I am switching my product regiment up a little bit and I'm replcaing my powerlock with some opti seal. I also learned opti seal can be applied to the interior but I planned to use PERL for that already.

My question is you think I could lay the opti seal first (since it lasts longer) and then use some PERL over that for like a maintenance/topper. Basically how I do it with my paint, opti seal/power lock base coating and always use beadmaker when washing at the drying stage.

What do you think? Or is 2 overkill.

I’d save your opti seal for your paint. You layer products for added protection and looks. Not too much to damage your interior inside and perl lools great.

Okay yeah, anyway PERL should last a nice time like a month I assume since it's on the inside.

I’ve used PERL on the inside. Once. Never again. It’s too shiny for my liking (I diluted it 1:5) and it’s also a product that doesn’t smell great. I love PERL on the tires but that’s the only place I’ll use it.

For the inside I like the clean look, not dressed. So I’ve been happy with McKee’s 37 Fast Interior Detailer which also happens to be the best smelling product ever.

Interesting. I love PERL smell and also I figured at 1:5 it wouldn't be to shiny considering 1:1 isn't that shiny on tires.

IMO:
It’s one or the other; not both.



I also learned opti seal can be applied
to the interior but I planned to use PERL
for that already.

I was going to suggest Opti-Seal.

:idea:
Try Perl on one door card, and Opti-Seal
on another one. See which one you prefer.

I haven’t used in a while but remember liking it. Eraser smells great too. I mixed a little over 1:5. Wasn’tmatte.... wasn’tarmor all shiny.

I use PBL vinyl and leather with some 303 everyonce in a while.

Might be different for another car. I applied it to my wife’s previous car, a Honda Fit, and it came out too shiny for my liking. Thankfully I didn’t try it first on my GTI.
