Introducing Decon Soap, a specially formulated shampoo that offers heavy-duty cleaning for your vehicle. Made with biodegradable ingredients and degreasing agents with PH of 12, it is designed as a deep cleanse to remove various types of contaminants such as dirt, grime, bugs, and stains.
The high-foaming formula of Decon Soap provides exceptional cleaning power, making it the perfect choice for pre-detail or annual decontamination washes, pre-wash foam, or "touchless" style applications. It can be used in a foam cannon, and in the bucket as a more cleansing decontamination wash. The unique blend of high alkalinity degreasing agents and surfactants in this shampoo ensures that it is safe to use on all types of surfaces, including paint, plastic, and metal. Decon Soap is safe for ceramic coatings, but will degrade some weaker waxes or detail sprays restoring to a fresh surface.
With Decon Soap, you’re set for anything—whether it’s prepping for a full detail, annual coating maintenance, pre-wash foam, or touchless washing. Its heavy-duty formula provides a deep clean that resets your vehicle, so you always have the perfect starting point for protection, maintenance, or your next round of detailing.

Yes, Decon Soap is specially formulated to break down old protection and remove various types of contaminants, including previous waxes and sealants, from your vehicle's surfaces. This makes it an ideal choice for preparing your vehicle for new protection, polishing, or pre-detailing treatments.
While Decon Soap can be used for a annual deep cleaning of a ceramic coated vehicle, we recommend avoiding use on ceramic coated vehicles as a maintenance shampoo. This is because the high pH of Decon Soap can potentially strip the ceramic coating overtime, reducing its effectiveness. For vehicles with ceramic coatings, we recommend using our Shampoo+ which is specifically designed for use with ceramic coatings.

Used Armour Devon soap, Glass and Trim coatings looks fantastic!
ADS DECON SOAP is a workhorse for paint, wheels , & everything in between !
I use it for a pre-wash foam, in my wheel bucket, foamed over wheels to add dwell time to the wheel & tire cleaners, as well as over ADS IRON on the paint for extra dwell time and slickness for using a clay block!
This Decon shampoo EATS…. Car was basically clean after the prewash foam party. Put about 3oz in a full foam cannon and was able to foam all 4 wheels and prewash…..
Just got this new car and it was filthy from the dealership. I brought it home and used armor detail supply decon soap. It stripped all the dirt and grime right off. It prepared the surface for beads.. I love all these products.
Fantastic product. Stormed last night and we have wildfires so the haze and contaminates on my truck this morning we're ridiculous. Put 3oz of decon in drft foam cannon and it foamed up like a fat man looking at donuts. Let it sit for around 3 mins and rinsed off. Squeeky clean!
For reference, truck is ceramic coated with xpel fusion+ and it still clung to it. Outstanding product
This is an awesome decon soap, has great cleaning power and great foam and you can use it in the bucket for the contact wash no problem. Don’t need to use it every time but works great when you need it.
DECON cuts the grime and crud !! Look at this thick foam out of my DRFT Foam Cannon …2 oz was crazy thick and probably took 90% of the junk off the car before I ever touched it with a wash pad!!
10/10 recommend DECON
This is the first full detailing of my 2005 C240 Benz.
I did not know how dirty a vehicle is until I started researching car detailing. I'm so glad I found ADS!!
All products I used were ADS.
I am not a detailer, just an average nobody that actually did detailing at this level for the first time ever. Could the vehicle have been better? Yes. This was my testing vehicle before detailing my Durango GT and Durango Hellcat.
Steps I took:
1. I did not rinse my vehicle to start, I foamed it first with decon soap only. Foamed the entire vehicle, including wheels and tires. I let the foam alone and let it do it's thing.
2. Rinsed off the decon soap -- I did not use 2 bucket wash
3. Applied wheel cleaner, and tire cleaner (one wheel at a time). As mentioned in ADS videos, I let the products for the expected amount of time, then agitated. Rinsed and repat. The wheels were so dirty because as long as I've owned the vehicle, Never had this done.
