New Lubricant

Found new lube guys. try nyo tire black...ung nilalagay sa gulong ng kotse and motor...just did it and ang ganda ng effect. try nyo.

yes sir... nakakatulong po... kaso it will eat plastic in the long run...

may nag list na ng mga lubricant na puwede pero may side effect...
alam nyo na siguro ang ilan... pero lista ko na din...

wd-40 and other multi-purpose lubricants... kumakain ng plastic pag nagtagal...

tire black... armor all... leather protect... mga pang shine at pang protect sa mga upholstery ng kotse... lumalagkit ang plastic pag palaging ginagamit... eh wala pang two days wala ng effect so maglalagay ka uli... yun ang masama...

pertroleum jelly... eto ang ginagamit noon... pero napatunayan na sumisira ng plastic...

SILICONE... naman...

SILICONE OIL... eto ang gamit na OFFICIAL lubricants... any brand na SILICONE OIL... da best...

CRC HEAVY DUTY SILICONE spray ang da best na gamitin.kung walang makitang OIL based... walang petroleum distilate... at napatunayan na matagal bago magwear-out at talagang napoprotect nya ang plastic...

locally available na SILICONE spray...

CYCLO... the best na mabibili sa pilipinas... meron me nagamit na iba... pero eto ang da best sa pilipinas... puwede din yung iba...

CYCLO... 3M silicone... mckenzie... at may dalawang pang iba ang tatak... ang problema... lahat sila may PETROLEUM DISTILATE... medyo bad pa rin sa plastic lalo na sa core...

solution is ... spray the cube... dami guide dito on how to lube the cube... sundin nyo lang po yun...

tapos kahit isang araw nyo na pinatuyo di pa rin tuyo at malagkit pa... un ang trace ng PETROLEUM DISTILATE... pinakamatagal na ang dalawang araw na kakalagay lang ng SILICONE SPRAY...

after that... buksan nyo na cube nyo at linisin ng clean cloth ang cube... tangalin ang mga traces na malalagkit sa cube... PETROLEUM po yun...

then gamitin nyo na uli yung cube nyo... once a month or twice is the best na maglube... pero linisin muna ang cube bago mag-apply uli ng SILICONE SPRAY...

sana nakatulong me sa inyo...

salamat po marami... hehehehhehe... LOL...

at kung may mali po akong nasabi... eh... walang pakialamanan... nauna na ako eh... gawa na lang kyo ng sa inyo... okay... hehehehehhehehehehehehe... LOL...

Tire Black? Yak. Haha. Parang hindi bagay.

TheJoker: Awesome post! Thank you so much!

Aww...pity you Rubix...your cube now has and expiration date. Speaking of effective yet fugly-in-the-long-run lubricants, try mc all purpose cleaner...yung parang margarine na nakalagay sa lata. Mabango at at madulas...and it'll quiet the beast...kaso after awhile...parang iba na yung feeling...not recmended at all unless complete and utterly desperate...

My cube? I haven't even lubed them yet. LOL!

tire black huh.. am try na nga kakaiba yan ha..

The best lube would be Rubiks.com cube lube. The cube works instantly well even just after lubing.

na try ko dati baby oil sa "peke" na cube ayun..sira

@the joker its true tire black eats up the plastic of DIY kits.. LOL!

Ba't ba tayo naghahanap ng bagong lubricant? Okay na ang silicone spray ng Cyclo! Wahaha.

ei ako na sasagot., karaniwan ng mga substance na ngpapalube sa mga bagay na ginagamit sa kotse ay nakakatunaw ng plastic., so be careful on what you put on your cube...

