Yum Citrus is a strong, concentrated citrus pre-wash cleaner designed to help loosen dirt, grease, grime, bugs, and road film before the contact wash stage. Use it as the first cleaning step to break down contamination so the rest of the wash process can work cleaner and safer.
This formula is built for more than just general pre-wash work. Yum Citrus can also be used for door jamb cleaning, engine bay touch-ups, panel gap agitation, rubbers, and a wide range of painted exterior surfaces when used as directed. It can be used stronger for demanding areas or diluted further for lighter cleaning tasks.
For best results, spray Yum Citrus over the vehicle before foaming, allow it to dwell, then rinse thoroughly before the contact wash. It is a strong choice for details where bugs, grease, traffic film, and neglected exterior areas need more bite than shampoo alone.
