    CarPro PERL Review!

    The other day I was working on a 2011 Ford Mustang which has a lot of black trim that will fade over time if you do not protect it. I wanted to apply something that would go on easy without leaving streak marks on the trim. After looking at some Trim protectants I decided to go with CarPro PERL Coat Plastic & Rubber Protectant. CarPro PERL Coat Plastic & Rubber Protectant can be used on multiple surface such as rubber, plastic and even leather. CarPro PERL Coat Plastic & Rubber Protectant can be used on leather to help prevent cracking. CarPro PERL Coat Plastic & Rubber Protectant will protect your trim or rubber up to 3 months of protection. When applying the CarPro PERL Coat Plastic & Rubber Protectant I used a Pinnacle Foam Wax Applicator. The first area I decided to test the CarPro PERL Coat Plastic & Rubber Protectant on was the rocker panels.





    After applying the CarPro PERL Coat Plastic & Rubber Protectant is was easy to see the difference on an area that was coated and one that was not. After I let the CarPro PERL Coat Plastic & Rubber Protectant sit for about five minutes I can back out to rub my hand over the trim that was coated and to my surprise it did not leave a greasy feeling at all.After having great success with the Rocker panel I decided to Coat the rest of the plastic on the car. When applying the CarPro PERL Coat Plastic & Rubber Protectant I noticed it went on very thin and it also spread out very easily which in my opinion makes it a cost effective product.

    Was it diluted or strait up?

    I tried it at the recommended dilution ratio and thought it looks better without diluting it all since some of the trim was in bad shape.

    Looking Good!

    Mind updating this thread over the next couple of months to comment on durability , color staying dark or starting to fade.

    Would nice to see this trim in say 2 or 3 months after different weather, washes etc..


    Thanks for the Review

    Bryan, let me give you a little idea, take the trim and spread it on an applicator and apply with a small paint brush, then rub it in. I do the same with opti bond gel and it comes out really nicely

    Great review Bryan. I have been using PERL regularly on my Dodge Ram. 1:1 for tires and 3:1 for interior and tonneau cover. It really is a great and versatile product.
