Default RejeX vs Rain-X

I've used Rain-X for many years; of course it's for glass only. I recently put RejeX on my car and figured I'd go ahead and do the glass too. We've had some weather to try it out in here lately, so I thought I'd share my observations.

The Rain-X does do a better job of rolling water off the windshield, but the RejeX is easier and seems to last better.

Rain-X can dry very fast, making it difficult to apply when it's warm. The RejeX gives more working time.

With Rain-X, it doesn't take too many swipes of the wipers (yes, you still need them sometimes) before you can see where they go, I assume that this is the Rain-X starting to wear off. After a fair amount of wiper use in the last couple of days I don't see any marks on the RejeXed windshield.

With fresh Rain-X I've often noticed a bit of haze right after I turn on the wipers. Not usually a real problem but annoying. I've noticed this only once and very briefly with the RejeX.

Overall, I'll stick with the RejeX - being able to put it on everything on the car is a definite advantage as far as I'm concerned.

By the way, I've found that using RejeX in "unlikely" places - like inside the wheel wells - makes these places easier to clean. Now if I can just figure out a way to dip the car in it ...

My windows have never been cleared then with RejeX. Its a great product. Being able to have crystal clear windows is just one more added benefit of Rejex which has turned my Lemans Blue Metallic paint appearance into Electric Blue Metallic.

I found Z8 works great on my windshield. Makes my wipers work awesome.

I was a little hesitant to apply Rejex to my windows but after reading various posts decided to try it.

What a shine! Easy to work with and I'm going to apply Rejex to my other cars as well. Great product.

What kind of perks does it have? I use Rain-X and am pleased. Bug guts wash right off.
