YUMCARS Glass 500ml – Streak-Free Car Glass Cleaner

Achieve crystal-clear, streak-free glass with YUMCARS Glass 500ml, a dedicated automotive glass cleaner designed to quickly remove fingerprints, smears, dirt and everyday contamination from your vehicle’s windows and glass surfaces.

Whether you’re completing a full detail or simply freshening up your windscreen, YUM Glass makes it quick and easy to achieve a clean, clear finish inside and outside the vehicle.

Crystal-Clear Glass

Dirty or smeared glass can spoil an otherwise perfectly detailed car. YUMCARS Glass is designed to cut through the everyday contamination that builds up on automotive glass, leaving a clean finish with excellent clarity.

Ideal for cleaning:

* Windscreens
* Side windows
* Rear windows
* Interior glass
* Exterior glass
* Mirrors
* Fingerprints and smears
* Everyday dirt and grime

Key Features

* 500ml trigger-spray bottle
* Dedicated automotive glass cleaner
* Helps deliver a streak-free finish
* Removes fingerprints and smears
* Tackles everyday dirt and contamination
* Suitable for interior and exterior glass
* Quick and easy to use
* Excellent final stage of an interior or exterior detail
* Perfect for enthusiasts, valeters and professional detailers

How to Use YUMCARS Glass

For best results, use with a clean, dedicated glass microfibre towel.

1. Lightly spray YUM Glass onto the glass or directly onto your microfibre towel.
2. Wipe across the surface to remove dirt, fingerprints and contamination.
3. Flip the towel to a clean, dry side or use a second glass cloth.
4. Buff until the glass is clear and streak-free.

For interior windscreens, spraying the product onto your cloth rather than directly onto the glass can help prevent overspray onto dashboards and surrounding trim.

For best results, avoid cleaning hot glass in strong direct sunlight.

The Finishing Touch to Any Detail

Perfectly clean glass makes a huge difference to the finished appearance of a vehicle. Use YUMCARS Glass as one of the final stages of your detailing routine for that crisp, professionally detailed finish.

Pair with other products from the YUMCARS range, including YUM Wash, Citrus, Foam, Detailer, Ceramic and Dress V2, to build a complete car-care routine.

🧪🛞 PRODUCT SCHOOL – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE? 🛞🧪

Bilt Hamber KORROSOL vs Bilt Hamber AUTO-WHEEL

We get asked questions like this all the time in store, so we’re starting some posts explaining what different detailing products actually do – and when you should use them.

At first glance, Korrosol and Auto-Wheel can look like very similar products. Both react with metallic contamination, both produce that familiar colour-changing reaction, and both can tackle contamination caused by brake dust and iron particles.

So why does Bilt Hamber make both?

👉 Because they’re formulated for different jobs. (Bilt Hamber⁠)

🔵 BILT HAMBER KORROSOL – FOR PAINTWORK

Korrosol is primarily a fallout remover designed for vehicle paintwork and lacquer.

Every time you drive, tiny metallic particles from brakes, roads, railways and industrial fallout can become embedded in your paint.

You might not even be able to see them – but after washing your car, run your fingertips gently over the paint and you may notice it feels rough rather than perfectly smooth.

Korrosol is designed to attack this embedded metallic contamination. It spreads easily across body panels, reacts with the iron contamination and changes colour as it works. Once rinsed away, the paint is left decontaminated and ready for the next detailing stage. (Bilt Hamber⁠)

🚗 Think KORROSOL = PAINT DECONTAMINATION

It’s particularly useful before:

✨ Clay barring
✨ Machine polishing
✨ Waxing
✨ Applying sealants
✨ Ceramic coating preparation
✨ A full seasonal decontamination

Bilt Hamber suggests treating the vehicle around every 6–12 months, or when contamination can be felt on the paintwork. (Bilt Hamber⁠)



🛞 BILT HAMBER AUTO-WHEEL – FOR WHEELS

Auto-Wheel uses similar reactive chemistry, but it’s specifically formulated as a wheel cleaner.

