Default Question about Rejex (sealant) over XPEL (Paint protection film)

Hi -

My Z is being built. It will be receiving XPEL Ultimate on most of the car. This is being done at the dealer - They prep the surface and as I mentioned the car will be coming from the truck and then done before I pick it up. I purchased from Macmulkin and they have an outside company that is XPEL certified install the PPF - they do this regularly on most of their cars in varying degrees of coverage for so many CF owners.

My question is when I get home I am going to want to add Rejex or a similar sealant over the PPF - is this safe?

Lastly, anyone have anything they like better than Rejex? Rejex for the price seems great, super friendly/easy to use, and most everyone who uses it says great things and lasts anywhere from 5-6 months to 1 year.

Yes, Rejex or most any wax or sealant is safe over XPEL or any other PPF.

I've used Rejex and probably a dozen or more different products on PPFs over the years, and they all produce essentially the same shine.

Rejex has been a good $20 product that has longevity on my outside cars. I think I like it best on wheels.

Please DO NOT use RejeX over the Xpel. RejeX contains petroleum distillates and will discolor the film.
Get a bottle of Xpel cleaner/protectant from the installer (he should give you a complimentary bottle), go to the Xpel website and order some or check out AutoGeek. They will tell you if a product is safe to use on Xpel.
