[QUOTE="Toxix, post: 111405, member: 3156"] Hey Spence, This is good news, I'm happy you're liking PERL. Its a great product. You can also consider Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant. I use this as much as I use PERL, if not more. Consider this to be a bit more of a gel rather than a water based product such as PERL. It goes on thick, ends up being really shiny but dries up real good and turns the greasy look into a nice sheen. I've used this product much like PERL on tires, engine bays, plastics, etc. Friendly reminder to clean, degrease and scrub all plastic and tire surfaces prior to applying a sealant/plastic protecant such as CarPro PERL, CarPro DLUX or Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant Menzerna is on top of my list as well followed closely by HD Detailing Products. Menzerna's compounds and polishes are my go-to products on my cars and clients cars alike. When I find some neglected cars I reach for something heavy cutting like FG400 and finish with SF4000 or 3500. The finish is near perfect with this combo. My personal favorites on the sealants and wax sides are: Ultima Paint Guard Plus Pinnacle Souveran Paste Wax (Terrible durability) Menzerna Powerlock Will be trying Mitchell and King Car Wax and Angelwax in the near future Before moving to a a ceramic coating your paint will require a full correction and conditioning prior to application. If you want a home kit a lot of people go with CarPro's Cquartz UK. This is only a one year kit. The coatings that I apply are anywhere from 2 year to 5 year coating applications. Personally, for looks I like waxes and sealants For durability, coatings are the way to go. [/QUOTE]
