Review: CarPro PERL

This may have been asked but im looking for a trim dressing that wont run. How does Perl hold up to rain? If it rains will it run down the side of my black truck after applied to my trim?


DLUX would be more suitable for your wants

First, it is always possible with ANY product on "SOME" rare but "some" plastics it may not last as long. In any case I have never seen streaking. On most plastics and rubber you encounter you will have superior durability to other products on the market.

It holds up even better now with the new 2014 version. CarPro Improved the bond and durability with their latest tweak as they go down the line improving each product even further. For Perl, the hydrophobics and durability were improved and I would say it looks even darker then before.

If you want over a year of durability then get the CQuartz Dlux -
I'm at nearly 24 months now and it still looks good. Looked better than new for over a year.

Great review!! :dblthumb2:

Thank you!
 
Conclusions & Updates:



Interiors: PERL can be used on interior as well. After using it on my Sky I thought I wouldn’t be using it again on her just because I love the feel of UIGP but when we were out the other day I was looking at the way the PERL darkens the interior and I really like it. UIGP is still my favorite product for my Sky but PERL will be used on my Sky again in the future from time to time.


Other interiors I do PERL will probably see 50% of them. For interior products it has replaces all my other dressings except UIGP. For anyone that wants a darker look than UIGP offers I would recommend PERL. For anyone that wants the completely dry to the touch and soft cashmere feel of UIGP I would recommend that.

Just wanted to bump this and ask if you still feel this way with the new updated PERL formula, or if it has replaces UIGP for interiors?

Thanks
 
I applied Perl full strength to my truck tires a month ago. I wanted to go the 3 month advertised time, but the wheels are getting quite dirty, so a wash is going to happen. After a month, the tires are still a nice, satin black, just the way I like them.
 
What's the dilution recommendation for perl on interiors? Sorry if asked and answered.
