Review: CarPro PERL

[hooked]

Guilty as charged. I think the thread that I came across had something to do with boob jobs.

Actually, it was something that I read when I first started getting into detailing regarding certain tire and trim products that contained silcon(e) and were actually bad for the surfaces that they were meant to protect.

Thanks for the reassurances.

COREEEEYYYYY! I bought PERL. Can't wait to try it.

Anyone know if there is any risk in applying PERL 1:1 to interior trim?

No risk, you can play with the ratios as you wish for your desired look and ease of application.

So far so good Corey. I have a 99 Saturn Sl2 and it darkened the dash to a level I haven't seen in years. I have it mixed at 4:1 and it took 3 coats to get it to a richness I liked. The bimmer is next!

I tried it on my girlfriends tires, one coat looked great nice and black. Two coats looked fantastic!

It really offers a rich dark look eh?! Thanks for sharing your experience!

On exterior trim and tires (used full strength) the appearance diminishes just as fast as other products I've used. However, looking at the way the water is beading, it looks like the protection is still there even after a couple of months of car washes.

I've noticed the same Charlie, it seems on faded trim you see the dullness return before the protection has ended. I have had mixed results depending on the plastic though. Most of the windshield cowls for instance seem to stay dark for about a month.

I should have gotten the 1 liter size rather than than the 500ml size! I applied one coat to my DD 10 days ago and it still looks great. Nice and black with very little shine - just right. This coming weekend, I'll apply two more coats.

Corey, thanks for the great review that pushed me in the right direction!

Regards,

Dan.
