Default Klass AIO vs. Rejex?

hey everyone, i've been using Rejex for the past few months, and haven't been happy with the results. has anyone compared klasse vs. rejex?

i plan on getting the Klasse Concours kit, which comes with Klasse All in One, and Klasse Sealant Glaze.

do you guys think this stuff would be better than rejex? especially since the AIO cleans, polishes and protects in one step?

thanks!

I use the klasse twins and I wouldn't even think of switching. very easy to apply and it lasts for a LONG time. last year after a harsh, snowy winter it still hadn't worn off completely. just a tip though, when you apply the sealant glaze, put a thin layer on the entire car, then go back around and buff it off. then go back with a spray bottle full of water with 2 capfulls of sealant glaze and spray/wipe down the whole car. sometimes it can be difficult to buff off but this will remove any spots you miss and really bring out the shine as well.

thanks boost junkie. i'm going to order mine through www.properautocare.com. they also have a mezerna spray detailer that they say works well with the acrylic shield of Klasse.
i'm going to use a porter cable buffer to apply the AIO.

how long did you leave the rejex on before you wiped it off. the first time i applied mine it didn't do too good but i don't think i left it on long enough, i read that you are suppose to leave it on for 30 mins then wipe it off. the last time i did it that's what i did and it done much better.

I use Klasse All-In-One and Klasse Sealant Glaze and have nothing but good things to say about them. If you put on a very thin layer like they tell you to it is very easy to take off. If not just spray some instant detailer onto the towel and it makes it much easier. Once when I went all out, I used Poorboy's SSR 2.5 with a dual-action polisher, Klasse All-In-One and two coats of Klasse Sealant Glaze and the car came out rediculous. I had a guy with a 911 turbo talk to me for an hour at a gas station about detailing cars and now he uses nothing but Klasse as well.

I'm glad this thread actually came up....I was extremely impressed with the All-In-One, but the Sealant Glaze is questionable! The A-I-O applied very easily as did removing it, but the sealant glaze was almost too harsh. It's like it was somewhat abrasive. Anybody else notice this? Is this normal or did I maybe get a bad batch? But even without fully utilizing the glaze, the A-I-O is still on my car, causing water to bead 3 months later after numerous washes and many, many thousands of miles!

I would definitely use it. It can be difficult to remove but like I said earlier, just use a spray bottle and it will come right off. The sealant glaze makes a great homemade qucik detailing spray as well, just fill up a spray bottle with water and put in a couple capfulls of SG. It's perfect to use after a wash, between details.

Yes the Sealant Glaze can be hard to remove if you put too thick of a layer on but you can either spray some instant detailer on the rag or do as BoostJunkie says with the spray bottle of water and Sealant Glaze. The Sealant Glaze does go on kind of rough but it's ok. I've done my car with the All-In-One had several people look at it and then applied the Sealant Glaze. Every single one of them said the Sealant Glaze made a big difference.

cool, you guys have me sold on the stuff now, i'm going to order it tonite. would sealer glaze in a spray bottle with some water be better than buying some of this stuff?

from the www.properautocare.com site:
High Gloss Acrylic Shield is two products in one and offers a level of performance not found in other spray-on products. First, it's a high gloss, acrylic sealant that mists on and buffs off with ease. It can be used on top of any polymer or acrylic paint sealant to increase shine and extend protection. This is a great sealant to use over Klasse All-In-One. Now you can simply spray on an extra layer of shine and protection without worrying about streaks, haze or cloudy patches

the menzerna is probably better but making your own is free
