Abstract: The present invention relates to a rim or hub shield for protecting a rim of a tire from harmful tire cleaning solutions. The rim shield features a round body having a slightly concave contour, an exterior surface and a concave interior surface, and a pair of oval cut-outs around the center of the shield allowing a user to grip the device. The shield includes a pair of pockets for storing cleaning supplies and other accessories. The shield can be placed against the rim using one hand while cleaning can be performed using the other hand. Alternatively, the shield can be securely placed around the rim by securing a protrusion along the periphery of the shield around the rim of the tire.
