You could mix even more water with it, try a bit out on the wall and see what you think, I used to mix it about 3 or 4 to 1, it really depends how bad it is.

1L - 1L its a 50% 50% mix.

no, cemento cola is not cola blanca, cola blanca, or "pva solution" is like white glue. used for sealing walls floors pre painting etc.
