Rejex application?
Need to get ready for the love bugs so I'm going to Rejex my car tomorrow in preparation for a trip north from Naples Fla. My question is do you apply it to the headlight lens and windshield and are there parts that it should not be applied to. Thanks

I use ReJex on the headlight lens. I use it the rear and side windows inside and out but not the windshield. Planing on trying it on the inside of the windshield next time. Its great on the glass. I am concerned about the wipers and that is why none on the outside of the windshield.

No issues at all on the windshield and I like it better than rain-x

I do not use Rejex on the tires or the exhaust pipes. Everything else on the outside gets 2 coats twice a year.
I have vacillated on the windshield. I used Rain-X for decades, went to Rejex and didn't like the way the water beaded, went back to Rain-X, but then was reminded how quickly the Rain-X would have to be repeated and went back to Rejex. Because Rain-X has acid in it, it is far more destructive of the wipers.

Thanks for the tips. Just finished the job and it looks great and was so easy to apply and take off. I'm sure I'll find a few stray love bugs along the way as well as other flying stuff. I've never been so paranoid about something as I am my Vett and this group can't be beat for advise. Thanks for your input.

Yup, I noticed years ago that whenever I used Rain-X regularly my wipers would not last as long as when I didn't use it - pretty weird when you think I was putting the stuff on in the first place so I wouldn't have to use the wipers as often. What I found is that it's best to just apply Rain-X to the line-of-sight part of the windshield and avoid the whole area where the wipers park. That seems to help quite a bit. I now use Rejex so it isn't a problem any more.

Why not on the black trim? That's one thing I really like about Rejex; it is transparent when dry. I avoid the tires only because I don't think it would last with the flexing, not because it would show. If I slop a little on the tires while doing the wheels it is not a problem.

Doesn't it just wipe off? Yes, a thick coat will dry to a haze which would show on black but as soon as I wipe it off, no more white spots or streaks. Also, how long are you letting it dry before wiping it off? Again, if I let it dry for an hour it is harder to wipe off than if I take it off in 5 minutes. Two thin coats done a panel at a time 24 hours apart is better than 1 thick coat over the whole car and then buffed, IMHO.
