less with hwe than I had planned). Is it still good to use today, Monday?

Yes. It's absolutely fine.
