CARPRO Perl is a water-based SiO2 multi-use dressing designed for trim and tires.
Safe to use on all interior and exterior plastic, rubber, vinyl, and modern leather surfaces, Perl offers sophisticated UV inhibitors and an advanced waterborne acrylic-resin system to provide superior water repellency over conventional dressings.
Hydrophobic
CARPRO Perl not only dresses and restores; it also provides a very high degree of water beading effect, keeping your tires cleaner by automatically repelling dirt and soils.
Once applied, it will provide a factory OEM satin finish without being overly greasy.
Tire Cleaner
Make sure to clean your tires well and remove all the old dressing and browning before applying Darkside.
Perl restores the richness of color to faded materials, leaving behind a matte to semi-gloss finish depending on the dilution level (up to 1:5), making Perl both versatile and economical to use.
Dilute Perl with water (high number is water): External plastics: 1:3 Engine bay: 1:1 ~ 1:3 Tyres/rubber: 1:0 ~ 1:1 Interior/dash/leather: 1:5

PERL: Plastic, Engine, Rubber, Leather
PERL by CarPro is a concentrated versatile water-based, protective coating for plastics, rubber, and leather that offers tremendous UV protection. PERL is a water based dilute to suit product, covering a large array of tasking within car care. It can be used to restores the like-new appearance of hard exterior plastic surfaces and keeps them looking good with strong UV and hydrophobic protection. The sun can be damaging on flexible materials, like rubber, plastic, and leather. Gradually & over the course of time they fade & become brittle and cracked. PERL is changing the rules. PERL provides excellent protection and lasts up to three months!
Features:
UV protection: It protects against high grade UV degeneration while maintaining the supple feel and original color of treated surfaces.
Versatility: Interior Vinyl, Plastics, and Finished Leather / Exterior Plastic and Rubber Trim, Seals & Tires / Engine bays
Price and Value: PERL is sold in a concentrated form, offering tremendous value. Dilute it with water according to the instructions and pour into a spray bottle.
Appearance: Rich Satin look but not greasy
Revives dull, faded rubber, plastics, vinyl, acrylic, and leather.
Water-based and contains no solvents. It will not damage tires or dry out plastic. But once dry it offers a terrific hydrophobic layer repelling water, dirt, and grime.
Stops leather cracking and protects it from dirt and stains.
Surfaces treated with PERL will require less cleaning and they will retain their like-new look longer.
Dilutions: (Note- You are welcome to adjust any of the dilutions as you see fit and find many options work very well) Below are some suggestions
External Plastics: 1 part Perl / 1~3 parts water
Engine: 1 part Perl / 1~3 parts water
Tires & Rubber: Undiluted~1:1 (I recomend 1:1) 2 thin coats with 20 minutes or more between will offer the best looking dark black tires you will find.
Interior Vinyl and Leather: 1 part PERL / 5 Parts water
Directions:
Clean the surface from dirt, oil, and dust
Shake Diluted spray bottle
Spray onto surface and wipe in evenly
Wipe off as needed
The durability of Perl depends on the dilution and the surface it is applied to. For exterior surfaces such as trims and tires, it is recommended to mix it at a heavier concentration or use the product undiluted. The longevity can last up to 3-4 months depending on the surface. For interior dashboard surfaces, it can last a very long time.
When used undiluted, it will yield a light sheen that cures to be dry to the touch and non-greasy. Diluting it at 1:3 can yield a light satin finish, and at 1:5, it can provide a matte finish without compromising UV protection.
No, it will not sling. The reason why something will sling is if too much product is applied without buffing it down. Also, ensure there are no products in the tire treads; make sure those are cleaned up as well.
Perl is water-based and can be safely used on the interior surfaces of your vehicle, even on leather. DarkSide, on the other hand, should only be used on exterior surfaces such as tires.
