Clean Slate Wax-Stripping Surface Cleanser Wash
Start every detail with a perfectly clean foundation. Clean Slate Surface Cleanser Wash by Chemical Guys is a powerful surface-prep car wash shampoo formulated to strip away old wax, sealants, and glazes, leaving paint bare and ready for claying, polishing, or new protective coatings.
Strips Old Protection
Easily removes old layers of wax, sealants, and glazes without harsh mechanical scrubbing.
pH-Balanced Safety
Unlike harsh detergents, it safely cleans without drying out plastics, etching paint, or staining trim.
Maximum Bonding
Allows fresh ceramic coatings, clear bras, and waxes to bond directly to clean bare paintwork.
Why Choose Clean Slate:
- Bare Surface Preparation: Fresh protective coatings and wraps stick best to paint, not over degrading wax layers.
- Saves Polishing Pads: Stripping buildup beforehand prevents buffing pads from gumming up and clogging quickly.
- Speeds up Clay Bar Work: Pre-stripping contaminants enables clay bars to glide and decontaminate faster.
- Bucket & Foam Cannon Friendly: Works equally well in two-bucket wash setups or pressure washer foam cannons.
Directions for Use:
- Shake bottle well before use.
- Pour 1 oz (30 ml) into 5 gallons (19 L) of clean water in a wash bucket (or 2–3 oz in a foam cannon bottle).
- Rinse vehicle with clean water to loosen initial dirt and abrasives.
- Wash vehicle from top to bottom in straight lines with a premium microfiber wash mitt (such as the Chenille Wash Mitt).
- Rinse thoroughly using clean water.
- Dry with a clean microfiber drying towel and proceed with clay bar, paint correction, or ceramic coating.
