Default got caught in a shower.........

The last time I "polished" my C5 with ReJex was about 1-2 months ago. Last Friday, I was caught in a surprise rain shower on the way to work. The rain subsided by late morning and the sun came out by afternoon.

During the afternoon, I noticed that although many cars were dry, they had water spots all over. My car still had water drops on it. That's strange, I thought.

Later on that afternoon, I drove to the gym and then home after a couple of hours. When I got home, I could not believe what the car looked like:




...SPOTLESS.....! (well, except for the rear end)

All I can say is, I love that ReJex!

And it is not a wax in the traditional sense. Wax tends to dissappear far faster than does ReJex.

here is a couple of cars with Rejex on them. Great stuff. The best thing about it (other than the fact that it lasts much longer than carnauba waxes) is if you get it in a crack between panels it is easyily removed. It doesn't seem to dry white like conventional waxes. It is also safe up to 600 degrees so it doesn't come off in hot wether. I put it on my headlight lenses.



Here's my car after a rain storm. I never moved it. I just wiped it down with the microfiber cloth hanging on the antenna.

..... good too that you have those GS-D3's when getting caught in rain.

When I saw the title of the post, that's where I thought we were headed.

Merry Christmas....

It seems to be awesome stuff.I've been using Meguiars pro Cleaner wax #6, which has worked very well for me in the occasional shower I've been caught in. I saw something about PTE (it was in a popup blurb here on the forum stating why wax is bad for your vette), or something with those letters in it.They talked about it being used on Navy ships, and other stuff, including vettes.Any input here about what's best. Obviously, all of you seem to think rejex is it.
