I received my first bottle of Rejex in the mail today. I was planning on first using it on my C6 that I should be getting in a few weeks. I decided I could not wait and used it on my C5 today. What a great product! Shine is amazing and it is so simple to use. I plan to do a second coat next week too! I would highly recommend Rejex!

Without this forum I would have never known about this product, so thanks to everyone for all of the great information!

Glad you had great results! I used it for the first time on my C5 and it seemed to leave just a bit of a cloud. Perhaps I put too much on.... I'm still sold on NXT or Zaino

I used it for the first time today as well. Gonna give it some time and then report back on it. It's not bad. Hasn't quite Wow'd me yet but seems pretty good. The real test will come tomorrow after I have driven it for a while and see how well it "rejex" dirt and grime. Application wise so far it seems no different than a wax but it doesn't leave the wax type residue. Slickness so far is not any more impressive than wax. Like I said, we'll see.

RejeX is the easiest product I have used . I have no cloudyness at all that I have experienced with High end paint sealants.
RejeX leaves behind a crystal clear, slippery, wet Gloss shine.

I tried Rejex after hearing claims of it keeping dust off the back of the car and found that it was no different than any other product as far as this and even thought that brake dust stuck more on the wheels with the rejex. I also found it to be finicky and it streaked for me even when applied thin. I still have a little left and am going to play with it a little more. I am going to try to layer it next to see if it helps in the looks department but have to say with 30% solvent content I do not think it is a product that will layer well. Hopefully it will not streak for me this time.

If you have "a little left" after purchasing a 16 oz bottle you didn't apply it thinly. In about a year I put on 6 coats and still have about 30% left in the bottle.

No, I am working with some sample tubes. I am used to applying thin from using Zaino.

Just thinking- if you place a thin layer, let it cure and than apply another layer (with a 30% solvent content) won’t you be removing most of the first layer? (I should also qualify this by saying that I have no experience of this product, just a natural curiosity)

Yes, I think that was exactly agentf1's point - that there is such a high solvent content that you can't layer it.

OK, I put it through a test. My black car is a dirt magnet, especially on the rear end. I put everything on per the instructions. Let it sit for 12 hours...and then went to a car show 70 miles away.

Thought for sure I would be reporting about another product that claims to be the best blah blah blah but really isn't. BUT....I gotta tell ya. This stuff really works rather well. In fact, I took 1st place! And had some stiff competition. I base my positive review off of how much, or not, effort I had to put into the car once I got to the show after 70 miles to get it show ready. It was minimal and clearly a lot less than I was expecting. Nice job fellas. I will continue to use it until I find a reason other wise.

Compared to wax, it goes on about the same, but comes of more cleanly. It is quite slick but sorry, no slicker than my car is after a good waxing. What is yet to be decided is whether or not it maintains the slickness over time.

Like I said though, cleanup was minimal and the lack of dust and dirt on the car was minimal. Same for the chrome rims.
