Description
One Concentrate, Three Hardest-Working Jobs
Ardex New Wave is a super-concentrated all-purpose cleaner built for detailers, body shops, and dealership recon teams that need one bottle to handle tires, engines, and interiors without resorting to harsh caustics. Its moderately alkaline chemistry slices through baked-on grease, brake dust, road film, and ground-in interior grime, yet stays gentle enough on rubber, plastic, and vinyl to use shift after shift. Because it dilutes deep without losing strength, this concentrated all-purpose cleaner replaces several single-purpose chemicals and trims cost-per-vehicle on every detail bay ticket.
Key features
- Heavy-duty cutting power without aggressive caustic ingredients
- Stretches up to 20:1 for prewash and tunnel wash operations
- One chemical replaces tire cleaner, engine degreaser, and interior cleaner
- Pleasant scent keeps cabins fresh after interior shampooing
- Lifts traffic film, bug residue, and grease from engine bays fast
- Available in 1-gallon and 5-gallon sizes for mobile pros and high-volume shops
How to use
Always dilute before use. Mix 4:1 with warm water for engine degreasing, 10:1 for interior carpets, vinyl, and door panels, and 20:1 as a prewash before tunnel or hand washing. Spray on, agitate stubborn areas with a soft brush, then rinse or extract thoroughly. Test on sensitive surfaces first and avoid use on hot or sun-exposed panels.

Pro Detailer Tips
Patch Test First
Before applying any new product to a full panel, test on a small hidden area first — especially on older paint, vinyl wraps, or exotic finishes.
Read the SDS Sheet
Every professional detailing product has a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). Review it before first use to understand proper handling, dilution limits, and safety precautions.
Store Properly
Keep products in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures. Extreme heat or cold can degrade chemistry and shorten shelf life.
