THE BEST TIRE DRESSING FOR YOUR CAR CARPRO PERL vs VRP CHEMICAL GUYS

[@KiranPatel-fk1pg]

Your 100% right about durability, it's nice for paintwork in terms of being coated, but for tires it's nice to apply a fresh layer each wash. I love perl 1:1 for an OEM look and it lasts until each wash which is all I care for

[@HawaiiDetailing]

Thanks for commenting. Perl is definitely a good dressing. I plan to use both for a while. After the bottles run out not sure yet what I will I buy next time.

[@KiranPatel-fk1pg]

@@HawaiiDetailing it's hard finding a ton of non shiny OEM look tyre dressings that aren't "tyre coatings". Maybe Gtechniq T2 or Koch Chemie plastar?

Yeah. They have a great product line for sure.

[@erod6468]

VRP for the win on big off road tires. Does not fling all over after application . The shine is perfect for these big, fat tires on my Tacoma and other trucks. I've tried shinier dressings for these tires and it looks dumb lol. Also, all the other dressings always fling all over my fenders, doors and quarter panels 🤦🏾‍♂️. The best thing about it is that after 2 weeks of being on the trails and rock crawling in the deserts or in the mountains and forests, it washes off easy and the dirt and mud falls off easily during the wash, ready for another coat. 🤘🏽

[@KenseisGarage]

Used VRP for a while, very good product, but durability is an issue. Switched to Perl, no turning back, using it 1:1, love the look and durability. Can go on quick washes before reapplying. Great video 👍

[@HawaiiDetailing]

Thanks man. I agree. I like carpro for the durability. Definitely a tougher product. VRP is so easy to use and level out. If you wash your car a lot it’s a good product too.

[@steve8803]

After I apply the tire dressing, I always drive the car half a tire rotation ahead(or back) to get 100% coverage on the part that was on the ground.

[@HawaiiDetailing]

Good idea. Thanks for sharing

[@The_Cyberz]

Another way is to drive up on some 2x6 boards before you start washing.

Thanks man these videos are therapeutic and informative.

Hello, man. I really like PERL. As its acronym suggests, I apply PERL to interior and exterior plastics, engine, interior and exterior rubbers, and leather.

Thanks for the review, I already have the VRP but I will go and purchase myself some Perl now to try them out as I like to go from a matt look to a bit a shine to a wet look.

[@HawaiiDetailing]

Yeah. They are both good dressings. I use both but tend to use VRP more often.

[@mrgarner11]

I JUST used the VRP yesterday. I was nervous. I’ve never detailed my car. It is the most amazing product. Easy to use. I squeezed it onto a microfibre cloth. And wiped. So easy. The more you use the more shine. It’s not oily and feels dry to the touch. Used in on the dash/ instruments and exterior black trim areas. Barely used any product and did all seven seats in my van too. Vinyl. I am a life long customer now.

[@MrFowl]

Really good points that I didn't really think about before. I sometimes go a few weeks between washes (especially in the winter), so Perl seems like it's perfect for me. I can use it year round and when I need the extra durability, it's there. 👌

[@milanjurich1526]

VRP is my preferred look ... great video!

[@HawaiiDetailing]

Thanks. Yeah I usually use VRP as well.

[@futureperfect417]

I'm with you. Found VRP to also have a more unified look when applying on multiple types of tires.

[@JohnD15317]

Thank you for the vid. Well i just bought the big bottle of Perl based on numerous great reviews , so i am happy to see how it looks. Like you, I'm not looking for any crazy durability because i clean my tires and wheels weekly as part of my wash regiment, and i always reapply my tire dressings anyway.

[@walkergillette3918]

why the hell would you want to get the product off???

[@kir0nz]

They are both water based products. As such they both come off with rain. Only way you would get 3 months out of Perl is if your car didn't get wet once. The thing is though that Perl goes a lot further if you dilute it like they say you can. It also spreads easier that way. I use it at 4:1.

[@HawaiiDetailing]

VRP is one of the very few products from them that I do like. Most of their products are all label and no action. That’s just my opinion. I am sure you could put together a good kit from them that works fine but there are so many other good products out there there is no need to do that. The one good thing they have is they have a store in every city where you can go and buy stuff and look around and ask questions. That’s a good resource for a beginner. Thanks for watching.

[@fattysgarage1754]

This is exactly why I never ceramic coat my vehicles. I want to correct it if need be, and take it down to the paint when I need to. It has it's place but not sure if I will ever use it. Too much durability is not needed for tires either. Well said Jeremy!

[@HawaiiDetailing]

Thanks. I appreciate you watching.

[@NickVetter]

Why not use like a 1 year coating? Shouldn't need to correct it more than a year and would come off easy if you had too. It just acts as a sacrificial layer so hopefully you can keep more of your precious clear coat!

[@Propheciez]

How is Chemical Guys VRP when it rains or when there is moisture in the air like morning mist/dew? Will it leave white runny streaks on the trim?

[@HawaiiDetailing]

It’s definitely not the most durable dressing. It will wear off quickly. I would move up to carpro Perl or similar if you want it to stay on longer and look better longer.

[@adamcoe]

In your experience, does one last longer than another between washes? Sometimes it's 2 weeks or more between washes so it'd be nice to have something that looked semi-decent for at least that long. I get that you don't want something that's hard to remove but I also don't want to look at my tires 5 days later and have it look like I haven't done a thing. I've used VRP for tires as well as my tonneau cover and interior and I'm quite happy with it, but I'm always interested to try new products and Perl is very well reviewed of course. Anyway thanks for the review, appreciate your time!

[@HawaiiDetailing]

Perl lasts longer for sure. It worth trying out. It can be diluted too so the more you dilute it the less gloss and the shorter the durability. I like it a lot. I use both. The thing about VRP is it’s so easy but the durability is less for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@Johnnygga]

Honestly, what you want is a petroleum based product. I don’t know why they’re so demonized but you can get the same effect or even more shine with Meguiars endurance tire gel-just wipe down the tire with a rag hard after applying it to knock it down to the levels of these water based dressings. It won’t sling. It’ll last those 2 weeks easily rain or shine and it’ll be easy enough to clean when you wash it to apply another thin layer. I love water based dressings don’t get me wrong, but some of us have things to do in life sometimes that causes us to skip a wash for a week or two. My biggest annoyance with water based dressings is that they’re all look the same after like 4 days if it’s not garaged and driven

[@arlenmartin8672]

Idk if my bed cover was really dry but it soaked in the VRP so fast and made it difficult to apply. It may have been because it had never been protected or coated for so long as far as I know
