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/gunFill foam solution bottle with warm water Add 2 oz. of Clean Slate to foam solution bottle Fine tune air/solution ratio to produce desired amount of foam For thicker foam, add more Clean Slate Snow Foam Car Wash Soap.Works safely on all automotive vehicle brands including: Acura, Audi, BMW, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet (Chevy), Chrysler, Dodge, Fisker, Ford, GMC, Honda, Hummer, Hyundai, Infiniti, Isuzu, Jaguar, Jeep, Kia, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, Mazda, Mercedes, Mercury, Mini, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Pontiac, Porsche, RAM, Saab, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo; and RV brands like Coachmen, Entegra, Forest River, Newmar, Thor Motor Coach, Winnebago, AirStream, K-Z, Keystone and Midwest Automotive Designs.

  • Works well
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great for removing wax. I switched to ceramic and needed to remove any old wax. This was quick and easy.

  • Skeptical until i use it
Size: 64 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I was skeptical after i watch reviews and videos, some people were saying i wouldn’t do a thing some others would make pretty positive comments, at the end i decided to do my own opinion so far what would be the lost , throw some money? Sure, but at the end from my personal perspective it did an awesome job, it did cleaned my old sealants and wax from my car, i even used the leftover to wash my few used polishing pads and also i was able to clean it, I make a note, that my old polishing pads i had tried to wash them with different detergents including the dish washer soap with no luck, I, am very happy with my purchase with no regrets of my money well expended, in my case i noted the difference after i washed my car even when i had done my hood sealant and polishing without using any removal solutions prior to the application, only to my dismay my polishing pad got cloaked almost when i was half polishing my hood, then i stopped and ordered the sealant and wax remover, recommend this product with my eye closed, ... show more

  • Great art removing previous waxes to prep your paint
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I decided to start doing some amateur detailing and paint correction to protect my car. I was previously going to El Car Wash, a pretty good car wash subscription here in Miami but the scratches and swirls were too much. Long story short, the have some good protection that I had to remove to start claying, and it worked pretty well. The product is pretty concentrated and with a bit in one wash everything on that paint was gone, the water started sheeting and sticking to the paint. Many of their products are more hype but this one actually delivers. ... show more

  • Works exactly as intended
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is not a product you will want to use every wash, but if you are purchasing this hopefully you are only looking at this because you want to strip the wax you have on. I had purchased my car and to make it easier used a graphene infused wax from turtle wax (amazing product heavily recommend), but pretty hard to remove. This removed it right away, and got me down to base level which then I was able to clay bar, iron remover, water spot remove, polish, etc. A very rare example of a product doing exactly as intended, good job chemical guys! I am excited to try their other products! ... show more

I used it before my clay and polish job to remove the old wax. No idea if it actually did that but it cleaned my vehicle. Zero complaints

  • Didn't strip the ceramic spray wax.
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It didn't work well for me. I used it to try to remove a previously applied ceramic SiO2 spray wax, but the paint remained hydrophobic even after five or six washes and rinses. If I put in the effort and washed it even more than that, then the hydrophobic properties would start to diminish, but it was just way too much work and I was getting tired so I called it a day. ... show more