Your wheels face much heavier contamination than your paintwork – brake dust, road grime and metallic particles are constantly being deposited onto them.

That’s why Auto-Wheel is formulated to cling better to the dirtier vertical surfaces of a wheel, giving the product time to work on stubborn contamination rather than simply running away. (Bilt Hamber⁠)

Spray it liberally onto the wheel, allow the colour-changing reaction to take place and then thoroughly pressure rinse.

For heavily contaminated wheels, agitation with a suitable wheel brush can help get into spokes, barrels and awkward areas. Bilt Hamber describes Auto-Wheel as a pH-adjusted reactive cleaner suitable for alloy, aluminium and steel wheels. (Bilt Hamber⁠)

🛞 Think AUTO-WHEEL = WHEEL CLEANING + FALLOUT REMOVAL



🤔 SO CAN YOU USE KORROSOL ON WHEELS OR AUTO-WHEEL ON PAINT?

Interestingly – yes, Bilt Hamber says using them interchangeably won’t cause damage.

But there’s little point when each one has been optimised for its particular job.

🔵 Korrosol spreads more easily across paintwork.

🛞 Auto-Wheel clings better to dirty vertical wheel surfaces.

Using the correct one makes the job easier and more economical. (Bilt Hamber⁠)

💡 THE SIMPLE ANSWER:

KORROSOL = PAINTWORK FALLOUT REMOVER

AUTO-WHEEL = DEDICATED REACTIVE WHEEL CLEANER

Same type of contamination – different formulation for a different surface and job.

And that’s an important part of detailing: it’s not about having the strongest chemical possible – it’s about using the right chemical for the right job. 👌

Both are available from Protect & Shine Car Care, along with a huge selection of Bilt Hamber detailing products.

Chemical Guys HydroSlick Ceramic Coating HyperWax Kit – Ceramic Protection & High Gloss

Take your vehicle’s paint protection to the next level with the Chemical Guys HydroSlick Ceramic Coating HyperWax Kit – a complete kit combining the ease of applying a wax with advanced SiO₂ ceramic technology.

HydroSlick is designed to create an incredibly slick, glossy and hydrophobic finish, producing impressive water beading while helping protect your vehicle’s paintwork from everyday environmental contamination.

Ideal for car enthusiasts and professional detailers looking for ceramic-style protection without the more involved application process associated with traditional ceramic coatings.

COMPLETE HYDROSLICK KIT

Everything you need to apply HydroSlick is conveniently supplied together.

Kit includes:

✔ Chemical Guys HydroSlick Ceramic Coating HyperWax – 8oz / 237ml
✔ Microfibre Applicator
✔ Premium Microfibre Towel

A simple three-piece kit ready to protect your vehicle.

SiO₂ CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY

HydroSlick uses SiO₂ ceramic technology to create a hydrophobic protective layer over your vehicle’s paintwork.

Once correctly applied, it helps create a surface that feels exceptionally smooth and slick while delivering a dramatic improvement in gloss and water behaviour.

The result is that desirable freshly detailed, wet-look finish.

INCREDIBLE WATER BEADING

One of HydroSlick’s standout characteristics is its hydrophobic performance.

Water forms tight beads across the treated surface and is encouraged to run away more easily, helping reduce the amount of water that remains sitting on the vehicle.

The slicker surface can also make subsequent maintenance washing and drying easier.

DEEP GLOSS & SHINE

HydroSlick isn’t simply about protection.

It’s designed to significantly enhance the appearance of your paintwork, adding depth, clarity, slickness and gloss.

Perfect for:

• Daily drivers
• Weekend cars
• Show vehicles
• Performance cars
• Freshly machine-polished paintwork
• Professional detailing packages
• Enthusiast detailing

WAX-LIKE APPLICATION – CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY

HydroSlick bridges the gap between traditional wax application and modern ceramic protection.

Rather than requiring the more complicated process associated with some professional coatings, HydroSlick can be applied using the supplied applicator and buffed using the included microfibre towel.

For maximum performance, proper paint preparation is essential.

