The Pinnacle Black Label line of products is a premium line offering best-in-class performance in each category of car care. Before now, there was not a dedicated tire cleaner so PBL fans had to use product outside the PBL family. No more, now there's a dedicated tire cleaner in the PBL line.
How-To
I don't do mock-up very well as I tend to be honest with what I write and what I say. So the only way I can write a review for a product is to also use it. I see a lot of mock-up detailers now days and all I can say as I've been in this industry for the long run and I'm not going away. With that said, I had a customer that wanted his wife's Corvette detailed, specifically he wanted the paint washed, clayed and waxed. Part of a proper exterior detail job also includes washing the wheels and tires. Ever since I started detailing I've been trying to change the box store companies and their regular advice of starting at the top and then working your way down when it comes to washing a car.
It's obvious anyone that would say that is not a true detailing enthusiast as they would know following this advice leads to either water spots on our car's paint or wasting step.
Me? For I teach and practice the common sense approach and that is start with wheel and tires and then go to the top and work your way down. So here's me using the new tire cleaner on the tires of this 2014 Corvette Stingray. And I will say this, whatever they are using for a tire dressing it's some tough stuff.

Review
This was a good test for this tire cleaner. Whatever the tire dressing was on the tire it was on there good. 2 well worked applications removed the dressing and the tire browning. This is what you want and the reason why is so you can apply fresh tire dressing. You don't want to apply new tire dressing over old tire dressing. At least that's how I roll.
Besides being strong enough to remove someone other companies tire dressing just as nice it doesn't stink. Some tire cleaners work great but I can't stand the smell. It's also safe on wheels and wheel calipers and this is really important especially when working on someone else's car!
If you're a PBL fan and/or looking for a safe but effective tire cleaner, then check out the Pinnacle Black Label Tire Cleaner Gel.
