Product Description

Clean Slate Surface Cleanser Wash is a premium car soap that strips away old wax before a full detail. The advanced cleaning formula removes dirt, debris, and old layers of wax to prepare the surface for further detailing treatments or vehicle wrapping. Professional detailers routinely remove old layers of wax and sealant that block fresh wax, clear bras, and vinyl wraps from sticking directly to paintwork. Wash with Clean Slate before polishing to avoid wax residue buildup on polishing pads. Remove leftover coatings with Clean Slate to make clay bar decontamination services faster and easier. Use Clean Slate after polishing to remove oils and residues before applying vehicle coatings, clear bra wraps, vinyl wraps, decals, or protective wax.

Works safely on all automotive paint colors. Please read directions on bottle before use.

Directions for use:

Clean Slate Deep Surface Cleaning Car Wash Soap in 2-bucket wash method

Add 1 oz. of Clean Slate to 5-gallon soap bucket
Wash car from top to bottom with premium chenille microfiber mitt
Rinse mitt in clean water bucket before returning to soap bucket
Use a third bucket for wheels and tires.

Clean Slate Deep Surface Cleaning Car Wash Soap with foam cannon/gun

Fill foam solution bottle with warm water
Add 2 oz. of Clean Slate to foam solution bottle

    The quantity is less then stated
    Clean slate seems like it does what it describes as removes previous polishes and protection applied on the vehicle paint. The ratio I believe needs to be doubled when using it in combination with a foam gun for better coverage and application. The one thing I wanted and expected was that the quantity of the soap is better filled to the quantity of the container. The packaging could be better to prevent leaks. Other than my gripes it does the job.
