Default Rejex.....wow

Just finished with dawn, clay bar, wash and REJEX. Have been using NXT and decided to give this a try. The shine is so much deeper than NXT and love how slick it is! Trying to decide if a second coat will be worth it tomorrow. Can't wait to slap some detail spray on top. Don't have a camera but will try to borrow my neigheor's to get some pics in the morning. By the way, I REJEX'ed EVERY surface on the car.

Do you think a second coat is worth it and what kind of detail spray do you use?

It's worth it...I haven't used a detail spray on it until today.
I have the rejex on the wife's DD, and I used Z-6 to wipe it down today...looks nice.
I still use Zaino on the Vette.

WE NEED PICS! I would do another coat, I've always noticed a better shine with a few coats versus just one, whether it is Zaino on the vette and my truck, or NXT on other family members car!

It will only take an hour and the results should be ever better! And a spray detail in between coats couldn't hurt!

Default I love Rejex

Two or three coats 24 hrs apart is the way to go. With Rejex you have to give it some time to bond to the surface between coats, I noticed a much deeper shine with waiting a day or so between applications. On a brocure that came with it it stated it took 12
+ hours to completely bond to the surface. Pics are of two coats but a few light washings after to get ride of some dust and polishing residue. Seems to hold it's shine well so far.

Hey Z,

Your Zo6 looks pretty good to me, and I really like your wheels, are they Cray or CCW's?

Rejex works great for me. I'm not lookng for a show-shine, but raather, good protection. My C5 lives outdoors in rainy wet Oregon, and Rejex helps it survive the rain and yuk, & makes a wash up easy. It also shines, a nice side effect of the protection! ...and its easy to put on, unlike the Z stuff, which can become a hobby or obsession all by itself.

From looking at the pics, may just have to give Rejex a try.

I rejexed my wheels.



How long do you let the rejex sit before you wipe it off? I know the directions say to wipe it off when it turns to a haze.
