Yes, but more importantly, instead of Zaino (inside joke if you're not familiar with Zaino either).

Somewhat familiar with Zaino but I must admit.... I have so much going on in my life I cant imagine spending that much time waxing my car. (and I'd like to say that I am somewhat picky about my cars but there's so much else that has to be done)

The Cliff Notes version is....

Rejex probably doesn't have quite the shine that properly applied Zaino does but it is slicker, lasts longer and goes on and off without too much fuss. Like anything you shouldn't apply Rejex in the sun and should let it 'cure' for 12 hours or so before letting the UV rays hit it.

We used to be able to buy it directly but don't believe that's possible any longer except perhaps if you're in a club. I've seen it at the local ACE Hardware store and the website says True Value Hardware also has it.

Also have to apply it within a temperature range, 50 to 80 I think. Help me if I'm wrong about that.

Dawn to remove wax, I don't think so.

Does anyone know how long I should wait to use Rejex on fresh paint?

Zaino is the easiest, quickest product I've ever used. I just don't fall for the marketing hype that you have to put one coat of every product they make on your car.

Do you "shampoo-rinse-repeat", or do you just shampoo once? A little common sense goes a long way. Zaino Z2 and you are good for a year. Doesn't get much easier (yes, it needs to be washed and clayed first - but that is true no matter what you use).

Why do you say that? It is recommended for removing non-polymer waxes. It won't remove Zaino or Rejex though.
