In my experience, silicone does nothing unless the cube is completely clean of all vasoline "gunk" and other stuff. This is what I do to clean mine, and it works well for me.

  • wont the stickers fall off is the cube gets wet?

  • I dont know. For me, stickers fall off just through normal wear and tear. My stickers didnt fall off, but I was really careful. I think As long as you dont scrub really hard, your okay.

  • Thanks for the vid. It helped a lot. Faved an liked.

  • @xXxSexyGoddessxXx Same here. WAY too much. I think I'm gonna keep some of the vaseline in until I get some silicone. I'm not puttin it in water either, but I might use a little wet towlette or wet washcloth.

  • yeah, i fucked up my cube by putting way too much vaseline, there is like no space in the cube, all u see are vaseline, and the vaseline kinda leaks out onto the surface, so wen i play with my cube my hands gets oily and thats jus nasty

    thanks for this tutorial, i will clean my cube wen i have time

    the only thing i wont be following is putting the core into water, coz i dont want to risk having the stickers fall off

  • guy1: you live in a box

    guy2 you live in a trashcan

    guy 1: You got your box from my trashcan

  • @RubiksiswhAtiMdOiNg

    Stickers will not fall off with water. The only thing that will wear the stickers is oil based substances, like vaseline and other lubricants.

  • wow dont put the core in water it could get to the screwes and rust!

  • You can do that with eatable oil, you must have that kinda stuff...

  • yeah your supposed to take the cube apart when you spray it with jigaloo

  • I use CRC Heavy Duty Silicone which you can get at walmart for only $1.50 USD for an 11oz can. I also recently bought a 3 oz Jig-A-Loo can and it was my worst mistake ever lol. It make the cube sort of "melt". R.I.P Cube4You White Diy Type A (Generation III). So yeah, if you wanna keep your cube healthy but spinning with ease, use CRC Heavy Duty Silicone. (I always have 5 cans in stock in my closet since they are cheap).

  • thanks alot man this helped me out :)
