Yes, every product in the Rhino Shine range is developed in house. We work closely with professional chemists and industry consultants, but every formula is unique to us and created from scratch. We do not believe in white labelling or rebadging generic products. Our goal has always been to create something better than what was already out there, and that means taking full control of the formulation process from day one.
Our entire product line is created by Sam Huck, the founder of Rhino Shine, in collaboration with our Technical Director and their team of chemists. Sam brings real world experience from years in the detailing industry, and that insight drives every product decision. The chemistry is refined in the lab, but the standard is always set in the field. Every product is designed to solve real detailing problems with precision and reliability.
Absolutely. Our products are used by professionals every day, but they are also ideal for home users who want premium results without needing commercial equipment. Every bottle includes straightforward instructions, recommended dilution ratios, and safety guidance. Whether you are running a detailing business or maintaining your own pride and joy at home, Rhino Shine is made to give you professional results with confidence.
Some products in our range contain waxes or silicone-based ingredients, and others do not. It depends entirely on what the product is designed to do. For example, certain dressings and protectants may contain silicone to enhance gloss and durability, while cleaners and shampoos are often silicone free. We believe in transparency, so every product page on our website includes a Technical Specifications section where you can quickly see whether a product contains silicone.
We do not recommend mixing our products with those from other brands. Each Rhino Shine product is designed and tested to work as part of a complete system. Using other products alongside ours may reduce effectiveness or cause unexpected results. While there is nothing inherently dangerous about mixing brands, we cannot guarantee performance or compatibility unless the full process is done using Rhino Shine products as intended.
Wherever possible, our products are highly concentrated. This gives you better value and more control over your process. Each bottle is clearly labelled to indicate whether it is ready to use or concentrated. If it is concentrated, the label and product page will tell you exactly how to dilute it and for which applications. This flexibility allows both professionals and enthusiasts to tailor the product to the task at hand.
Our range includes both pH neutral and alkaline products, depending on their purpose. For example, our snow foam and shampoo are pH neutral and safe for regular use on all finishes, including ceramic coatings. On the other hand, certain pre-washes and heavy-duty cleaners are alkaline to provide extra cleaning power when it is needed. Each product page includes pH information under Technical Specifications so you can make informed choices based on your vehicle and the job.
We add colour and fragrance to selected products, but always with purpose and balance. Fragrance makes the products more pleasant to use, especially when working in enclosed spaces, and colour helps quickly identify what is in the bottle. However, we are not interested in excessive gimmicks. If a product is brightly coloured or strongly scented, there is a reason. If it is clear and fragrance free, that is intentional too. We keep things practical and professional.
Our packaging is designed to reflect the same standard as what is inside the bottle. All of our bottles are made using a minimum of thirty percent recycled plastic, and we source our packaging from UK manufacturers wherever possible. The design is clean, durable, and easy to use. We avoid over-complication and focus on functionality, clarity, and sustainability. Every bottle is built to handle the demands of regular use, whether in a workshop or at home.
Rhino Shine products should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid letting them freeze or overheat, as extreme temperatures can affect the stability of the formula. If a product separates or begins to look unusual, do not use it and contact us for advice. Always make sure lids and caps are closed tightly after use, and store bottles upright wherever possible to avoid leakage or contamination.
Every Rhino Shine product has been designed to be user-friendly and deliver consistent results whether you are working at home or in a professional setting. Simply follow the instructions on the bottle for guidance on how to apply, how long to leave it, and whether it needs to be rinsed or wiped. Always work on one section at a time, avoid applying to hot surfaces, and where possible, use clean microfibre cloths, brushes, or applicators to get the most out of each product.
Some products are ready to use, while others are concentrated and need to be diluted. The front of every Rhino Shine bottle clearly states whether the product is concentrated or ready to go straight from the bottle. If a product requires dilution, we include the recommended ratio on the label and the product page to make it as simple as possible. If you are ever unsure, always check the Technical Specifications or drop us a message.
Each product that requires dilution includes the correct ratio printed clearly on the label. We also list dilution instructions in the Technical Specifications on the product page. Most products allow some flexibility depending on the task — for example, a stronger mix for heavily soiled areas or a lighter dilution for maintenance work. If you are unsure what strength to use for a particular job, we are always happy to advise.
