Looking for feedback on Carpro PERL dressing

Has anyone used Carpro PERL? Ease of use? Longevity?

Thanks

I can personally say it does not work well on smooth rubber or plastic surfaces. It looks great, until it gets wet. It spots and runs. I was using it diluted 1:1. Avi confirmed this and said because it has no solvents, it is difficult for it to bond correctly to these surfaces and recommended I apply it straight. I have not done this yet as I ordered a bottle of UTTG.

I agree, on non-porous surfaces it doesn`t like to `stick`. That said, on porous plastic I am liking it a lot. A very natural look, long lasting, nice and hydrophobic. It lasts decently long on tires, too.

I keep forgetting to try it out on the tires.... I`m gonna do a refresh on my car today or tomorrow, I`ll give it a shot.

I tried it out on my tires on my van and on my wifes VW.... at 1:1 ratio as it states to use it.

When it rained it turned the tires brown and looked like crap!!! I`ve used a lot of different water based tire dressings and this is the only one that has done it. Kind of sucks
