Product Description:

Clings longer, so the clean's stronger!

Pinnacle Black Label Gel Tire Cleaner is a revolutionary tire cleaner that maximizes the amount of time the product lasts on your tire's surface, extending the cleaning potential dramatically! Thanks to the thick, viscous consistency of Pinnacle Black Label Gel Tire Cleaner,it won't simply run off like most other tire cleaners. Instead,Pinnacle Black Label Gel Tire Cleaner clings to the surface to ensure that the cleaner agents are given as much time as possible to eliminate the dirt, dust, grime, and mud from your tire's surface!Because Pinnacle Black Label Gel Tire Cleaner was formulated without the use of petroleum distillates, you can rest assured that it won' ttarnish the look of your tires. In fact, Pinnacle Black Label Gel Tire Cleaner will rejuvenate and refresh the look of your tires,restoring them back to their natural beauty!

While your entire car is constantly subjected to a constant barrage of contamination, no surface sees more of it than your tires. They are always picking road grime off the tar and oil covered pavement you drive over. Couple that with the dirt, mud, and dust that gets kicked up on to them, left to rest and gradually dull the look of your tires. And of course, the bane of every innocent and clean tire, road salt. With all of this contamination being strewn across a tire's surface, it is a wonder they don't fall off after a week! To ensure that doesn't happen, it is crucial that you clean your tires regularly, and with a quality tire cleaner like Pinnacle Black Label Gel Tire Cleaner!


Pinnacle Black Label Gel Tire Cleaner is formulated using advance cleaner agents that work quickly to breakdown common tire aliments at molecular level, making them much easier to scrub or brush off the surface.

The main feature of Pinnacle Black Label Gel Tire Cleaner that allows it to provide a level of clean that most other tire cleaners fall vastly short of is its ability to cling to the surface of your tires. If you are using a cleaner that is entirely liquid, gravity is going to work quickly to pull that cleaner down and off the surface of your tire before you are even able to grab your tire-scrubbing brush!Pinnacle Black Label Gel Tire Cleaner, however, has a thick and viscous formula that does not simply run off the surface. Because of the viscosity of Pinnacle Black Label Gel Tire Cleaner, gravity takes a much longer time to drag it down. This means that Pinnacle Black Label Gel Tire Cleaner spends more time on your tire's surface, and less time cleaning your driveway!

Petroleum distillates tend accelerate the deterioration of your tires and cause them to crack much sooner than you would typically expect. It is for this reason that Pinnacle Black Label Gel Tire Cleaner was designed without the use of petroleum distillates to ensure that you get the best look AND life out of your tires!

Directions for Use:

Spray Gel Tire Cleaner directly onto the tire's surface and allow to dwell for approximately 30-40 seconds, depending on contamination of tire.Using a medium-bristled tire brush, gently agitate the tire's surface. Rinse away using strong jet of water. Multiple applications may be needed.

This is going to be a short review.

Anew product for 2019 is the tire cleaner in the PBL line. The main selling point for this tire cleaner is being a gel to cling to the tire without running off like most tire cleaners.

I was sent the 8 oz bottle. Comes in the typical PBL bottle and sprayer.



The directions are straight forward. Spray,let dwell for 30-40 seconds and either agitate or rinse off. Of course multiple applications may be required.



I have used this product a few times. My original test was on this spare tire I have. I have no idea where ir came from but it looked like a good test subject.





Upon spraying the tire cleaner onto the tire we see instant browning. The clinging action can be seen here.



With some slight agitation with a Tuf Shine Tire Brush we see the left half cleaned up.



We went from this



To this with a two rounds of cleaning



I also used it on all four tires of this 2017 Dodge Charger. It also took two rounds of cleaning to get the tires cleaned. These were 20 inch.



Most recently I used it on my brothers 2018 Equinox to remove the previous tire gel (Gyeon Q2 Tire). In this photo they have already been dressed but it has 19 inch wheels all around.



Final thoughts:

The tire cleaner does clean well. It is pretty close to the cleaning power of Tuf Shine tire cleaner.

As seen in the video it is slightly thicker in consistency compared to other tire cleaners. The sprayer does a good job of atomizing the product. Although this particular spray bottle is not the most comfortable.

With that said the price of the product negates the performance. $25 for 8 ounces is asking a lot. It will give you about two vehicles,depending on the tire size and how dirty they are.

We all know the PBL line is a boutique line. For an enthusiast and those that are fans of the line, this will be a product to have. For the professional there are much more cost effective products that perform just as well if not better.
