Rhino Shine Non-Acidic Wheel Cleaner is a powerful, concentrated alkaline cleaner developed to tackle the toughest wheel and tyre contamination without the risks associated with acidic products. Built for professional-level performance, this formula cuts through brake dust, road grime, and traffic film with ease, while remaining safe for regular use on all wheel finishes.
This product does not rely on colour-changing additives or gimmicks. It is clear, unscented, and designed purely for cleaning power. When agitated, it produces a rich foam that clings to the surface and lifts contamination from the face of the wheel and deep into the barrel. It is also highly effective on tyres, making it an excellent pre-treatment before applying tyre dressing.
Supplied as a concentrate, the product can be diluted depending on the level of contamination. At its strongest recommended dilution of 15:1, it provides serious cleaning performance that rivals harsher products while maintaining surface safety. It is safe for use on ceramic-coated wheels and is compatible with all common finishes including painted, polished, diamond cut, satin, and chrome.
Rhino Shine Non-Acidic Wheel Cleaner is trusted by valeters, detailers, and enthusiasts alike. It is a standout in the range, known for its no-nonsense performance, consistent results, and ability to handle both wheels and tyres in a single process.
Dilute the product at a minimum of 15:1 depending on the task. For heavy contamination, use at full strength within the recommended ratio. For lighter maintenance cleaning, adjust accordingly.
Spray generously onto the surface of the wheel and tyre. Allow to dwell for up to one minute, avoiding direct sunlight or hot panels. Agitate with a wheel brush, soft detailing brush, or tyre scrubbing tool as required. The product will foam on contact and lift embedded grime, brake dust, and rubber residue.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water or pressure wash from top to bottom. Do not allow the product to dry on the surface.
Repeat as necessary on heavily contaminated areas.
Rhino Shine Non-Acidic Wheel Cleaner is safe for use on all standard wheel finishes, including painted, clear-coated, polished, diamond cut, satin, and chrome. It is suitable for ceramic-coated wheels and will not degrade coatings when used at the correct dilution.
It is also effective on tyres and can be used as a preparation step before applying tyre dressing. Do not use this product on vehicles fitted with ceramic brakes.
Avoid prolonged contact with uncoated aluminium or delicate aftermarket finishes. If unsure, test in an inconspicuous area before full application. Do not apply to hot wheels or in direct sunlight. Always rinse thoroughly after use and store in a cool, dry environment with the cap sealed.
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.
