Title: How to thin Vallejo Vehicle Wash?

I really like this black wash from Vallejo, but it is REALLY dark. Some things I would like to do a lighter version of it. I have individually mixed it with water for figures, but wanted to pre-mix a batch of it. Should I be mixing it with water, distilled water, acrylic matte medium, or something else?

Anyone know? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I would go with water or airbrush thinner at about 50%, and a few drops of flow aid.  I do that when I use the  game colour black wash (which is also too strong).
