Expert Notes

Alchemy Supreme is a strong, acid free wheel cleaner for the first stage of a wash, before any tool touches the paint. It is a concentrated formula: use it neat for heavy soiling or dilute 1:5 to 1:10 with water for light soiling, spray it on, leave it to dwell for 1 minute and rinse with clean water. Alchemy says it takes only a minute to dissolve brake dust and grime, and states it is safe on rubber, plastic, aluminium, chrome and enamelled rims. It suits regular maintenance cleaning of everyday wheels. Pair it with a scratch free wheel brush for stubborn areas, a dedicated wheel bucket and a tyre dressing to finish. This is the 500ml bottle.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Aluminium wheels
  • Chrome wheels
  • Enamelled rims
  • Plastic wheel trims
  • Tyre rubber around the rim
  • Wheels with brake dust build up
  • Wheel faces and barrels

Caution: Alchemy lists rubber, plastic, aluminium, chrome and enamelled rims, so test first on any other finish. Never spray onto hot wheels or let it dry.

How To Use

Application

  1. Make sure the wheels are cool to the touch before you start.
  2. Use Supreme neat for heavy soiling, or dilute 1:5 to 1:10 with water for light soiling.
  3. Spray it over the whole wheel, working one wheel at a time.
  4. Leave it to dwell for 1 minute, without letting it dry.
  5. Agitate tough, stubborn areas with a scratch free wheel brush.
  6. Rinse the wheel thoroughly with clean water.

Aftercare

  1. Dry the wheels with a microfibre towel kept for wheels only.
  2. Dress the tyres once the rubber is clean and fully dry.
  3. Rinse wheel brushes after use and keep them apart from paint tools.
  4. Keep any diluted mix in a clearly labelled spray bottle.
  5. Store the bottle sealed, upright and away from frost and direct heat.

Top Tip: Clean the wheels before the paintwork so wheel cleaner and brake dust splashes are rinsed off during the main wash.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Alchemy Supreme acid free?

Yes, Alchemy Supreme is a strong, acid free wheel cleaner.

Which wheels can I use it on?

Alchemy states Supreme is safe to use on rubber, plastic, aluminium, chrome and enamelled rims. For any other finish, test it on a small hidden area first.

Should I dilute it?

It depends on how dirty the wheels are: Alchemy recommends 1:5 to 1:10 with water for light soiling and neat use for heavy soiling.

Leave Supreme to dwell for 1 minute, then rinse it off with clean water, as Alchemy directs. Do not let it dry on the wheel.

Not always, as Alchemy says Supreme only takes a minute to dissolve brake dust and grime. For tough, stubborn areas, Alchemy suggests using it alongside a scratch free wheel brush.

The Brand

Alchemy

Alchemy Car Care was developed from what the company describes as years of grassroots detailing experience. Rather than building the range around a catalogue of existing products, Alchemy says its formulas were repeatedly developed, tested, adjusted and tested again before release. Testing was carried out across different vehicles, paint types and paint colours, with the aim of producing products that worked in the way the people behind the brand wanted to use them themselves.

That practical approach is still reflected in the range. Products are generally straightforward in purpose, with clear applications rather than unnecessary overlap between multiple versions of the same chemical.

A Range That Covers the Detailing Process

A Range That Covers the Detailing Process

Alchemy has built a broad car care range covering pre-washing, contact washing, chemical decontamination, paint preparation, polishing, protection, interior cleaning, wheels and tyres. Grime provides the citrus pre-wash stage, Whitewash covers snow foam, Dirty Harry handles contact washing, while Chemical X and Diss-olve tackle iron contamination and tar. Further through the process, One Hit provides single-stage paint correction, with products such as Shell Suit, Duck Tail and Suga Coat covering different methods of adding protection and finishing the vehicle.

The range extends beyond liquids into clay, applicators, microfibres, brushes, buckets and other detailing accessories, allowing Alchemy products to be used through much of a complete exterior and interior detailing process.

Practical Chemistry With Useful Dilution

Practical Chemistry With Useful Dilution

A notable part of Alchemy's cleaning range is its use of concentrated products rather than relying solely on ready-to-use formulas. Grime Citrus Pre-Wash, for example, can be adjusted from around 10:1 for heavier contamination through to 100:1 for lighter cleaning, while also having applications beyond exterior pre-washing. Whitewash Snow Foam and Dirty Harry Shampoo are also sold as concentrated products, allowing the user to alter product strength or quantity according to the level of contamination and the job being carried out.

Alchemy is based in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, and its range is also distributed to the detailing trade through Linntec. This places it firmly within the UK detailing market, with products covering enthusiast maintenance as well as the larger sizes and concentrated chemicals useful to regular and professional users.
