Expert Notes

Alchemy Qube Lube is a 500ml spray lubricant made to be used with detailing clay. Clay should never be rubbed across dry paint, and a slick, pH balanced lubricant like this is what lets the bar glide and lift bonded contamination rather than drag. Alchemy describes it as incredibly slippy, says it helps reduce marring and scratching, and states it can be used across all paint and chrome without smearing or streaking. It is the natural partner to Alchemy's Qube Soft Clay Bar and suits anyone carrying out a clay decontamination at home or professionally. Pair it with a car shampoo beforehand, clean microfibre towels for wiping residue, and a wax, sealant or coating afterwards.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Painted body panels
  • Bonnet, roof and boot
  • Doors and wings
  • Painted bumpers
  • Chrome trim
  • Chrome bumpers
  • The clay bar itself

Caution: Clay only on a washed, cool surface and never let the lubricant dry under the clay, as clay on dry paint can cause marring.

How To Use

Application

  1. Wash the car thoroughly so only bonded contamination remains on the paint.
  2. Work on a cool panel out of direct sunlight, one small section at a time.
  3. Spray Qube Lube generously over the section and mist a little onto the clay.
  4. Glide the clay over the wet surface without pressing, letting the lubricant carry it.
  5. Re-spray whenever the surface starts to feel tacky or the clay begins to drag.
  6. Move on once the clay no longer grabs and the section feels smooth.

Aftercare

  1. Wipe each finished section with a clean, dry microfibre towel.
  2. Check the panel under good light for any lubricant left in panel gaps or on trim.
  3. Protect the decontaminated paint with a wax, sealant or coating.
  4. Close the bottle and store it upright, away from heat, frost and children.

Top Tip: Be generous with the lubricant, because a wet surface is what lets the clay glide without marring the paint.

Alchemy wash, decontamination and protection

Wash. Grime Citrus Pre-Wash dilutes 10:1 (water to Grime) for heavy dirt, 50:1 for medium and 100:1 for light, and can be sprayed or used through a foam lance; Alchemy says it is safe on wax and sealant. Whitewash Snow Foam is pH-neutral, at 5:1 water to foam for heavy cleaning. Dirty Harry is a pH-neutral, wax-friendly shampoo: one capful per litre of water, used on a cool panel out of direct sun. Dry with the Alchemy Dry towel, 90 x 75cm in a twisted loop pile, or wash with the microfibre wash pad.

Wheels and decontamination. Supreme Wheel Cleaner is acid-free: neat for heavy dirt or diluted 1:5 to 1:10 for light, left for one minute, then rinsed. Chemical X is a ready-to-use, pH-neutral gel that turns red as it reacts with iron fallout; apply to cool wheels and rinse within five minutes. Qube Soft Clay (100g) lifts overspray and tar for regular use, with Qube Lube as its pH-balanced lubricant.

Gloss and protection. Dark Matter and Light Matter are glazes matched to dark and light paint, hiding light blemishes by hand or machine. Supanova is a soft wax and oil blend for show gloss, Ceramic Wax is a hybrid paste wax that Alchemy rates at up to 12 months, and Duck Tail is a ceramic wet-coat spray, rated at up to four months. Suga Coat is a hydrophobic quick detailer for between washes.

Shop by type: citrus pre-wash, snow foam, wheel cleaners, glazes and car waxes.

Alchemy interior care, odour bombs and brushes

Alchemy interior care, odour bombs and brushes

Interior and glass. So Clean is an anti-static interior cleaner for plastics that leaves a matte finish and a fresh smell and helps stop new dust settling. Cosmos Glass Cleaner is a fast-evaporating blend of distilled solvents for grease, fingerprints and vape residue, and Alchemy says it is safe on acrylic, Plexiglas and tinted windows. For tyres, Soul Glo 2000 is a silicone oil gel: a few drops per tyre bring back the deep black.

Re-Fresh odour bombs. Each 150ml Re-Fresh can treats bacteria and odours through the whole cabin and the air conditioning, not just masking them: run the blower on high in recirculation, empty the can and leave the car unoccupied during the treatment. Scents: Watermelon, Bubblegum, Cherry Bomb, Linen, New Car and So Cool.

Brushes. The GLO Brush Set pairs a large 24cm and a small 16cm brush with super-soft, metal-free bristles for badges, screens, dashboards, vents and gauges; the handles glow in the dark after charging in daylight (also in green). The MultiBrush Pro has two weighted handles and five twist-on heads, and the boar's hair set gives five sizes for vents, door shuts, badges and wheels.

Shop by type: interior cleaners, odour and smoke eliminators and brush sets.
