Dissolve road grime and brighten white walls!
Four Star Ultimate Tire Cleaner Gel delivers powerful cleaning action right where your vehicle needs it most! The penetrating formula clings to the tires to dissolve heavy road grime build up. Deep clean the rubber and brighten white walls with Four Star Ultimate Tire Cleaner Gel.
Tires are the only parts of the vehicle that make contact with the road and it shows! Tires collect dirt, brake dust, exhaust film, oily residues, and more within the porous rubber. Many tire protectants build up on the rubber and turn it brown. All this takes a toll on the rubber.
Four Star Ultimate Tire Cleaner Gel deep cleans the rubber to remove road grime and old tire dressings. It erases traces of your daily commute and leaves the rubber clean and bare. When you apply fresh tire dressing to the tires, the protectant will bond better and provide a darker finish because there is nothing between it and the rubber. Four Star Ultimate Tire Cleaner Gel is petroleum distillate-free and completely safe on rubber.
Four Star Ultimate Tire Cleaner Gel is a fast acting formula that begins breaking up grime and oils on contact. The thick gel clings to the tire to penetrate and dissolve heavy build up. Agitation with a tire brush will help the cleaner get into the rubber’s pores and dissolve layers of dirt. Four Star Ultimate Tire Cleaner Gel also works well on the wheel wells. Just spray, agitate and rinse.
Four Star Ultimate Tire Cleaner Gel cleans and whitens white walls and letters, too! The clinging formula uncovers the white to restore the sharp contrast between black rubber and white lettering.
To use Four Star Ultimate Tire Cleaner Gel, simply spray one tire at a time and agitate with a medium bristle tire brush. Rinse using a strong jet of water. When cleaning fender wells, spray the entire area and agitate with a soft brush. Rinse well. Dress the tires with Four Star Ultimate Tire Protectant Spray or Gel.
Prep your vehicle’s tires for the ultimate finish with Four Star Ultimate Tire Cleaner Gel!
Test subject is the Honda Pilot that I recently detailed:

Simple process.....sprayed on the tire, let dwell for a minute, scrubbed with a Tuf Shine tire brush, and rinsed. First round:

As you can see, the suds are nice and brown and started lifting dirt away right away. Worked just as well in the wheel wells. I proceeded to go over the tires one more time:

The solution on the tires was much whiter this time and you can see the wheel well was nice and clean with minimal scrubbing.
I also used this gel on the Lincoln I recently finished which has white letter tires on it for now. Worked just as well:

Overall I liked this product quite a bit. Not a fan of the bottle and sprayer as I`ve said before, but the product worked fast, was effective, clings well to the surface it`s sprayed on, and rinses clean. I didn`t need more than 2 applications on either vehicle that I`ve used it on so far. Two thumbs up for this one
