Meguiars Hyper Dressing Question

[Setec Astronomy]

use to use hyper dressing, opti-bond and a few other water based dressings until I tried PERL and have never looked back...

Isn't Perl a water based dressing also? It's got the same main ingredient as Hyper Dressing (they both show it as 40-70%, so who knows what the actual is). The difference seems to be that Perl has a small amount of trade secret silane in it, which I'm guessing is what makes the world of difference between the two.

I have a little sample bottle I bought I haven't gotten around to trying it yet.

The main difference is price! I like PERL, but there's no way I'd be spraying wheel wells liberally with it and walking away. At that price I dab it on a rag and do rubber window seals and other smooth trim with it, not much else.

Hyper Dressing is also a great (cheap) engine dressing, too. Maybe not Sonus Motor Kote good, but still very good. And on wheel well liners it's truly SOWA.

I've used both on the engine bay. I don't like motor kote. It dried spotted. Hyper dressing dries uniformly except for a little build-up in a corner.

Ive not used Optibond or PERL.

Between the Meguiar's products
Tires & Trim only - Go for the T&T gel no question
Tires, wheel wells, interior dressing, engines - Use the Hyper Dressing you will be very happy.

Hyper dressing is my go to for engines and wheel wells. I like it at 4:1

hyper dressing or perhaps water based dressing (d-line) are great for the wells (even the engine too) and isn't very expensive when you stretch the product, but I prefer PERL for the tires/trim. i bought a gallon of the water based dressing and only use it for the wells for only that purpose since it was so cheap...

Is this going to be for personal use or for clients?

Das: Those look SWEET! I love the HD at 4:1 and 3:1!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant beat the low gloss look (I also agree that the longevity isnt great)

Guz, personal use. Im now leaning eavily on Opti, for the price, and size, compared to D163

[The Guz]

I actually like D163. I just used it on Friday on my daily driver. I average about 3 weeks before reapplying. I've pushed it as long as 4 weeks.

Hope these photos help you out.

Here it is after application. This is 1 coat.





This is 2 coats on my camaro
