Rhino Shine Citrus Pre-Wash is a pH balanced, concentrated solution developed to loosen and lift general road grime, traffic film, and organic contamination before contact washing. It offers excellent cleaning power without the risk of damaging waxes, sealants, or coatings, making it ideal for regular maintenance washes on protected vehicles.

Formulated with citrus-based degreasers, it delivers excellent cleaning strength while remaining surface-safe. When agitated, it produces a foam that helps lift dirt away from the panel, allowing it to be rinsed off more effectively. The bright orange-yellow formula carries a clean citrus fragrance and is completely free from gloss enhancers or protective additives.

Supplied as a concentrate, Rhino Shine Citrus Pre-Wash is typically diluted at 10:1 and applied via a pump sprayer for precise coverage. It can also be added to a snow foam solution to boost cleaning power during the pre-wash stage. It is safe for use on all vehicle exteriors and ideal for both professionals and enthusiasts who want safe, consistent performance every time.

Dilute the product at 10:1 using clean water. For a one-litre sprayer, add 100 millilitres of product to 900 millilitres of water. Shake well to mix.

Apply generously to the lower half of the vehicle and other contamination-prone areas. Allow to dwell for three to five minutes without allowing the product to dry on the surface. For additional cleaning power, agitate with a detailing brush to create foam and lift trapped dirt.

Rinse thoroughly from the top down using clean water or pressure rinse. The product can also be added to a snow foam lance to increase pre-wash cleaning efficiency when tackling more stubborn contamination.

Do not use on hot panels or in direct sunlight. Always rinse thoroughly after use.

Rhino Shine Citrus Pre-Wash is safe for use on all exterior vehicle surfaces, including paintwork, glass, wheels, plastics, trims, and rubber. It is pH balanced and will not strip waxes, sealants, or ceramic coatings when used as directed.

It is ideal for regular maintenance and safe to use on both protected and unprotected vehicles. Avoid allowing the product to dry on the surface, especially on delicate finishes or in direct sunlight.

If unsure, test on an inconspicuous area before full application. Store in a cool, dry environment and keep the cap sealed when not in use.

Citrus Pre-Wash
We are detailers
Made by Detailers, for Detailers

We started Rhino Shine because we were tired of weak, watered-down products with fancy labels and no backbone. Every formula we sell is used in our own detailing vans day in, day out. If it doesn’t work in the field, it doesn’t make it into the bottle. Simple as that.

Made in the UK
Manufactured in the UK

We don’t outsource quality. All Rhino Shine products are developed, manufactured, and bottled right here in the UK. That means tighter quality control, faster turnaround times, and the kind of consistency you can build a business on.
