I have been using Carpro perl on my tiers and trim. Mixing to what car pro ratios. After the product wheres off it leaves a white residue on my tires and trim. I do wash my tires with Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner - D10101 full strength. but i dont wash the mud flaps with OPC. What could cause this. So far not very impressed with perl


 
It looks as if some of the dye/dressing properties are still on are still left on the tire, try using the product straight it also can be the tire itself
 
Looks to me like those white letters may be losing some of there coloring on the tire (note how it is stronger around the lettering). The letters look pretty beat up, some curb rubbing damage perhaps? I have used PERL on multiple sets of tires and never had such an issue.
 
Sayroger, I had the same problem with the plastic and tires on a Mini Cooper i applied Perl to. I was so upset with the outcome. I used the product just like recommended and applied in my garage. I switched to Carpro Perl after I had the exact same issue with solution finish on a Infinity SUV's plastic. Although Solution Finish didn't milk the plastic as bad as perl I was upset with both products. I would like a answer also.
 
just use Perl undiluted on tyres, will see if i have same problem...
 
Ok idk you have something weird going on there. How did you apply it? Was it diluted?
 
I wiped it on them wiped it off. looked good until it gets washed off. I can't see using it full strength if it does diluted. any suggestions
 
Sorry to interrupt, though did you allow it to soak in for atleast 5 mins it may not be require but I does it anyway
 
I tried cleaning with d1010 full strength with stiff brush but when it dries the white comes back. even on the tires mixed 1:1 it leaves them white when the tires get wet.
 
I guess I will be making a phone to car pro in the morning. LOL ( I will be nice. I am sure they tell me how to fix this)
 
I see, and while you stated your tires are clean, the only other two things I can suggest is deep clean them by wiping then down with IPA wipe or Carpro Eraser or after heavily debating in like 20 years the old school brass brush

P.S you may have a defective product too
 
I'm sure Corey will go above and beyond and provide you with a great solution as he always does.

That said I have one more question what color is the towel you are wiping down with? And personally I have never had to rewipe PERL after application. And if I did I would give it like 20 minutes before I did.
 
try use it undilute and let dry for 30 mins.
i had experience APC done that to rubber texture material but not dressing :)
 
Update on my white mud flaps. Calling car pro and what we kinda figured out was the tires and trim had a oil base product on it before i applied the PERL cause it to repel the PERL even though i cleaned tires with d1010 full strength and only using the car soap the clean the mud flaps it let oil on the tires and mud flaps. I have deep clean to remove oil from the area first. My mistake on this one Sorry.
