Expert Notes

Yum Citrus Pre-Wash - Concentrated Citrus Cleaner should be used as part of a controlled detailing process where surface temperature, dilution, dwell time and towel choice all affect the final result. As a Yum Cars concentrated citrus pre-wash cleaner, it performs best on properly prepared surfaces with clean accessories and careful wipe-off, rinsing or drying technique. For professional results, avoid hot panels, prevent chemical residue from drying and always test sensitive surfaces before full use.
