It's a brand of dish soap. I've used it to help fit crane tires, pump shaft seals, and as a cable lube. I would be surprised if Boeings SOP specifies dish soap.
There is a rather unfortunate practice in some government agencies that when a consultant tells you his report is going to bare bad news, you tell the consultant to submit a draft copy (and never ask for a final copy) This is done because many FOIA laws exempt drafts. I worked for a state...

Thankfully not a disaster, but their inspection process will certainly be questioned. Is routine NDT something that is performed on amusement rides?
From what I can see of his work experience it would appear he had exceedingly little relevant work experience. He briefly worked for McDonnell Douglas as a flight-test engineer and a sonar manufacturer (dont know in what capacity). Then he got his MBA (this explains him doing things on the...
