What makes Clean Slate awesome
Prepare Paintwork for Superior Detailing Results
Leaving old layers of wax, sealant, and contamination on paintwork ruins fresh car details and clogs buffing and polishing pads. Fresh wax, clear bras, vinyl wraps, and decals stick better directly to paint, not old wax. Clean Slate releases old layers of wax, sealant, and glaze, leaving behind a truly clean surface for the most effective claying and polishing.
Wash Away Old Layers Without a Trace
Caustic dish soaps, laundry detergents, or heavy degreasers may strip waxes and sealants, but these aggressive chemicals dry out plastic parts, etch paint, and leave stains and spots. Clean Slate washes away old product layers without spotting, staining, or leaving residues.