HOW TO USE

For best results, thoroughly wash and dry the vehicle before application.

For maximum bonding and finish, we recommend chemically and mechanically decontaminating the paint where necessary. Machine polishing can also be carried out beforehand to remove defects and maximise gloss.

1. Ensure paintwork is clean, cool and dry.
2. Work out of direct sunlight.
3. Apply a small amount of HydroSlick to the supplied applicator.
4. Spread a thin, even layer across the paintwork.
5. Allow the product to set according to Chemical Guys’ instructions.
6. Buff thoroughly using the supplied clean microfibre towel.
7. Check the panel carefully for any remaining residue.

Always follow the manufacturer’s current instructions supplied with the product.

WHY CHOOSE HYDROSLICK?

✔ Advanced SiO₂ ceramic technology
✔ Incredible hydrophobic water beading
✔ Deep, wet-look gloss
✔ Extremely slick finish
✔ Helps protect against environmental contamination
✔ Makes future maintenance easier
✔ Straightforward application
✔ Great alternative to traditional wax
✔ Applicator included
✔ Microfibre towel included
✔ Ideal for enthusiasts and professional detailers

PERFECT AFTER MACHINE POLISHING

HydroSlick makes an excellent final protection stage following a paint enhancement or machine-polishing detail.

Correct the paint, properly prepare the surface and finish with HydroSlick to lock in that freshly polished appearance while adding ceramic protection, gloss and hydrophobic performance.

🔥🚗 AUTOBRITE DECONTAMINATION – WHAT DO YOU NEED? 🚗🔥

Want to give your car a proper deep clean rather than just another quick wash?

We’ve put together an Autobrite Direct Decontamination Bundle covering the different stages needed to remove everyday grime, stubborn contamination, tar and other deposits before you move on to polishing or protection.

🔥 SPECIAL IN-STORE PRICE – ONLY £49.99 FOR ALL 5 PRODUCTS! 🔥

📦 WHAT’S INCLUDED?

🟣 PURPLE RAIN
A fallout and iron contamination remover. Use it to tackle embedded ferrous contamination from areas such as paintwork and wheels. Spray onto the appropriate cool surface, allow it to react and rinse thoroughly. Don’t allow it to dry.

🟠 MAGIFOAM
The snow foam stage. Apply through your foam lance and cover the vehicle from top to bottom. Allow it to dwell and loosen dirt before thoroughly pressure rinsing. This helps remove as much contamination as possible before physically touching the paintwork.

🟢 JUST THE TONIC
For tackling stubborn tar and adhesive contamination that normal washing can leave behind. Apply as directed to affected areas and allow it to work before safely removing the dissolved contamination and rinsing/cleaning the area.

🟡 DECON SHAMPOO
Once the heavier contamination has been dealt with, give the vehicle a thorough contact wash using Decon Shampoo. Work panel by panel using your normal safe-wash method and rinse thoroughly.

🔴 CITRUS WASH
A concentrated citrus pre-cleaner that’s brilliant for tackling road grime, traffic film, bugs and dirt. Dilute it to suit the level of cleaning required, apply to cool surfaces, allow a short dwell and pressure rinse thoroughly. Do not allow the product to dry on the vehicle.

🧽 A GOOD DECONTAMINATION ROUTINE

Start with Citrus Wash to attack general road grime and traffic film, followed by Magifoam to soften and lift further dirt before contact washing.

After rinsing, carry out your safe contact wash with Decon Shampoo.

Once the vehicle is clean, you can properly assess what’s still bonded to the surfaces. Use Purple Rain for iron/fallout contamination and Just The Tonic where you have stubborn tar or adhesive deposits.

Thoroughly rinse/clean the vehicle after the chemical decontamination stages.

Once complete, your paintwork should be far cleaner and properly prepared for the next stage – whether that’s clay where necessary, machine polishing, waxing, sealing or applying a ceramic coating. ✨

⚠️ Always work on cool surfaces, follow the individual product instructions and never allow cleaning chemicals to dry on the vehicle.
