ARC Ready-Mix Truck Wash and Wax Technical Data Sheet

WORLD’S ONLY NON-D.O.T. REGULATED, OEM APPROVED READY-MIX WASH
Until now, the only effective way to remove concrete from ready mix trucks has been the use of harsh acids. While these acids eat away the concrete, they pose significant dangers to the truck, the environment and the person washing it.

ARC Ready-Mix Truck Wash and Wax is a non-corrosive, and 100% biodegradable truck wash that removes concrete as
effectively as traditional acids or organic salts. Powered by SynTech®, the world’s only synthetic acid, ARC Ready Mix Truck Wash and Wax earns a triple-zero HMIS score in the USA. Its unmatched safety profile and performance earns the approval and recommendation of OEM industry giants – a claim no other wash can make.

Along with Syntech®, this all-in-one wash contains the finest detergents, brighteners, natural rust inhibitors and waxes. A simple one-step application quickly removes grease, oil, rust, grime, diesel stains and soot and protects your substantial investment from the elements. Simply apply and rinse. No neutralising step is required. It is so safe it can be left on overnight to loosen the heaviest buildup.

Because ARC Ready-Mix Truck Wash and Wax contains no acid and is non-corrosive, you can apply it to any part of the truck, including glass, chrome, aluminium, rubber, plastic and paint. During the rinse process a natural wax (carnauba wax) covers every washed surface making the truck easier to cleaner over time.
