10:1 is perfect
Solution All-Purpose Cleaner - Gallon
Also available in:
ONE CLEANER. EVERY SURFACE.
Solution is a heavy-duty all-purpose cleaner that lifts road film, tire residue, and interior grime through emulsification. It loosens dirt rather than burning it like your standard degreaser. Dilute it down for interior work, run it mid-strength for wheels and engine bays, or full strength for heavy degreasing. One bottle, every job.
- Emulsifying Formula: Surfactants and chelating agents loosen dirt at the molecular level.
- Fully Dilutable: Mix to match the job. 10:1 for light interior cleaning and paint prep. 4:1 for wheels, tires, rubber, fender wells, and most engine bay or undercarriage work. 1:1 only when 4:1 isn't enough. Heavy degreasing on caked grease, dried mud, or undercarriages that haven't seen soap in years.
- Multi-Surface Coverage: Cleans leather, vinyl, plastics, tires, wheels, undercarriage, engines, and paint.
- Concentrate Format: One gallon mixes down into a lot of bottles. Built for shop use and serious DIY.
- Not For: Sensitive interior surfaces or high-end interior work. For those, we recommend our Leather & Interior Cleaner to be safe.

How to Use
Method 1: Interior Cleaning (10:1)
- Dilute 1 part Solution with 10 parts water in a Shine Supply 32oz spray bottle.
- Spray Solution directly onto a microfiber towel or The Bristle Boss. Never spray directly onto an interior surface.
- Wipe or agitate the surface.
- Wipe clean with a fresh microfiber towel. Don't let it dry.
Method 2: Paint Prep (10:1)
- Dilute 1 part Solution with 10 parts water in a Shine Supply 32oz spray bottle.
- Pre-rinse the panel with water.
- Spray Solution directly onto the panel.
- Agitate if needed, then rinse off completely. Don't let it dry.
Method 3: Wheels, Tires & Rubber (4:1)
- Dilute 1 part Solution with 4 parts water.
- Spray directly onto wheels, tires, rubber floor mats, or fender wells.
- Agitate with The Palm Pro for the wheel and The Tire Tamer for the tire.
- Rinse thoroughly with water. Don't let it dry.
Method 4: Engine Bays & Undercarriage (4:1)
- Dilute 1 part Solution with 4 parts water. This is the standard strength for most engine bay and undercarriage cleaning when surfaces aren't caked with grease or mud.
- Spray directly onto the engine bay or undercarriage.
- Agitate with The Bristle Boss for engine bay work or The Reacher for undercarriage.
- Rinse thoroughly with water. Don't let it dry.
Method 5: Heavy Degreasing (1:1)
- Dilute 1 part Solution with 1 part water. Reserve this strength for the heaviest jobs. Caked engine grease, dried mud knockdown, neglected undercarriages, or anything 4:1 won't touch.
- Spray onto the affected area.
- Agitate with The Bristle Boss or The Reacher.
- Rinse thoroughly. Don't let it dry. It's critical at this strength.
Detailer Tips
- Start at the weakest dilution that gets the job done. Most engine and undercarriage work is a 4:1 job, not a 1:1 job.
- Don't ever let it dry.
- Always test on fragile or high-end interior surfaces first.
- Grab three Shine Supply 32oz bottles and pre-dilute one at 10:1, one at 4:1, and one at 1:1. Use colored tape to label and differentiate them.

I use it every detail probably my most used chemical
Great product, use it on a variety of surfaces and it gets them spotless every time!
Good
Removed dirt, grease, and all other debris with ease 🙏🏽🔥
Amazing
Overall a great APC and have used it on many surfaces to guarantee a clean vehicle 🔥
Solution is great! I purchased solution for a safe alternative for a tire cleaner. Cleans the tire well and does not break the bank. Best of it all, Shine Supplys customer service rocks! Transit company damaged the box and material was lost and Shine Supply made it right and sent extra solution to them. Was not their fault and they still made it right!
I’ve been using Shine Supply products for nearly 6 years and I have never been disappointed! Solution is my go to cleaner! I don’t use anything else in my detailing shop!!
Solution is probably my number 1 pick from shine supply. Extremely versatile can be used on multiple things. Does its job well not to expensive. If you don’t know where to get started Solution is a good pick.
Works on anything and for everything. Whenever i run into an issue of not getting something off or cleaned. This is the way to go, it will satisfy you and make you think your professional.
Solution just replaced my APC needs. From engine bays, undercarriage to tires, this stuff does it all without burning out the plastics and rubber pieces. Minimal effort and a high pay off. My only complaint is I didn’t try out sooner.
I don’t even have words for how much I love this product, solution is the solution. Love you guys! Thanks for taking care of a brother
Best all around cleaner! Really tackled the tuff wheel well build up I always struggled to clean.
Solution is great I’ve been using it as my wheel cleaner as well as tire cleaner and both work phenomenal
So good
Solution makes cleaning dirty services 10 times easier. I am able to use it on many surfaces, whether its interior or exterior cleaning. Overall I give solution a 10/10. I loved this product so much that I just ordered a gallon of it! Thanks, Lex Fell
It works Amazing!

Works awesome on wheels and tires!
We’ve been with Shine Supply for years. Great products and great people!
product does exactly what it’s supposed to, great stuff !
Worked great removing stains out of carpet and cleaning interior
Solution is your SOLUTION to everything. My favorite is 4:1 for undercarriage
i love this all purpose cleaner for interiors and engine bays.
Solution is my go to for everything!
This is the best I have used
Detail a new to us Jeep. Solution is a beast cleaned the engine bay and made it look new!
Hands down the best all purpose cleaner on the market especially for exterior plastics. Would highly recommend pairing it with the Hot Shot soap for a flawless end result
Used this to clean customers wheel well. It was covered in concrete and mud and looked very gross, solution brought it back to that factory black and very clean look even the customer was very satisfied and couldn't believe how well this product works. I live shine products. Solution is a very good product. I wont use anything else after using shine supply products
Best product I’ve found to clean floor mats even at a 10:1 dilution! Highly recommend!
Shine supply is the best!
I typically use Solution as a pre wash and as shown clean the front of this truck up so nice and cleanly.
Love it!!
I use this on everything to clean interior my tires wheels and engine bay amazing product
Brought the gloss back to the black looking more clear and not like a faded black
Solution is my go-to “do it all.” I use it on my wheels; given the fact I do have anodized aluminum wheels it works great on them while keeping them safe from chemical stains. I also use this as a prewash on all of my details and my personal details on my truck. Great all around for exterior but also a great interior cleaner when you have annoying gunk like gum, spilled drinks , etc. Solution is a great turn around for any dirty vehicle!
Works great
Solution to most of the problems, grease dressing solution will get rid of it interior or exterior
