Default Rejex

I am getting ready to strip off my old polish and wax, then apply Rejex for the first time to my 2012 coupe. I do have a question...

Can I apply Rejex with my orbital machine, or MUST I apply by hand?

Thoughts/Suggestions are appreciated.....

I always put it on by hand, and use a very thin layer. First I would wash the car with dawn dish detergent, clay and apply the rejex.

Yep, that's how I do it, too. It's so easy to apply and polish out I have never seen the need for using an orbital, although I don't see why you couldn't.

One drawback to using the orbital might be using too much product.

I use Rejex on my boat and use the buffing machine on the exterior since it is long straight sides and is much quicker.

For the interior I buff it by hand


GOOD STUFF

I did same thing when I first applied it to my boat, washed good with dawn detergent and then applied 2 good coats.

Also make sure it stays dry over night so it can cure out real well

Remember..a little goes a long way. Several thin coats removed with a microfiber towel will give you great results. Dont forget to do the windows and those chrome wheels.

I agree. Out of the elements. I follow it with a coat of Pinnacle Sovereign carnuba wax for a deep wet look. This stuff is the best.

Where are you guys buying Rejex? I've kept an eye out for it when wandering through the cleaning products aisle at the local car parts stores and I never see it.

In my experience its just the opposite, you use less and get a nice even thin coat with the orbital. I just did mine with two coats of Rejex followed by three coats of Pinnacle Sovereign. The Pinnacle Sovereign was a 2oz bottle that I got as a free sample. I did the three coats and still had some left in the little bottle!

A great product. I just got done applying my annual three thin coats. Also, on the wheels.

Another source for Rejex is http://www.mypilotstore.com/mypilotstore/sep/4943

You can prolong the life of the unused product by squeezing all air out of the bottle and storing it in the refrigerator (not the freezer). My current bottle is five years old and the product is still good. Also, when you apply multiple coats wait 12 hours (the usual curing time) between coats.

Hey, thanks to all who posted here. I will be doing my Rejex treatment as soon as it warms up here a little more (next couple of weeks, I'm guessing).

Again, thanks to all who posted...
