Over time, hard water minerals, road salt, soap residue, and environmental contamination can build up on the surface, dulling the paint finish and reducing he hydrophobic behavior of coatings and sealants.
DETOX targets mineral spots and film to deeply cleanse the surface, restoring the hydrophobic performance of your protection and clarity to your overall finish. 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 2pH wash process.

DETOX is an acidic mineral cleaning shampoo formulated to deep clean, clarify and restore the behavior of your existing protection. Its high-foaming formula is built with premium surfactants, lubricants, safe 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 your existing protection. Its free-rinsing acidic cleaning system is designed to break down mineral contamination and rinse away completely, without the need for an additional neutralization step.
DETOX does not add gloss or protection on top of the surface. Instead, it helps remove the buildup that may be masking your existing protection. 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.
Detox is formulated in a way that the acids will not stick around once they are rinsed. As a result, there's no need for a 3pH wash system, just a 2pH system from Armour! Make sure you thoroughly rinse to rinse away the acids and there's no reason to come back with a third neutralizing wash step.
DETOX isn't your standard acidic product! In the bottle it has a pH of 1-2, however, once you dilute it in your wash bucket it has a pH of 3-4 providing the perfect balance of strength and performance in a shampoo.
The formula contains phosphoric acid, sulfamic acid (not sulfuric) and citric acid. These are all considered "safe" acids to use. There's no harmful or nasty acids in the formula. This allows DETOX to be used in the sun, making it great for mobile detailers and DIY enthusiasts working at home as well as professionals in a shop environment.
DETOX is a well rounded product that is safe to use, yet also gets the work done that needs to get done!
