I,am going to try Rejex and need to know how to remove old wax
I am going to try some Rejex and it recommends removing all old wax before applying. What is the best way to remove old wax? I have heard to use dish washing liquid but also heard not to use it.
Thanks

Dawn Dishwashing soap will remove old wax. But make sure you completely rinse the car well and then dry it with soft towels. Make sure you wash and dry it in the shade so water won't dry and create water spots.
The amount of old wax on the car may necessitate washing the car twice but that can't really hurt. Just makes sure you rinse well and dry off.

You can go to an auto parts store or auto paint store and buy wax and grease remover. Or you can use enamel reducer, which I would not really recommend, unless you know what you are doing. Or use Dawn and rinse well. It is probably the easiest and cheapest.

I've done Rejex on my C5Z, and the results were a 10.
Like others already posted, wash the car with dish washing soap twice, clay bar it, if the paint still rough you have to polish, and wash again.
Now would be time to apply Rejex, and before you do go to their website, and familiarize yourself with the procedure. It requires few steps to include curing time before you apply a 2nd coat.
Once the 2nd coat cured, I slid my hand, and the surface, and it felt like glass.
Once Betty Boop's new paint job cures, Rejex will be it's next step.
BTW Betty Boop still for sale if anyone out there is looking for a reliable well maintained C4 with a new double-clear paint job.
