Fresh Produce: Rhino Goo
The market for bike cleaning products is a pretty crowded one but a load of our local riders have been raving about this stuff so we thought we’d get some in and find out why…
Rhino Goo originated in the States and has amassed a great following in the MX world over there, but now it’s being made under licence here in the UK. Here’s what it looks like…
What makes it different to all the other stuff out there? Well Rhino Goo are massively proud of their pH neutral formulation which they reckon is as aluminium friendly as you can get. You can leave this stuff on for as long as you like and it will never cause damage, something which can’t be said for several other cleaners out there. It’s so gentle that you can even wash your hands with it, and it’s fully biodegradable. Despite being so ‘friendly’ it definitely delivers on the cleaning front, it’s easily as effective as anything else that we’ve used. The other point where Rhino Goo reckon they win out over the competition is in the quality of their sprayer. That might not sound like a huge bonus on the face of it but they say that it’ll last you for ages (thanks to both the quality and the fact that their cleaner doesn’t damage the seals) and so after buying your first 1 litre bottle you can save yourself money and buy the big 5 litre refill.
The guys who are making this stuff in the UK have also come up with their own product which they’re also selling under the Rhino Goo brand, and this ‘Rhino Shine’ is possibly even more impressive than the cleaner. Essentially it’s very similar to the kind of silicon spray that we’ve seen (and loved) from other companies, but this is in a simple sprayer bottle rather than an aerosol. We seem to get through aerosols in no time, but we’ve barely made a dent in this stuff. You can use it to help make your suspension silky smooth, or as you can see below you can just spray it on your bike, leave it for an hour or so to evaporate, and hey presto you’ve got one seriously shiny bike.
Here’s one slightly unloved looking top tube…
Here it is just after application (and for a full virtual reality experience you can click play and hear the quality of that sprayer).
And here’s the end result!
Apart from pulling the spray trigger not a single finger was lifted, and it’s so effective that it has even made the matt fade part of the frame shiny!

