Yum Cars Panel Wipe
Yum Panel Wipe is a high-purity, citrus-infused surface preparation spray designed to remove oils, waxes, silicones, and polishing residues before protection.
Key Benefits
- Deep Surface Preparation: Dissolves oils, waxes, silicones, and residues to reveal a clean, ready-to-coat surface.
- Streak-Free Finish: Rapid flash-off formula reduces smearing and leaves panels clear and residue-free.
- Improves Coating Bonding: Helps create the ideal foundation for ceramic coatings, sealants, and waxes.
- Multi-Surface Safe: Suitable for use on paint, glass, plastic, and metal surfaces.
- Versatile Formula: Can be diluted for regular prep work or used neat for heavier residue removal.
How to Use
- Cool Surface First: Ensure the panel is cool and out of direct sunlight before application.
- Apply to Towel: Spray onto a clean microfiber towel rather than directly onto the surface.
- Wipe Panel: Work in small sections, gently wiping to lift oils, polish residue, and contaminants.
- Buff Dry: Follow with a second dry microfiber to ensure a clear, streak-free finish.
- Repeat as Needed: Reapply in areas with heavier contamination or before applying protection.
PRO TIP: For routine surface prep, dilute 1:1 with water to extend product use while still maintaining effective cleaning before applying waxes, sealants, or coatings.
Dilution calculator
Pick your container and your ratio, and read off how much concentrate to pour.
A foam cannon does not spray its bottle. It draws from the bottle into the pressure washer's flow, so a 1 L bottle can put 11 L on the car and the ratio in the bottle tells you nothing about what reaches the paint. Measure your setup once and the number holds for every product that quotes a PIR.
Nothing matches that. Check the product's own page for its ratio.
Common questions
-
Parts water to one part product. A 10:1 mix is ten parts water and one part product, so a 1 L bottle takes 91 ml of product and 909 ml of water. A few brands print theirs the other way round, so check the label if a number looks unusually strong.
-
Water first, then the concentrate. Pouring concentrate into an empty bottle and topping it up makes it foam over the top, and you lose some of what you just measured.
-
Most diluted products keep for a few weeks in a sealed, labelled bottle out of sunlight. Write the product and the ratio on the bottle. An unlabelled trigger bottle is how the wrong chemical ends up on someone's interior.
-
Panel Impact Ratio is the concentrate as a percentage of everything leaving a foam cannon, the bottle water and the pressure washer water together. It matters for snow foam and pre-wash only, because a cannon draws from its bottle into the washer's flow rather than spraying the bottle.
-
A syringe or a measuring jug with millilitre graduations. Capfuls vary by bottle and by how full you fill them, and at 256:1 a few millilitres out is a noticeable change in strength.
