I don't think I have ever seen a review of Four Star's tire dressing so here it is.

I applied the dressing on Saturday after cleaning the tires with A2Z to strip off the 3 week old Wolfgang. Used an Eagle One tire swipe to apply the dressing. It is very easy to use and actually seems to require less product than Pinnacle Black Onyx and Wolfgang Black Diamond, spreading very evenly and it does not cling to texture like the Wolfgang. I let it sit on the tires for about 30 minutes before wiping excess dressing off. After wiping the excess off the tires had a really nice, consistant sheen. While I cannot say anything about durability, this is definitely one of my favorite products for application.

BTW, it smells like bubble gum mouth wash for those that are curious.

Seems to be another quality product from Four Star. :)
 
Wow, that is a beautiful sheen. I love how the flake and paint on the wheels compliments the paint so much! And the dressing makes it look just awesome. I have to agree with you, looks like a great product!
 
Yes, additional coats increase the gloss. You may be a candidate for the NXT spray dressing. ;)
 
Not yet. I have samples of BnB and Z16 waiting to be used. Maybe once the Four Star wears beyond my liking I will try BnB on one side and Z16 on the other. :D
 
Today is day six and it rained most of the day yesterday. I am really disappointed with what I am seeing.

90% of the sheen is gone leaving just a flat black look:

This picture makes the tires look a lot nicer than they actually do:

The Pinnacle Black Oynx I put on my mom's vehicle 3, almost 4, weeks ago does not look much worse than the Four Star at 6 days. :(
 
I had similar experience, I love the look of it on the tyres, just what I wanted from a tyre dressing, not too glossy and just the right sheen, however I was disappointed with the durability. This was few months ago when I first got it, I applied on the tyres,buffed it off and I parked it under the morning sun for a couple of hours. I drove back to my flat round 1 and it was drizzling on and off along the way. When I reached my flat after 2 hours driving, the tyres had gone back to pre-dressed pale look :hurl

Maybe it was too soluble in water :dunno . If the 4* chemists tweak the dressing and make it lasts for more than a month (at least), there's little competition left, it has the right look (for me at least) with decent durability :kneel

OT: I'm currently using Z16 on the tyres and although it's water based (I was told), it's very durable even in the rain :cool
