YumCars | Yum Tar & Residue 500mL

Yum Tar & Residue is a citrus-derived decontamination product designed to dissolve tar, asphalt, adhesive residue and organic or inorganic contamination from paint, glass and plastic trim. It is a key first step before iron removal, claying, polishing or protection.

Features & Benefits

• Removes tar, asphalt and sticky road residue
• Citrus-derived formula based on cleaner ingredients
• Safe on paint, glass and plastic trim when used correctly
• Gentle on paint but strong against bonded contamination
• Ideal before iron removal and clay
• Helps prepare paint for polishing or protection

Yum Tar & Residue is designed to solve a common problem in Australian detailing: bonded road grime, bitumen, tar spots and sticky residue that normal shampoo cannot remove. These contaminants often build up on lower doors, rear bumpers, wheel arches and performance cars with wider, lower bodywork.

Removing tar before claying is important because clay can drag sticky contamination across the paint. Yum Tar & Residue helps dissolve this contamination chemically first, making the following decontamination stages safer and more effective.

YumCars positions this as part of a complete decontamination process: tar removal first, then iron removal with Yum Wheels then mechanical clay if required, followed by a re-wash with Yum Wash.

This makes it ideal before machine polishing, ceramic coating, wax application or any protection step where a cleaner surface will improve gloss and bonding.
