Full Description

Alchemy Whitewash is a pH neutral snow foam.

Whitewash uses hydro-cling technology to safely remove dirt and debris from your car's surface.

The thick foam encapsulates the dirt, all you then do is rinse and watch the dirt wash away.

The chemists at Alchemy developed this snow foam to take away all the grime that gets thrown at your vehicle whilst being gentle on wax and sealants.

Whitewash is a concentrated formula; for tough, stubborn dirt, use a ratio of 1:5 through to 1:25 for a pre shampoo. For really stubborn areas, Whitewash can be used neat.

Expert Notes

Alchemy Whitewash is a pH neutral snow foam for the pre-wash stage, used through a foam lance on a pressure washer. Its hydro-cling technology is there to remove dirt and debris, and the thick foam encapsulates dirt so it rinses away before a wash mitt touches the paint, and Alchemy developed it to be gentle on wax and sealants. As a concentrated formula it takes an inch of product in the lance bottle topped up with water, 1:5 to 1:25 as a pre shampoo on stubborn dirt, or neat on really stubborn areas. It suits regular maintenance washing of protected cars. Follow it with a two bucket wash using a pH neutral shampoo, a microfibre wash pad or mitt and a plush drying towel. This is the 1L bottle.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Whole vehicle exterior
  • Painted bodywork
  • Waxed paintwork
  • Sealant protected paint
  • Lower doors and sills
  • Wheels and arches
  • Cars and vans

Caution: Do not let the foam dry on the vehicle, so avoid hot panels and direct sunlight. Snow foam is a pre-wash, so follow it with a contact wash.

How To Use

Application

  1. Fit a foam lance to your pressure washer, as the directions state.
  2. Add an inch of Whitewash to the lance bottle and top it up with water.
  3. For tough, stubborn dirt, mix Whitewash at 1:5 to 1:25 as a pre shampoo, or use it neat on really stubborn areas.
  4. Starting from the roof, cover the whole vehicle in a layer of foam.
  5. Leave it to dwell for a few minutes, without letting it dry.
  6. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly from the top down to remove the foam and dirt.

Aftercare

  1. Follow with a two bucket contact wash using a pH neutral shampoo.
  2. Dry the vehicle with a clean, plush microfibre drying towel.
  3. Flush the foam lance through with clean water after use.
  4. Store the bottle sealed, upright and away from frost and direct heat.
  5. Keep the concentrate out of reach of children and pets.

  5. Give very dirty wheels and arches a pre-rinse before foaming.
  6. Avoid foaming hot panels or working in direct sunlight.
  7. Keep the pressure washer nozzle a sensible distance from 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.