4. 2 bucket wash to make sure all particles and dirt was removed. Rinsed
5. ADS Iron remover -- one panel at a time. Rinsed
6. Foamed again with decon soap and 2 bucket wash. To make sure Iron remover and any lose particles and dirt were removed.
7. Dried vehicle
8. ADS Panel Prep
9. Applied compound and polish by hand (At this point I was exhausted from steps 1 - 8 lol and Did not feel like pulling out polisher).
10. Panel prep
11. Ceramic spray (I found it easier to spray on to my vehicle and wipe vs spraying microfiber towel then wiping.) Also used it on all of the windows as mentioned in a ADS video.
12. Applied Amplify over the Ceramic Spray
13. Applied Tire+
14. Applied Amplify to the wheels
Thank you ADS!!
The Ultimate Decontamination Powerhouse! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you’re serious about your detailing routine, you need to get your hands on this soap. I integrated it into a full decontamination wash, and the results were nothing short of spectacular. It’s "crazy good" doesn't even cover it, it’s a total essential for stripping away the tough stuff and prepping the surface.
Here is why this soap is a standout:
• The Ultimate Pre-Soak: I let it dwell for about 3 minutes, and it went to work immediately, breaking down contaminants and loosening road grime with ease.
• Thick, Clinging Foam: I used about 2/3 of a foam cannon for the initial soak. The foam is dense, rich, and stays active on the paint exactly as long as you need it to.
This soap didn't just clean the car; it completely revived the finish. It’s easily one of the most effective products I’ve ever used. Highly recommended!
I had to decon the rear tailgate on my Silverado. I have used CP lift, but you can only foam it. I like decon soap better because I can use it in the bucket as well. Much better cleaning results in my opinion.
ADS is the first company that has a product line where there's no fluff, as in no extra products you don't need or that are just mimicking others. I love that they kept it simple and to the point. I was hesitant about the separate tire and wheel cleaner, but I like how iron wheel cleaners, mostly this one, can be a touchless cleaner. the tire cleaner seems to be a bit of an APC cleaner bc it does great on all exterior plastic/rubber. It excels on rubber though I love watching it pull the browning out 'm not saying I don't use another APC, but they esch have they're place during the wash. All of the products performs beyond my expectations, and after trying Amplify as my drying aid, knew this small business thats only one state away from myself was about to be huge and I immediately saw them on the rag company youtube channel. These people are genuine and actually are what they say because it shows in their customer service, and each product's consistent performance, and straight forward no nonsense approach.
Whoo boy. I put two ounces/60mL into about two gallons of water for both a wheel bucket and wash bucket. It was crazy slick over everything, including my hands (granted that was probably my dilution, but I’d guess it would still be slick with more water) and it took care of everything pretty nicely. I get a lot of bee poop stuck on in my area and it seemed to dislodge/break it up well. I’m curious to see how foaming before would have helped more, but Decon Soap is a win nonetheless.
If you’re looking for solid decon shampoo at a more affordable price point than others from S. Korea or Australia, give this a try!
Excellent product Decon wash has slickness perfect for a prep wash. Has power to cut the road film makes cleaning a lot easier and less chances to scratch the vehicle when used as a prep wash follow up with shampoo plus and you got your self foam town usa. Must have another NACHO MAN approved product 🔥
Decon soap foams up well with 2oz in my DRFT foam cannon as well as 2 oz in a bucket. Cleans very well. Smells amazing. Very slick! I use for paint, engine bays and even wheels.
Great cleaning power for the Decon Soap. ADS has become my new favorite . This soap foams really well and pulls the dirt and grime off. You will be impressed when you give these guys a try and this product for sure will make you a fan as well. Highly recommend .
Decon soap works great. Really cuts through the dirt and grime stains and bird poop.. makes a clean slate for any type of protection you want to lay down. I used Ez beads this time and the results were amazing.
Definitely buy the gallon you’re going to want more as soon as it runs out!
I have been using the decon soap on different family members cars that have road grime and other contaminants before applying protection or polishing and it works so great with almost no effort so save yourself time and money and just buy one product you don’t need anything more for decontamination!
