Beading/sheeting/whatever. I used both terms. My point is, when the water sits on the finish and doesn't go anywhere, you can be pretty sure that any protectant has left the building.

My last 8 cars in 10 years with Zaino have ALWAYS done a good job regarding beading/sheeting. As of today, Rejex looks like a winner and time will tell.

no solvents. no abrasives. period. call sal, email him. anything removes tar if the car has zaino on it... tar does not stick to it.

Will Rejex streak while applying/removing?

I have not experienced any problems with streaking, just make sure you apply a very thin coat, it comes off very easy and leaves a super finish.

Thanks Dvilin.

We must be getting two different types of Z2 then. Check out my post here:

http://www.autopia.org/forum/car-det...ning-dept.html

The car had no zaino on it, hadn't been waxed in years, how did the Z2 remove surface contaminants if it didn't have solvents? Why was it more effective than some of the other cleaner waxes?

Thanks for the offer to call Sal, I'll pass, he contradicts himself and then when you call him out on it or ask him a non scripted question, he gets cranky.

Zaino user since 99.Tried REJEX this weekend with a top coat of souvern amazing.BYE BYE ZAINO.Maybe i'll use the rest on my bike

Just received my bottle in the mail on Saturday. If the weather holds out today I am going to try it out for myself. Quick question, why does the bottle say not to put any wax over the top of it?

SubjectAlpha

I think because the wax would be redundant and reduce the effectiveness of Rejex. Rejex replaces waxing.

I'm going outside to wash/dry/rejex for the first time today, too.

Wax won't hurt anything apply two coats (24 hrs apart) of rejex.And a high quality carnuba wax .My own opinion of course.

Did my vette and loved it so much I did my tundra. Loved that so much I did my wife's traverse, I can't wait till she drives in the rain to see how good it is lol.

Since I did the vette I've driven in the rain and washed it twice. The water almost jumps off the car still! I may rejex my kubota next!

Vette is torch red. Tundra is a darker silver/grey. Traverse is light silver. The shine it left on all these colors was truly amazing.... And I've been detailing for years. Nxt is nothing compared to rejex. And I liked nxt for a quick wax job.

My first Rejex application today. I have been a NXT fan in the past but I think I may like this better. The sun wasn't shining today after I was done so I took a few pics in the garage. There not the best but it does seem to shine a little more than the NXT.

Actually applying a wax such as Pinnacle Souveran enhances the finish but it also reduces the slick Relex finish. Pick one or the other trade off.

Well I couldn't take it any longer, had to find out for myself. I decided to do half my car, a white Ford Escort, with Zaino and the other half with Rejex.

I then measured the depth of the shine of each with my tape measure, The results are as follows:

Zaino: 11 3/8"

Rejex: 12 1/8"

So there you go the clear winner is Rejex by 6/8".

Funny thing though, I had opposite results on the zaino thread. Go figure.

I like, and use both of the big two...I like Zaino on my car, but when I am doing family and friends they get the Rejex treatment...similar results at a better cost. I did my co-workers 08 vert this weekend...





Finished product using Rejex:

BS.

sorry. I know this product. I have been using it since 98. I have tested it and compared it against other products as well. And when I say "tested", I did it on more than a vehicles painted surface. There are no solvents or abrasives in it.

does white vinager have abrasives? it removes water spots.. does peanut butter have abrasives? it removes all kinds of stuff... rubbing alcohol? none of which harm clear coat or cause swirls.. bottom line was a liquid was applied to the tar, it softened it and started removing it..

And I have known Sal Zaino for a long time as well.... you are off base.

My proof is my car.

And ...our 97 Firehawk... that we sold to a lady who flew out to VA from TX to get it and drove it back with 64k miles on it....... this pic was taken on 9/11 after the attack on the Twin towers..... factory paint.... daily driver.... and my 05 gto, and my 08 Solstice gxp......both black as well..... no my friend... I don't accept your preaching.... I have been detailing cars since 1967.....at which time i was a rookie... but I have learned a lot over many years of doing it... and being an automotive engineer by trade and a certified testing engineer know how to apply the proper methods to verify a products claims.





sorry.. you won't convince me it gets better than this......











peace.

ps. that link with that guys 'test'.....LOL.. come on..... is that really a verification?...........
