Default Any particular car wash soap to use with Rejex?

As the title asks, does it matter what car wash soap you use inbetween applications of Rejex? I've still got some Zaino car wash soap left over from my last car that I was planning on using. Any reason not to use particular soaps? Any recommendations? Sorry if this has been covered, I did a few searches and didn't find this discussed before.

Thanks,
Nate

As far as soaps, use a particular one that does not remove waxes, it should say on the bottle.

Rejex is a great product! I have been using it for a while now on my STi and its been holding up great! I did about two coats a month ago, been thru 2 washes and 2 heavy rain storms and its still repeling water like RainX on a windsheild. Plus the car is still silky to the touch!
It just snowed and rained a bit in my area today and when my car sees rain I usually rinse the car and blow dry it with a heavy duty shop vac before I pull it into the garage. The water just glides right off the car.
Ive used Zaino on my IS and just started using Rejex on my STi and I could say from experience Rejex seems to last longer and Zaino, I think, gives more of a shine. Its hard to tell with the shine thing because I have a white STi. When I have time I will put Rejex on my IS to see if Zaino indeed gives more of a shine.

Meguiars Gold Class car wash soap. Only thing I EVER use on my car. It just works so well I don't see why I should try others.
