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.

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.

  4. Rinse from the top down so dirty water runs off the car.
  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.

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.
