CarPro Perl not bonding with tires?
#16
Maybe I was using the wrong applicator. I got it from Amazon, it's similar to the ones that come with walmart stuff.

Update on Perl, after a car wash with Reset, the pearl is almost gone. It lasts me total 8 days to be exact while Tuf Shine lasts me several months going through various car washes without problem. Also, Perl is not dry to touch even after letting it cure for 12 hours while the Tuf Shine is literally dry to touch.
Perl has a darker and richer look than Tuf Tire Shine and a lot easier to apply. Perl can bond to dirty tires without problem.
Anyways, I'm happy with both products but I still prefer Tuf Tire Shine for its crazy tough durability and easier maintenance without weekly application.

FWIW, I used perl for the first time yesterday, neat. Didn't have an issue with it not bonding. I used one of the applicators bought from chem guys, cut in half

update...
i applied the Perl neat and it seemed to work better as it is not diluted. I also found that using less product ultimately gives better results. I got a satin deep black look. However, after applying 3 coats, I still cant get them to shine as much as id like or as much as I've seen others. Any ideas on how to achieve that high level gloss?

I like PERL. I used TUF Shine or whatever that "permanent" coating stuff is called and it lasted me one car wash. I scrubbed my tires with a stiff brush about 6 times with heavy concentrated CG Grime Reaper and rinsing it off between each scrubbing session. Then the coating was applied in several layers and allowed to dry before driving. Very disappointing stuff.
And it was applied to tires that have never seen any type of oily dressings before hand.

1 week for a "permanent" coating sounds like u got ripped off. Have u tried contacting tuf shine?

Pix? I thought it could be operator problem but sounds like you did a good job.

Now I have applied Tuf Tire Shine to all cars in my family and yes, they last many months. Once they bond to the tire, it is HARD to remove it so yes, it is permanent in a way.

I think this is probably user error in the application. I messed up my initial application with it too but after contacting with the company, they showed me how to do it right.

Spray their tire cleaner, scrub, rinse off. Repeat.
Blow dry the tire completely and coat it.
That's it.

with perl, i learned that using less product works better. It is not rocket science but there is a bit of a technique that u gotta use when it comes to water based dressings rather than to just slap it on like i used to do with silicone dressing.