But everyone who's bought a TRU cube may have had the opportunity to buy the lube in the mall they bought their TRU cube.

kung wla keong mahanap na silicone spray sa mga hardware at kung iniisip neo ang price.. meron nmn silicone oil namabibili sa car store.. na try ko n xa at madulas din xa at tingin ko same effect din xa ng silione spray. sa pagkakakwento sakin ng isang PCA member nun cubemeet may dala xng silicone oil at nabibili nea lng ito ng 60pesos sa malapit na car store repair sa kanila.. ok xa maganda madulas parang silicone spray. pero dahil oil based un matagal xng matiyo, pero same effect like cyclo na ginagamit ko naun. wag na kayong mag try ng kung ano ano., mahirap mag hanap ng TRU naun wag neo na sugal Cube neo kung saan saan...

goodluck sa ineo..
love your cube.!!

i agree with them.. you cant judge a lube simply by its immediate effects

(anhilig ko mangokray sa forums nowadays ah.. nagiging activist na ba ako?? oh noooohh!!!)

SILICONE OIL... basta PURE SILICONE... then tapos OIL BASED... yun ang da best... kasi yun ang gamit ng RUBIKS.COM... na ginaya ng CUBELUBE...

yun nabibili sa mga car shop... SILICONE OIL... yup totoo po yan... kaso di natin alam kung PURE SILICONE... so may halong sugal pa din...

tulad ng CYCLO na nabibili natin... may PETROLEUM DISTILATE sya... so medyo harmful pa rin sa plastic lalo na sa DIY CORE which is RUBBER/PLASTIC...

so careful na lang sa paggamit... okay...

from www.cubelube.com HOME:

"It's certainly better than nothing, but nowhere near as good as the real stuff. For one you have to be careful that your favorite brand (say Prestone) has not added petroleum distillates which may ruin your cube."

hindi po nakakasira ang petroleum distillate, in fact, sabi dito yung isang brand ay walang ganito - - - at ang absence niya ang nakakasira sa cube. correction lang po

Papplazy

Good point... Has anyone tried water? Hahaha.

i don't agree a little with you sir marc... as you posted a site about it... and read further... you can easily see the disadvantage of lubricant with petroleum distillates on plastic such as our cube...

http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1365798[/color][/quote]

sa umpisang mga sentences... iisipin mo agad na... "eh harmless naman pala eh..." yes... it was talking about in general... like motor oil... it is usefull to have it... it lubricates and protect from scratches...

but on plastic...

here what he said about it...

BENEFICIAL RESULTS FOR APPEARANCE
The reason that petroleum distillates are used in most appearance care products is because they perform many different and important functions at an affordable price. Over 90% of the thousands of paste and liquid Car Waxes and Polishes formulated today contain significant amounts of petroleum distillate, from the best known brands to the lesser known, as well as the highly regarded premium quality brands used by professional detailers. It is used in these products because petroleum distillates easily dissolve waxes and silicones and become an excellent medium to allow them to be spread on a surface. They also cut quickly through oily dirt and light grease and helps lubricate the surface and prevent scratching.

Products that are used on plastic, vinyl and rubber surfaces should be formulated from very special types of petroleum distillate that contain little if any of the harsher aromatic and naphthenic molecules. While this type of highly refined paraffinic distillate costs a good deal more, it helps insure that the product does not attack the surface or remove important components from the vinyl or rubber when used as directed -- yet, it does help to clean and lubricate the surface. Such products can be formulated to leave behind a rich and protective film of wax or silicone (or both) to help lengthen the useful life of the surface and prevent cracking and shrinkage. The use of petroleum distillate allows premium UV Blockers to be included in the formulation as the most effective ones are not soluble in water. This can provide excellent protection against deterioration, chalking and fading caused by sunlight.

as you can see in the section... especially the BOLD one... ibang klase dapat or wala dapat... because "it helps insure that the product does not attack the surface or remove important components from the vinyl or rubber when used as directed"...

so meaning... PETROLEUM DISTILLATE is good but not on PLASTIC... okay po... Products that are used on plastic, vinyl and rubber surfaces should be formulated from very special types of petroleum distillate that contain little... so kailangan ng ibang klaseng PETROLEUM DISTILLATE when it used on plastic, vinyl or rubber... expensive yung ganun... di basta PETROLEUM DISTILLATE... a very special types of PETROLEUM DISTILLATE which is very expensive...

hope i clear this matter... peace po...

To be on the safe side, order sa cubelube.com. They carry the same lube that Rubiks.com carries.
