Default Rejex question..

Just applied Rejex to my Vette last pm. Near the beginning I was getting a lot of little clumps of the white stuff-- Did I just not shake the bottle or do any of you experience this?

I get those clumps, too, but much less if I shake the bottle very well before using. Also, it seems the little squirt thing is a large part of the culprit. Try unscrewing the top and cleaning it out. In my case the clumps were from the cap, not in the main part of the bottle.

I have used the stuff for quite some time and have never experienced that. Contact the mfgr.

You only need to apply a very little bit of the stuff.

Its probably dried up Rejex underneath the cap. Wash the cap and shake bottle will solve your problem.

I had to clean my cap out, but once it was clean it was good to go.

Shaking the bottle very well afterwards is also a very good idea.

Depends on your definition of better. Both are good products but produce a different look on vehicles. Only you can decide what your needs are and which product would fit them.

Best thing to do is try both and see which you like.

It has worked very well for me. i can't complaint with the results I've gotten. I started using RejeX on a hunch, to see if it was as good as advertized. It turned out to be better than I thought. If it didn't work for me, I would still be looking for something to fill my needs on what I'm looking for in terms of durability and protection. The next thing I really want to do is use Glare Polish under RejeX. That will be my next experiment later this year. I believe Glare could also be a great product to try.
You can see some pics of my red Z06 after just using RejeX...

I make a habit of cleaning my tip before I put it away. Shake your bottle good before you use it

Default Wax under polymers?

Why do people keep trying to put wax or polish under polymers? The paint has to be clean of anyother wax or what ever to cross lock and bond to the paint. So! DUH!! if you put wax on first the polymer will not bond to the paint. Help me here people. Read the Damn directions. This isn't rocket secience!! My 2 cents worth.

Glare is not a wax. It's a product which is very similar to RejeX. They're both used on aviation, and have the same bonding properties. So, I think it would be a good thing to experiment with. And I agree with you. I think Carnuba wax will not be a good bonding venue for polymer/sealants. I know my results have been good using polymers alone. So, a little bit of experiment won't hurt anything, if it does, oh well, I know then not to try
I don't know if you've read about Glare and what it does. The finished layer of Glare can be sealed with a product like RejeX or any other comparable sealant.

My son owns a large janitorial company. A gouple of weekends ago,he borrowed my C6 (HE HAS A C5 VERT) with the promise he'd do a wash job. When he returned the car the shine was unbelievable. I asked what he used to wash the car, and he answered that he used some of his window cleaner concentrate. If he had told me this beforehand I would have raised hell. My only wax product is Rejex, and this concentrate did not remove the slickness of the Rejex. I'll post in a separate thread the name of his product, hopefully tomorrow.
