Anyone ever try Carpro PERL with Leather? Just found out it works on it and was wondering if it's similar in effect to Gyeon Leather coat.

Have a bottle of PERL lying around so figured if it works safely on leather and similar to leather coat, I'd give it a try.
 
The L in the name is for leather so the product is designed for that. But I've never tried using it on leather. Or anything other than tire. I just think it may end up sticky or glossy and I don't want that. I works great on the tires though.

As much as I like PERL I really don't want to sit on it. I also strongly prefer the smell of leather cleaner/conditioners to PERL for the inside.

For the tires though, PERL is my favorite with silk shine a close second. I like cutting them w water for the matte clean look.

The acronym is Plastic, Engine, Rubber, Leather?

It works fine on Leather. Does not feel sticky or anything like that once it’s leveled out and any excess is buffed off. Had no issues when I tried it. It does darken the leather from what I recall.

Give it a try and see if you like it.

Gyeon Leather Coat in my experience is better in that it attracts less dirt in between cleanings. Also goes on matte so no noticeable change in appearance.
 
I have used it 1:5 on leather and then buffed and it seemed to work well. Full strength it was a bit too dark for me.
 
It works but at what cost? it smells so gross

CarPro just posted this on one of their social media pages from someone who used it on the interior.

It is not this glossy when used. It can be knocked down even more with a microfiber towel.

It looks like it would be slimy after application, like a tire dressing.

I’ve used it on my interior door panels a few times. It dries to the touch. I had it diluted 2:1 though, for whatever that’s worth.

Not slimy whatsoever. The flash from a camera or lighting seems to make it appear that way.

It does to the touch as mentioned. I use it at 1:5.

Also dries to the touch on tires as 1:1.

If it’s not that glossy, then what product was actually used in that pic?

Yeah if your gonna use it on interior should dilute at least 2-1. If you think it’s to glossy cut it some more. I usually start strong in my dilutions mixing it up in 75% of bottle leaving room to cut product even more if necessary till I find right dilution for purpose I’m using.

I will use PERL on interior vinyl at the 5:1 dilution. Nice satin look to sun faded and dried out vinyl.
 
Thanks for all the replies. I figured since I had a bottle of PERL lying around unused and read it can be used on leather, I'd try it on the Nuluxe fake leather in my Lexus lol. Though if it does smell like crap, maybe I should just get a small bottle of gyeon leather coat instead
 
I like it too. Gives a clean look and dry to touch.
