I just started using Rejex, I put it on my STI and the wife's 4Runner (silver), both cars look better than they ever had. I even got a compliment at work about the shine of my car. A bird was kind enough to give me my first test of Rejex. Actually he gave me 2 tests, both on the roof on 2 different days. I sprayed the, uh, contaminant with a quick detailer and the spot wipe up like it wasn't even on there. Very nice. I'll post further as time goes on and I can see how it lasts. Right now I have 1 coat on the truck and its wheels and 1 coat on my car and 2 coats on the wheels. I plan to do at least one more coat on each and then we'll see how it lasts.

I just put some on my wife's miata after clay baring it.

I had never clay bared a vehicle and WOW was I impressed. It in a nice compliment to the Rejex because it doesn't take too long to clay bar a car, and Rejex has NO cleaning action. Just something you need to remember. The paint needs to be compounded/clay bared before you rejex.

I've used rejex for about 800 miles now and i love how effortlessly the bugs wipe off the front of the car.

I redo the coat on the front bumper for extra bump/chip protection.

So far, so great.

Bugs!!! Yes, my car gets hammered with them and you are right that Rejex sure makes that easier. (reason enough to use it around here) I recoated the whole car again yesterday, in the future I'll probably hit the front and the wheels more often than the rest of the car like bah14.

totally bro.

Once a month min for the front and wheels for me. I love the stuff. I found the 3 coats over the course of 3 days ... keeping car out of the elements .... give the best possible shine.


glad to hear ya like it.

i just got some today. are you guys still happy with the Rejex? i hope it lasts long, cause with Meguiars NXT, the car would look good for a week, then after that, its not as shiny.

if you are really concerned with the lifetime of the wax, and want to have a good natural (not polymer sealant) wax use ONE GRAND blitz wax, the stuff is great!

I was impressed with the initial shine and slippery feel, but it didn't seem to last any longer than NXT or make bug or brake dust removal noticeably easier. I think it's a decent product, but some of the claims are exaggerated.

works great for me. I can only assue that a multitude of variables affects its performance and therefor may not me ideal for everyone. However, It's my saving grace. I slap a new coat on the front every month and do the rest of the car every other month. That's far more than what's suggested, but I'm a bit overkill when it comes to detailing my car.

you guys should try ONE GRAND blitz wax... its a natural wax not a polymer sealant and it is probably the longest lasting natural wax plus it looks great (not quite as good as P21S but it lasts 2X longer)

try it out!

would the Rejex work good over a coat of meguiars Scratch X, cleaner wax, or Gold Class? i was thinking of pretreating the car with scratch X, and using cleaner wax, and topping everything off with Rejex.

the scratchX might be ok, but i doubt the others are. Most of what meguiar's makes contains silicone oil which prevents rejex from working it's magic. Do what i did, call/email Meguiar's and ask if a certain product(s) contains any silicone oil. They usually respond in a day.

Personally, I'd get those products from "3M innovations". They make paint car products that not only lack silicone oil, but are specifically designed to certain colors (light, medium, dark).

I use 3m products for light/med colors (Crystal Grey...)

how is the paint supposed to feel after applying the rejex? its doesnt feel as smooth as NXT or Meguiars cleaner wax does. it looks nice and deep in color now, but doesnt glassy smooth like the old waxes i used before...
