YumCars Yum Wash

Yum Wash is a super-slick pH neutral car shampoo designed to safely remove dirt, traffic film and grime while preserving waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings. With strong lubrication, rich suds and a free-rinsing formula, it is the core contact wash product in the YumCars maintenance system.

Features & Benefits

• pH neutral shampoo with pH level of 7
• Safe on paint, glass, vinyl wraps and exterior surfaces
• High lubrication to minimise wash-induced swirls
• Will not strip waxes, sealants or coatings
• Hand wash and foam cannon friendly
• Free-rinsing formula with a strawberry fragrance

Yum Wash has been developed around one of the most important parts of detailing: safe contact washing. Even after a strong pre-wash, some dirt remains on the surface and needs to be physically removed. This is where lubrication matters.

The formula transfers slickness to the panel so your wash mitt can glide more safely across the paint. That helps reduce the risk of wash-induced swirls, marring and general paint damage, especially on softer paint systems.

Yum Wash is pH neutral and safe across exterior surfaces including paint, glass and vinyl wraps. It cleans traffic film, road dirt, grime, pollen and general contamination without stripping wax, sealant or coating protection.

For the safest routine, pre-wash first with Yum Citrus and Yum Foam, then contact wash with Yum Wash and dry with Yum Detailer as a drying aid.

Pro Tip

For extra slickness during contact washing, add Yum Wash to a foam cannon at 100-150ml and apply over the vehicle immediately before using your wash mitt. This creates an additional lubricated layer during the contact wash.
