I was extremely excited by the removal of the very faint water spot etching in the hard Audi paint. 1 wash with Armour Detail Supply Detox at only 1 ounce in the foam cannon did what all my fancy soaps and APC's could not do. TRUST THE SCIENCE!
Introducing DETOX, an acidic mineral cleaning shampoo formulated to deep clean, clarify, and restore the behavior of existing protection. Over time, hard water minerals, road salt, soap residue, and environmental contamination can build up on the surface, dulling the paint finish and reducing the hydrophobic behavior of coatings and sealants.
The high-foaming formula of DETOX is built with premium surfactants, lubricants, acidic cleaning agents, and chelating agents to help break down and rinse away mineral contamination. Formulated with a multi-acid mineral cleaning system and chelating agents, DETOX helps clarify the surface and restore the water behavior of existing protection. Its free-rinsing acidic cleaning system is designed to break down mineral contamination and rinse away cleanly, without the need for additional neutralization steps. Use it as an acidic pre-wash foam, in the bucket as a mineral cleaning shampoo, or after an alkaline wash as part of a complete 2 pH wash process.
DETOX does not add gloss or protection on top of the surface. Instead, it helps remove the buildup that may be masking your existing coating, sealant, or protectant. With DETOX, you can bring clarity, slickness, and hydrophobic behavior back to the finish, making it the perfect choice for hard-water areas, coating maintenance, or winter salt removal.

FAQs
Yes. DETOX is designed for coating maintenance and can help restore the hydrophobic behavior of existing ceramic coatings by removing mineral buildup that may be masking the surface. It does not strip healthy ceramic coatings when used as directed, but it may degrade weaker waxes, spray sealants, or temporary protection depending on their condition.
DETOX is an acidic mineral cleaning shampoo designed to remove hard-water buildup, road salt, soap residue, and mineral contamination that can clog coatings and dull the finish. It helps clarify the surface and restore the water behavior of existing coatings, sealants, and protectants without adding gloss or protection on top.
No. DETOX uses a free-rinsing acidic cleaning system designed to break down mineral contamination and rinse away cleanly without requiring an additional neutralization step. For best results, use on cool surfaces, do not allow the product to dry, and rinse thoroughly after washing.
DETOX and Decon Soap are both deep cleaning shampoos, but they target different types of contamination. Decon Soap is a high-pH shampoo designed to break down organic grime like dirt, oils, bugs, traffic film, and heavier buildup. DETOX is an acidic mineral cleaning shampoo designed to target hard-water buildup, road salt, mineral residue, and coating-clogging contamination. For a full reset, Decon Soap can be used first to attack organic grime, followed by DETOX as the acidic step to help clarify the surface and restore the water behavior of existing protection.

A great acidic product
I have a 2025 Lexus RX-350h that is Matador Red. This vehicle was purchased brand new in March of 2025. It currently has 21,300 miles. This past week, I had the Lexus in Brevard, NC for 9 days. Two days prior to returning home to Fernandina Beach, FL, Brevard had a rain storm which was caused by Hurricane Isaias. Because the residence I was staying did not have a garage, the Matador Red Lexus sat outside in a heavily wooded environment during the 30 hours of rain. Once the storm ended, the Lexus was heavily covered with leaves and debris. Fortunately, when the Lexus was new, I had installed an Apex BC-1 ceramic coating onto the vehicle. Once back home in Fernandina Beach, I broke out my detailing gear and began to address the leaf/sappy residue and dirt that had been left on the vehicle’s entire surface. The first step was to put 2 ounces of ADS Detox into the DRFT foam cannon along with 24oz of water. Once foamed onto the surface, I let it sit for 4 minutes, followed by a thorough rinse. I then added 2oz of Carbon Detail Supply ph Neutral Car Shampoo along with 24oz of water into the DRFT foam cannon, plus added 2oz of that same soap into my bucket for a hand wash. This process was also followed with a thorough rinse. No quick detailer was needed to dry the vehicle; just an Ego Leaf Blower. Once done, it was easy for me to step back and see the results which were produced by ADS Detox and Carbon Detail Supply Car Shampoo. That Matador Paint was once again bursting with shine! What a perfect combination these 2 products were for this job!
Had this waiting for me after a 600 trip back from Tennessee to Chicagoland, a great test for Detox! I started with 3 oz in a foam gun, great, clinging suds and let dwell for about 5 minutes. Upon rinsing you could "see the clean" but not only that but the beading was crazy, got all the way down and restored everything! Next came the contact wash and once again, Detox came through! I only need 2 oz in the wash bucket and it had great sudsing and cleaned whatever was left after the pre-wash (if there was anything) and I was still blown away with the beading. I used an EGO dryer and the beads ran for their lives...BUY DETOX WITH CONFIDENCE, I'll be getting a gallon next time around!!
