Default Freshly Rejexed

I just put my first application of Rejex on last weekend and I was impressed by the results. Of course I washed it two times first with Dawn and made sure that there were no water spots prior to hitting it with the Rejex.

Looks great. . I keep hearing great things about rejex, but was wondering if it creates a lot of residue when removing.

I love rejex. I juts ordered to bottles of the stuff.

I tried this other polymer sealant (Polymere II)that the detail supply shop recommended to me when I mentioned that I had run out of Rejex. This stuff was a PITA to remove and didn't last as long as the Rejex. I had waxed my wifes 2004 g35 with the Polymere II and rejexed my 2003 Z06 the same weekend Three weeks later the Z06 was still beading water off the hood like it was freshly waxed and the g35 was not.

Not near the residue as any product that contains wax IMHO.

Prior to using this I called and spent some quality time with one of the engineers at Rejex. She assured me that it was safe to use on my vinyl CE stripes and all other surfaces including my glass. I slathered it all over my car including the stripes, the black plastic surround around the wipers, all the glass and even did the 3M Clear Bra. No problem removing it on any of the surfaces and this thing beads water like oil. We will see how long it lasts but it was sure easy to apply and you can see the shine for yourself.

I heard you can slop Turttle Wax Ice on plastic and it doesn't leave any residue. I hate using wax that gets in cracks and on plastic that leaves white residue ... and it makes it a pain to wax because you have to be extra careful not to get the wax in the wrong places.

94-vette, how's the shine with TW Ice? Is it worth a try? Sorry for the hi-jack.

Yup!!! The shine is 2nd to none. You can put it on plastic/anything! I use a low speed orbital and the car looks just amazing.I've got chrome rims and just wanted to see what it would do.I washed and cleaned the rims.Then took the mini power ball and dipped it in the Ice and went to work.The rims hurt your eyes when the sun hits them.

I tried some TW Ice today ... the shine is great and it goes on/off with no sweat. Also makes plastic look like it's nice and rich black like when using semi gloss ArmorAll.

Only thing was the directions say it should 'dry to a haze' after 3 to 5 min. I left mine on for 15+ min and it never dried ... what's the deal? I shook the bottle per directions, but this stuff is about a year old. Wonder if it goes bad in the bottle after awhile.

Did anyone using ICE actually see it dry to a haze?

I tried Rejex and Ice and went running back to Zaino. My one year old bottle of "gin clear" Ice is now quite yellow!

So sounds like Rejex is no better than Ice?

No, I think Rejex is better than Ice but neither are as long lasting or better looking than Z-2...
