Rhino Shine Heavy Duty Pre-Wash is a highly concentrated alkaline cleaner developed to remove stubborn road grime, traffic film, and grease from exterior surfaces. Designed for professional use, this formula delivers powerful cleaning performance where standard citrus-based products fall short. It is the ideal solution for vehicles exposed to heavy contamination or long maintenance intervals.
This product is free from waxes, glossing agents, or fragrance. It is built purely for cleaning power, with a formulation that foams lightly when agitated to help lift dirt away from the surface. It can be applied touchless or with a brush depending on the job, and it performs reliably across a wide range of conditions.
Rhino Shine Heavy Duty Pre-Wash is supplied as a green-blue concentrate and can be diluted from ten to one for maximum strength or up to thirty to one for lighter tasks. It is typically applied using a pump sprayer but can also be added to a snow foam solution to boost performance. The formula is effective on paintwork, wheels, wheel arches, engine bays, and other exterior surfaces where heavy grime builds up.
While it is safe for semi-regular use, it is a stronger pre-wash and should be used with care on waxed or sealed vehicles. It will strip most traditional waxes and sealants, and while it is generally safe on ceramic coatings, testing on a small area is advised if protection durability is a concern.
Dilute the product to suit the level of contamination. For general use, mix at ten to one. For lighter maintenance work, dilution up to thirty to one can be used.
Apply using a pump sprayer for targeted coverage. Ensure the vehicle surface is cool and out of direct sunlight. Spray evenly across affected areas, including paintwork, lower panels, wheels, arches, and engine bays. Allow the product to dwell for three to five minutes. Do not allow it to dry on the surface.
For maximum effectiveness, agitate with a detailing brush where needed. For maintenance use, the product can also be added to your snow foam solution to boost overall cleaning power.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water from top to bottom. Repeat on heavily soiled areas if required.
Rhino Shine Heavy Duty Pre-Wash is suitable for most exterior automotive surfaces including painted finishes, clear coats, wheel faces, arches, and engine bay components. It is not intended for use on unprotected matte finishes or delicate trim without testing first.
This product may remove waxes and sealants and should be used with caution on protected surfaces. While generally safe for ceramic coatings, testing on a small area is advised. Avoid contact with hot panels or direct sunlight and do not allow the product to dry.
Always dilute according to task and store in a cool, dry environment with the cap securely closed.
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.
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.
