Default Rejex question

Just finished my first Rejex treatment on my '07 convertible. This stuff sure goes on and off easy - I was completely done in an hour, and it looks great. She's in the garage "curing" now, so, I'll be good to go tomorrow AM. Stating the obvious here, especially for long-time Rejex users - but follow the directions. You DO have to start with an absolutely clean car, and yes, keep it off the black plastic trim. If it holds up even half as well as advertised, I'll be happy. I've got a trip from New York down to Roanoke, Virginia next week and I wasn't relishing the prospect of the usual bug splatter along the highway - but now I'm not so worried. Question: Would a second coat to the front end and mirrors in a day or two help, or is it good to go as is?

I think you are good to go but I see nothing wrong with a second coat.

90% of any wax/paint sealant result is preparation.

If you applied over old wax, Rejex will not last as long
If you applied over oxidized paint, Rejex will not have as much gloss.

A second coat after the cure period will help...

It really is the second and subsequent coats that make the Rejex shine really "POP"............

I have 2 coats on the car including the wheels and 95% of the bugs come off with the hose. The other 5% take a little rubbing.

Thanks for the replies, all. I'll do a second coat before I go.

The more you use it the slicker it gets.

My car is new so I washed it with Dawn and applied 2 coats ofRejex. The second coat made it look even better. I have a second car that is a few years old. It will need polishing before the Rejex. Should I wash it again after polishing? Does polish leave any residue

Thanks

Mark?

What do you guys use between using the Rejex? I mean are you using any type of detail sprays as it said not to use any other polish or wax after it is applied. Anyone using anything safe for the in between touch ups?

Definitely leaves residue--some more than others. I wash and even wipe it down with 50/50 isopropyl.
