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
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.
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.
Love how easily PERL is to remove on my tires. I wash my truck weekly so it’s also important how easily it is to remove for me too. KCx PSS is one of the hardest dressings to remove on tires. I only use it for plastic trim now.
Good video! I’ve been using VRP for years and have always heard good things about PERL. Seeing them side by side now, I think I save my money and stick with VRP.
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. A product with good water repellency, appearance, durability, versatile and cost-effective. I plan to try the Chemical Guys VRP. Thanks for sharing another video. Waston Ribeiro - Brazil
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.
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 👍
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.
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. 👌
I just recently bought a bottle of perl.. So far I really like it .. You are correct a deep dark look with just the right amount of shine.. You probably cannot go wrong with either product
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. 🤘🏽
I want to see these two go head to head in the engine bay and interior. I'm currently trying to decide on what to use and these two are my top runners.
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.
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.
I bought VRP without looking at too many reviews and I'm typically the guy who likes the fresh off the factory, or natural rubber look and this confirmed the VRP was the right choice. It's also cheaper... though you can't dilute it. Good review!
I've been using the chem guys galactic black tire dressing and I like it, but Im getting to the end of the bottle so I picked up a bottle of the vrp today while I was at Walmart. Ive heard good stuff about it so I'm pretty excited to try it.
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!
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!
You can dilute the perl with water to make it more matte finish ,I found its best to use a Round detail brush to apply , It gets in all the nooks a crannies better
Super video ! Merci mec, toujours de bonne humeur, j'ai testé les 2 produits et j'ai un soucis pour enlever le CARPRO Pur, une vraie galère, avec ValetPro Bilberry 1:3, je comprends pas ma brosses est toute grasse de noir collant et ça part pas. Etrange car sur ta video tout part nickel. Je vais re-tester ça mais je trouve pas top.
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!
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.
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
Perl is a lot more durable and can be diluted to make it more economical. Neither attract any unusual amount of dust at least not here in hawaii. I have used them both quite a bit over the years. Thanks for watching
Appreciate ur videos, would you recommend chemical guys to new people coming to the detailing world? I'm asking because I first started with chemical guys but idk I kinda just think chemical guys is a joke now, vrp is okay for like 3hrs then it disappears. Anyways yeah bro thanks for the video
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.
I see you use brake buster, have you tried their tire dressing, Shine All? I’ve been using it on my Tesla now and it seems to give a nice gloss. Personally I want an even higher gloss. So trying to find the right one.
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.
This is a tough one...Perl looks "more black" to Me. CG vrp seems thinner and glossier. I've been using Perl a lot lately. They both last a while and look great. You cannot beat the price on cg vrp. I like how You dried it...good move! learned something new today! thanks!
Thanks for watching and always sharing your thoughts. I feel the VRP is a thinner easy to apply dressing and Perl lasts longer and is a little thicker. Both great products and you can’t go wrong.
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
It does look good 1-1 also. Thanks for watching. I plan on taking a look at Obsessed Garage dressing as well. Have not tried it yet. Perl and VRP cover most of the bases but I am always looking.
who cares as long as it produces the specific look your going for, doesn't turn brown and doesn't sling.. that's all that matters. with any good tire wheel cleaner. .. its coming off so get what you like as long as it is a quality dressing.
Yeah. Car pro Perl has great durability on plastic and the tires too. Longer on plastics for sure. I will have to review it being used on plastic too. I have used it quite a bit and can say that I do like it a lot. Thanks for watching the channel.
Is there a matte-finish product with results like VRP, but with the durability of the Perl? I’ll be honest, I cannot stand that shiny tire look, so the matte finish is preferable to me.
Pan the organizers tire dressing is just insane.. can’t get over how dope it looks.

Luv the way you explain and teach just subscribed and im starting a detail busoness with my son thanks 4 the tips
You are welcome. Thanks for watching
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.
Good idea. Thanks for sharing
Another way is to drive up on some 2x6 boards before you start washing.
I bought VRP without looking at too many reviews and I'm typically the guy who likes the fresh off the factory, or natural rubber look and this confirmed the VRP was the right choice. It's also cheaper... though you can't dilute it. Good review!
Thanks a lot.
Get Carpro Perl bro. You won’t regret it
You can dilute it 50/50👌
I dilute vrp 50 50 spray on my truck tires and walk away...love the results
I love VRP dang ! Have used for years
A very good review, you covered everything here, nice and balanced review top notch RUclips channel 💯%
Thanks. I appreciate it
exactly what I am looking for, thank you for making this video!

My go-to combo for tire durability is apply VRP then spray coat with turtle wax seal n’ shine😉. You guys will be surprised how amazing it is😉

You can dilute the perl with water to make it more matte finish ,I found its best to use a Round detail brush to apply , It gets in all the nooks a crannies better

Water based but has sio2
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?
