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.

Holy crap I never realized the acronym mind blown!

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.

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?
