Armour Detail Supply Decon Soap High-pH Decontamination Shampoo — 16 oz Concentrate, Foam Cannon Friendly

Armour Detail Supply Decon Soap is a high-pH decontamination shampoo formulated to break down old protection and lift embedded grime, bugs, and stains while remaining biodegradable and safe for exterior surfaces.

Designed for detailers and car-care enthusiasts, this 16 oz concentrated formula uses alkaline degreasing agents and strong surfactants to dissolve stubborn contaminants before polishing or sealing. It foams readily for foam cannons and works equally well in a bucket-and-mitt wash, giving you a versatile pre-wash that speeds up decontamination without harming paint, plastic, glass, or metal. Made in the USA, the product balances cleaning power with biodegradable ingredients so you can remove heavy soils responsibly.

How does this decon shampoo remove old protection and embedded grime?

The high alkaline pH of around 12 weakens and dissolves polymer sealants, wax residues, and road film that trap dirt. Combined with high-foaming surfactants, it lifts contaminants from the surface so they rinse away instead of being scrubbed into paint. Use as a pre-wash to maximize the effectiveness of later claying, polishing, or re-sealing steps.

• Alkaline pH 12 to break down old protection layers
• High-foaming surfactants to encapsulate and lift soils
• Works as a pre-wash for paint decon and detailing prep
• Biodegradable formulation minimizes environmental impact

Can I use this shampoo with a foam cannon or in a wash bucket?

Yes — the concentrated formula is compatible with both foam cannons and traditional bucket-and-mitt washing. For foam cannons, dilute according to your cannon's recommendations to achieve stable foam coverage; for bucket use, mix a measured dose into warm water for active suds and lubrication. Either method reduces contact time and agitation needed to remove contaminants.

• Foam cannon friendly for thick, clingy foam
• Bucket method provides strong suds and lubrication
• Adjust dilution to match soil level and application tool
• Rinses clean without leaving residues before sealing

Is this safe on paint, trim, glass, and other exterior materials?

Armour Detail Supply formulated this decon shampoo with high-surfactant cleaners to remove grime while remaining safe on common exterior surfaces when used as directed. It is intended for use prior to corrective steps, so brief contact and thorough rinsing are recommended. Avoid prolonged dwell on sensitive decals or matte finishes and always test an inconspicuous area if unsure.

• Safe for automotive paint, plastics, metal, and glass
• Rinse promptly to prevent prolonged alkaline exposure
• Not recommended for delicate unsealed matte coatings without testing
• USA-made formula trusted by professionals and enthusiasts

How should I dilute and apply the 16 oz concentrate for best results?

Dilution depends on contamination level: light maintenance washes use a weaker mix, heavy decontamination calls for stronger dilution. Apply with a foam cannon for dwell and agitation-free cleaning or mix in a wash bucket and use a wash mitt for targeted scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly and follow with clay, polish, or protection as needed.

• Light soils: mix conservatively for maintenance washes
• Heavy grime: stronger dilution for pre-wash decontamination
• Foam cannon for broad coverage; bucket for targeted cleaning
• Rinse and proceed to detailing steps (clay/polish/seal)

Who this is for: Armour Detail Supply Decon Soap 16 oz is made for professional detailers, mobile washers, and car-care hobbyists who need an effective pre-wash to remove old protection, traffic film, bugs, and stubborn stains before correction or reapplication of sealants. If you prioritize a product that works with foam systems, rinses clean, and relies on biodegradable surfactants while offering strong alkaline cleaning power, this concentrated decon shampoo is a practical choice.