Yes, most Rhino Shine products are designed to work perfectly with pump sprayers and trigger bottles. These application methods offer great control and coverage, making them ideal for both professionals and enthusiasts. Always check the label and product page to confirm suitability. Some products are best applied directly to the surface, while others benefit from even misting across larger areas. Use quality equipment where possible to get the best results from the product.
Where possible, we recommend applying our products to cool panels and out of direct sunlight. This helps prevent premature drying or streaking, especially with concentrated products. That said, many of our formulas have been tested for real-world conditions and will perform well even in warmer weather. If you do need to apply in the sun, just work in smaller sections and never let the product dry on the surface.
Each product has its own dwell time based on what it is designed to do. You will find guidance printed on the bottle and on the product page under Application Instructions. As a general rule, never let the product dry on the surface. If the panel is warm or the weather is hot, work in smaller sections and remove sooner. For pre-washes and cleaners, a dwell time of one to five minutes is usually ideal, while dressings or protectants may need a little longer to cure before being wiped down or left to dry.
Our product labels and instructions will always tell you whether a product should be rinsed, wiped, or left to cure. Cleaners, degreasers, and pre-washes should almost always be rinsed after use. Quick detailers, dressings, and interior protectants are often designed to be wiped to an even finish or left to cure naturally. If you are ever unsure, follow the usage instructions on the bottle or check the Technical Specifications section online. Applying the product correctly is key to getting the best performance.
Yes, many of our products are safe for use on matte and satin finishes, including wrapped vehicles. However, always check the individual product page first, as anything with gloss-enhancing properties or protective waxes may not be suitable for those surfaces. If you are unsure, test the product on a small, inconspicuous area before full application or reach out to us and we will happily confirm.
Most of our products are safe to use on ceramic coated vehicles, and some are specifically designed to help maintain coatings without degrading them. pH neutral shampoos and snow foams are ideal for coated cars, and our detailers and top-ups will sit perfectly on top of ceramic layers. For anything high-strength or alkaline, use as directed and only when necessary. If in doubt, check the product page or ask us for tailored advice based on your coating.
Yes, you can use most Rhino Shine products indoors or in enclosed areas like garages and detailing bays, provided the space is well ventilated. We do not use overpowering scents or unnecessary solvents, so indoor use is generally safe and comfortable. However, always follow label guidance and wear protective gloves if required. If you are using sprayers or atomisers, make sure there is airflow to avoid product buildup in the air.
Yes, while most Rhino Shine products are safe for a wide range of surfaces, some are designed for specific applications and should not be used universally. For example, strong alkali cleaners may not be suitable for soft plastics, polished metals, or delicate trims. Always read the label and product page carefully, especially for more powerful products. When in doubt, test on a small hidden area first or contact us directly for guidance.
Absolutely. Many of our products are perfect for regular maintenance. Our snow foams, shampoos, quick detailers, and interior cleaners are all safe to use weekly or as often as needed. We have designed the range to include both deep-cleaning products and lighter maintenance options, so you can build a routine that suits your car and your standards. Regular use will help protect your vehicle and make each clean quicker and easier.
Preparation and technique make all the difference. Start with a clean surface, follow the product instructions carefully, and use high-quality cloths, pads, or brushes. Work in manageable sections, avoid direct sunlight, and never let the product dry unless it is designed to cure. Rinse or wipe off thoroughly where required, and store your products correctly to keep them performing at their best. If you are ever unsure about a method or product, we are here to help.
For most of our products, gloves are not essential but are strongly recommended, especially if you have sensitive skin or will be using multiple chemicals in one session. Always wear gloves when using concentrated products or strong cleaners. We also recommend using eye protection when spraying in confined spaces or when working above shoulder height. Safety information is printed on every bottle, so always check before use.
Yes, but only the products that are intended for those areas. Our range includes formulas specifically made for interiors, such as leather cleaners and interior dressings, and others that are made for exterior use only, like wheel cleaners and pre-washes. Never use exterior products inside the vehicle unless the label clearly says they are safe for multi-surface use. When in doubt, stick to the intended use or ask us for advice.
