    Car Pro Perl questions

    I'm looking for a multi use product, so I am considering perl. I'm thinking I want something for my dash, VW V Tex seats, and tires. Interior seems clear to use the 1:5 dilution, but what is the suggestion on tires? I am looking for a medium shine on tires.

    Any general inout out on perl is certainly appreciated.

    Re: Car Pro Perl questions

    1:1 works really well on tires (what i personally like and use it at). if you want a low matte sheen, 3:1 or perhaps maybe 2:1 though i've never tried it at that dilution. keep in mind as you drive like any dressing, it will start to wear down. btw, i love PERL and recently just bought another bottle. it's my favorite water based dressing...

    ^^^I'm with this guy! I usually always use it 1:1 on tires. Looks great IMO.

    Using 1:4 dilution on my tires. Gives just a slight clean shine. Ordered another 500ml bottle last week.

    I bought a 1 Litre. I love this stuff.

    1:1 on tires, and if you wash often you can boost it with 1:3 or 1:5 and get back your shine so you don't waste product. 1:1 is not needed everytime unless you go long periods without re-application. I think you will like this product. It's my favorite water dressing also.

    PERL is a great product and will have your needs covered depending on dilution ratio.

    I like it straight on tires, 1:1 on plastics, and 1:5 on interior.