It’s already available in a few bike shops but Rhino Goo are looking to get into more so if you’re interested in distributing their products then get in touch with them.
That Rhino Shine stuff looks handy for keeping away the great northern shite build up. I assume it’s not disc brake safe…
Your assumption is right Hancock, you don’t want to be getting any silicon product anywhere near your brakes…unless you don’t fancy stopping any time soon.
My mates been selling this in Gateway Cycles in Abergavenny for some time now. He swears by the stuff!
I’ve been using this stuff for a while. The cleaner is superb and beats the others (easily). But it’s kind of hard to judge as the shine stops stuff sticking to the bike in the first place. Even my Mrs and her friends noticed how clean the bike was, during a really wet muddy ride, and how easily it washed afterwards. They’ve gone looking to buy it now, too.
I’m sold.
best on the market ive been using the stuff for over a year and its mint !
With its brake adjustment attributes, possibly this goop is the next “race secret”?
Is the actual Rhino goo cleaner safe on brakes?
Yeah Churchie, i think even your gran can wash in it.
We’ve been selling this for motocross since it came to the UK late 2010 and it’s fantastic – not one bad comment – ever!! and the Shine is even more impressive – Nice to see the Mountain Bikers are getting in to it too:)
If you can’t find it in a store try eBay – http://stores.ebay.co.uk/MX-No-7
Rhino goo and Rhino shine are the best cleaning products I have used up to date. I don,t like cleaning it usually but with rhino goo and shine there is no effort involved. Just make sure you don,t spray the rhino shine on the brakes or brake discs!Brilliant stuff!
Transporterland Honda MX Team recommend RHINO GOO and all their products,,we strive to give the best to team so they can achieve their goals and the GOO certainly delivers,,,,
Been using Rhino goo for a while now and wouldn’t use anything else,I wash my car with it all the time and the end results are staggering, water beads up and leaves the paintwork looking like its been polished, great stuff.
Been using the goo for some time now, the graphics on the bikes remain fresh and new looking. Easy to use, can see it working, cleans up mega. Would not use anything else, it’s even being used in road racing by top British superbike teams, it’s that good on aluminium.
Mohican SAS Racing have used RHINO GOO products for the last year.We have found it to be a first class product, we use it for all sorts,washing our vans, cars, dirty trainers,even motocross clothing. After 40 years in Motocross we can honestly say that its never been so easy to get bikes looking so good.
Mohican Racing’s tip of the month……… keep a bottle of Rhino Goo at home, its quality for cleaning Double Glazing, and bathrooms..
@ ed haha thanks!
First discovered Rhino Goo Back in early 2011 when following a bad experience on my previous bike with one of the biggest names out there (it removed some of the decalls from the bike after being left on for 5 mins!!) i was looking for a safe cleaning solution for my new 3 grand mountain bike. At that time it was practically unknown in MTB circles but from the first time i tried it i was blown away by how good it was and knew that it had to get into the MTB market. Since that time i have gladly promoted it throughout local bike groups and social networks on Facebook etc as i honestly believe it to be the best product on the market and above all “is” safe for your bike (plus it can be used on just about anything!! Good to see it is now getting some serious exposure in MTB circles. If you try it you will love it!!
Man I got to get me some of that…if only to hear the amazing sounds of the sprayer.
I’m using that as my ringtone now!!
This stuff is amazing! Bought some yesterday and got the bike all goo’ed up for the first time! I can confidently say I ave never seen nothing like it in my life! I spent 1 hour scrubbing my white cranks with MucOff yet still failed to remove all the dirt! I sprayed on Rhino Goo it literally ran straight off! Such an easy clean to do! Using MucOff it could take up to 3 hours to complete a clean! It took me 20 minutes with this stuff! Very very happy! The 5 litre container is superb value to! Your bike is not complete until it has seen the goo! GET SOME NOW!
What a product both the shine and the goo, 10 out of 10 this is the cleaning future
I’ve been fortunate enough to have had Rhino Goo sponsor us for the last few years (MX race team). My honest, non-biased, opinion is that it is by far the best stuff on the market. The cleaner is a genuine “cleaner” and the Rhino Shine leaves the bike looking immaculate. I have used many products before but this is by far the best product available, nothing even comes close. From bike, boots, helmets and even the camper, the Goo cleans the lot. Go on, give it a try!! U know it makes sense!!
been using the goo for over a year now and still by far the best .and now with the shine makes my bike look brand new again ……. And for some of you that don’t know they also do a RHINO WAX so you can now keep your van ,car as clean as your bike .
ALWAYS USE GOO as nothing else will do
Used rhino goo on everything best product on the market!! fact
when told about this goo stuff i thought just another gimmick (the mud just falls off) then i tryed it on my transit van and wow now i use it on my bikes van and car, well on everything now. big thanks to the rhino goo crew for this very efficient top class cleaner, it does what it says it will do….
Been using the goo for over a year now and my opinion is its the best cleaner on the market,Use it on the mx bikes my sons quad and even the car its amazing for cleaning alloy wheels gets all that ground in brake dust off aswell, Even used it on the boys trainers and football boots,All round cleaner not just a gimmick like most of the products being sold these days.
I have been using this product for over two years now and I can’t praise it enough, the best thing about rhino goo for me is that it doesn’t attack the aluminium or anodized parts of the bike (unlike all the other cleaning products). If you get a new bike and use only rhino goo to wash it with, it keeps the bike looking new for a lot longer as it doesn’t take the sheen from the plastic or any other parts. I’ve found myself using the goo for a lot of other things like cleaning the camper inside and out. Everyone that uses it says the same once you try it you won’t want to bother with any other product
I have use RHINO product for two year now ,and after been use all the other same product in the market i realise is the best by far.
We have done some test on our bike not so long a go now.
Same bike ,we have wash the bike using 3 other different Bike cleaner after 2 day riding at Mepal ,and we all well none that the sand at Mepal dos stain the bike .
Well the part of the bike using RHINO Goo was clean straight away on the part using other product we had to scrub and using more chemicals ,at the end we rewash the bike with RHINO and he was Mint then we use the RHINO SHINE and .Well i let you try to see for your self.
We even use the RHINO SHINE at the DIRT BIKE SHOW on our display tyre and work a treat .
I had some Belgian and Italian GP team stay at our warehouse and they all used Rhino goo and still using the product and all the mechanics told me is amazingly good .
For me RHINO GOO is the best on the market by far
try yourself to believe you will not be disappointed

We have been fortunate enough to be involved with Rhino Goo for a couple of years. I have been involved in Motocross for a long time and used all cleaners but Rhino is just the bollocks! Once you try Goo nothing else will do”

i must say a very big thank you to rhino goo for the awsome productd they have produced they have kept not only my 2 old motocross bikes looking like new but my car motorhome an any thing else in my sight that look lime it my need a bit of a clean so thanks again guys
Oh, I already heard and see a lot of interested people talking about this product. I was never really amused until I read this. The feat of being aluminum-friendly must be its greatest advantage! Bikes deserve a clean with these products.
i have been using this stuff since i found out that it exists and it does everything engine de grease van and caravans it know s no bounds we even use it on the kit and in with the general washing it will not be beaten for a very long time ! tried tested and works better than anything ive used in 15 years of moto x
Rhino goo works well and rhino shine is excellent the bike stays shiny and mud sticks less . The dirt is easier to wash off also
