Rejex and Zaino confusion
OK - I got my C6 2.5 weeks ago. Since then, I checked out all the suggestions and bought the Zaino kit as well as rejex - because same people swear by both. However, after reading rejex instructions, it says to use it on paint and not on wax.
So what do I do?
The Vette probably has dealer wax on it. Do I use Dawn, wash it, and then Rejex it? Or wash it, Zaino it and then Rejex it?
PLEASE HELP!

1) wash car with Dawn (be sure to get any cosmoline off the wheels)
2) Rejex all windows / wheels
3) Zaino the car (ZFX, Z2, Z5, Z6)...You can read detailed instruction on "how to" on zainobros.com

Well, for those of you who know me, I'm a non conformist... probably why I own a Vette...
So, therefore I want to say, I am a fan of and use only Meguairs
products... specifically NXT! Only my $0.02, but I think it's the best. There, I said it.. go ahead and flame me...

Pardon my grammer... I meant to say that I am perfectly happy with the look and results I get when using Mdguires... and that's what matters to me... and only me.

Definitely best to stick with one product. Your sealant needs to bond to bare, healthy paint. If there is wax or another incompatible sealant beneath it, it will have trouble bonding and cross-linking, and your result will be less durability.
Since you have already bought both, use the Rejex on your glass - inside and out. You don't want to use Zaino on glass.
Use your Zaino kit for your paint finish. Once you commit to Zaino - don't use other products - you'll just be diminishing your results and wasting your Zaino.
Likewise if you choose Rejex, you really should stay with it. Decide for yourself which you're going to use and don't switch back and forth.

I've used Zaino back in the day (2 years ago) and found it a total pain in the bum to put it on and take it off. Great results, but not worth the effort in my opinion.
Im also an advocate of meguairs and such. BUT and this is a big BUT...
Anyone that has not tried rejex owes it to themselves and their arms to try it. All modern waxes & polishes claim no rubbing or buffing but rejex gets as close to this as possible.
Unlike meguairs, rejex leaves NO white residue. Go ahead, get it on the rubber trim and black parts, it'll come right off with no issues.
It gives great results and really makes you pleased with having spent the time to wax the car.
And come on, you own a vette, you can afford $18 to buy a bottle of rejex and try it out. You will NOT be dissapointed. At WORST it will be as good as the stuff you're used to, and 99% likely is that you'll be pleased with it and will discontinue use of the meguairs.
My 2 cents
