How long between applying a second coat of Rejex?
Instructions say to wait 12 hours so it 'cures' but would it be OK to apply a 2nd coat within 6 or 7 hours after the 1st application? Or just be patient and let it cure the full 12 hours?
I did the clay bar first and then applied the Rejex to my little blue Vette earlier today....

Didn't want to start a new thread but my question is related to Rejex. I had my paint clean and polished before I applied Rejex. I used Mother`s Pure Polish followed by a Glaze. Then I applied the Rejex. It seemed on the Clamshell {hood} and the rear deck area to have an oily, streaky residue after I wiped the product off.
It wasn't that hot here in the Sacramento area last weekend. I think perhaps I applied too much product? I have used Rejex in the past and I don't remember having this issue. I like the protection that Rejex offers and the way it makes the paint look usually.
Anyone else experience this?

If applied with a DA buffer you should not have a streaking issue. What has happened is the streaks are caused by inconstant application resulting is heavier application in some areas causing the streaking. To fix, remove the Rejex from the entire panel with Isopropyl Alcohol and re-apply the Rejex.

There is nothing to adhere to, zero surface bonding......
Finish with a glaze or wax product, less durable LSPs......

How about the amount of time that you leave the Rejex on the car to dry? I know that some products (Auto Glym Extra Gloss Protection comes to mind) actually say that the longer you leave it on the car before removing it (up to a certain point) the more it cures. So they say to leave it on at least 30-60 minutes (and even overnight if possible) in order to fully bond before you buff it off. Would the same apply to Rejex or can you buff it off as soon as it dries and still have it be just as durable?

Because it will rarely see rain, I figure that from that point on I will just need to add a couple of coats of Rejex about twice a year and hopefully that should offer great protection and a decent shine. (I'm not looking for a show car finish but I do like my cars to look new as long as possible)

Once Rejex has been applied and had the proper time to cure can you then put a product over it? Is there any benefit to it? Either a wax or a glaze?

When my new C7 arrives my plan is to first clay bar it, then to go over the entire car with 3D HD polish in order to remove any minor imperfections, then I will top it off with a couple of coats of Rejex.

Because of the new procedures for assembly of the C7, the ones being built for the first little while after the plant reopens will be subject to a 4 week hold for QC before being released. I thought that during this time my car would be wrapped in the white cover but I found out it's not wrapped until later. So my new car will now need clay more than ever! (I'm going to use one of those clay mitts actually, they are much faster to use)
