Decontamination Simplified

When I first started sharing my detailing process on Rennlist in 2014, there was a guy that sent me his listing of preferred products to compare to what I was using.  At that time I was simply adding some Adam's APC to Adam's Shampoo to aid in stripping the wax, sealant, or junk on top of whatever coating you have.  He was adamant about trying Chemical Guy's "Citrus Red."  I bought a 16oz bottle and loved it.  

CG discontinued Citrus Wash several years ago.  After quite a few calls and emails, I got to someone in Wholesale sales that was nice enough to work with me.  They were making small batches to provide us with the solution.  I figured I'd get the call at some point that they were no longer going to make it for me.  That day came.  They provided me with one last run that I got in 55-gallon drums in the Summer of '18.  That sold out in seconds.

Since I could no longer source it, I was forced to figure out how to get it.  Now that I've headed down that path, I've decided to change the color to purple.  When I think decontamination, I think purple.  Also, the name made no sense.  This has a pH of 10, so it is alkaline.  Being Orange and called "Citrus" would imply that it was acidic with a pH below 7.
