Have got altec citrus pre spray and I do find it slower rinsing then something like spm. I sometimes boost my spm with it on minders and it works well but I also usually will add ultimate master or an acid rinse to the tank,  use as much heat as possible and a little more psi to achieve a faster rinse

steven , ive used the altech citrus and also the restormate citrus premium, as boosters in my pr spray when needed, both very very good and very economical, not really noticed any difference with rinsing if im honest???

Here's an interesting article about solvents which includes a reference to citrus based chemicals, it mentions it's need to be rinsed.

Citrus based pre sprays can be amazing on the right soils but its not really a one size fits all type of product. Imo its best used as an additive for when extra grease cutting power is needed. It can be great on traffic lanes but only when the type of soils in that traffic lane respond to a solvent. It can also be an effective product for use on polypropylene carpet as it has an affinity for oils.
