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.

    Pre polish prep

    Ideal for removing the dealers gloop from a new car prior to polish and ceramic coating. Good strip without being too harsh.
