Btw, nu finish and rejex are the same.
What is the name of the no buff sealant?

What proof do you have about this. I use Rejex all the time and would just by nu finish if that's true.

Inventor of rejex is a guy named Ed collin .I have met him. He told me directly that they are the same they just use different commercial distribution channels. Believe it if you want, no problem if you don't.

Further I have taken both products and a side-by-side over three months test on autogeek about four years ago. They wore exactly the same. But both of them leave that horrendous white haze i have to buff off that I can't get out of my badges, I am getting get out of that seams 2 weeks later, and why I switched to a crystal clear walkaway sealant that self cures -no buffing, like Ultima or black fire. Technology changes in detailing about every two years ,and if you're not reading what's going on, and sticking with your tried-and-true last gen stuff, you're wasting time.

This took 15 MINUTES to wipe on, and done, go drive:

Thanks for the info..

Been thinking about trying some of those new sealants, just haven't gotten the nerve up to try them.

No prob, but What "nerve"? They are $15-20 and simply wash off with dawn if you dont like the look. But Ive never known that to happen. I'm always surprised that people think this is some new technology, the first time I used a wipe-on-walk-away sealant was in 2009… And they're the same today. I just did a friends honda today, full paint detail, wash and two coats of sealant in 90 minutes.

Pm me if you have questions.

Sorry for revising an old thread, but I was searching for some info on XPel / Rejex and came across this thread where a couple people say YES, you can use the two together.

This is contrary to the information that I received from XPel, they said to not use Rejex on top of it. They have stated that in this forum as well. See this post

Not sure if maybe they revised their stance on this after you maybe contacted them?

Mountain,

I've also seen XPEL's guidance to not use products with petroleum distillates. It's been awhile since I used Rejex, but always thought was a very good product.

1. Rejex user since 2006. agree with other poster, keep away from black rubber, or you will be using "back to black" applications. If you become a real fan, go to a boat owners warehouse and buy it by the gallon. but it dries out if you don't use it quickly enough. alot of mine dried out when I moved to this:

2. Graduated to Meguiars Ultimate fast finish - "protects for a full year" or a full month during tropical storm Alberto while parked outside at the beach in south florida in the salt spray gum that covers everthing. nevertheless, you spray a little UFF on the included micro towel, rub on the car. thats it. saves one whole step, buffing and removing other waxes hazes. nice shine. nice beads of water. Mother meguiar's doesn't sell products that hurt enthusiasts rides.

3. Wayne Corrini uses Pinnacle Crystal Mist Carnauba Detail Spray. he uses it right before he rolls the car across the auction block. Showed him doing just that on his tv show. His job is to make money auctioning cars; he says this detail spray makes the car's finish look better to the bidder. spray on towel, wipe, and dry side towel to buff it. I listen when a man uses a product to make more money.

The question was about whether Rejex or other products would hurt paint protection films (PPF) like 3M, Suntek, or XPEL. Anything on the market for polishing or protecting cars is good directly on paint.

I agree

I use Zaino in a simpler way that Sal at Zaino approves.
I Use the Z-2 polish straight no mixing. The key is to use very little and it buffs off easy.

Then I apply Z-CS (Clear Seal) immediately over the Z-2. Sal says it sets the Z-2 so need for mixing and no waste! Both small bottles last several years.

I use z-cs only on wheels, splitter and side skirts. Could not be easier it's apply and let dry NO buffing or removing.

The shine is great. Perhaps not like using multiple coats of polish but that requires mixing with accelerator and what is not used in lost!

I have been buying this Rejex for about 4 years now. First used it on my c6 2009 and now using it on my C7 2016. Best I have ever used. Put it on let it dry rub it off and then let it set and cure for 12 hours out of the son. Buff it a little and it will last 6 months, All you need when you want to detail it is so West Cost Corvette and get it a Walmart and believe me at 79 years old and all my Corvettes this is great. Last Corvette out of 65 Corvettes at the show in C7 class I won first place. Everyone thought I had it Ceramic done. Nope just Rejex

I have been using REJEX since my C5 days. I like to drive not obsess over my Vettes. Easy on, easy off. Two coats a year does the trick for me.

Yes, it is AWESOME stuff, I use it on other vehicles, just not on my vette because of the XPel.

I've used Rejex for ~10 years on my car and motorcycle, but the truck gets NuFinish. Rejex is great in love bug country, as their splatters are much easier to remove, and if you use a blow drier the water beads off very easily. I apply it twice per year and it creates a very impressive gloss. Put it in the refrigerator (not freezer) and a 16 oz. bottle will last for years.
