Perl is in a different category than this. This ia tire coating, much like black pearl tire coating, turtle wax had a product a few years ago that was leaps and bounds above anything on the market, when they pulled it from the market I bought 10 boxes. Key to this stuff is the prep, tires have to be clean for the coating to stay on. Nice to see another coating make it to market, Black Pearl is pretty pricey and I'm not sure if it's available to the general market.
