since more than handful of people here already bought it, tried & love it, i have a question for yo all. (i have planty sitting in my garage as well )

it is not wax, and u can not use wax at all. so does that mean ur car does not need wax anymore? i used to wax the car once every 1.5 month & in the middle i just use Eagle1 ''WAX AS U DRY.'' it works really good & dry the car really well. i'm still not sure about RejeX since it's not wax. my question will be how long will it actually last?(i don't care what it says on bottle ... i mean real time deal!) i don't want to use it after every wash because i still believe last rubbing on the clear coat actually it's better for the car/paint. the reason why i ask is because i used it on my hood once & it felt like a polisher to me... so in the long run it's not a good idea for the paint as u taking away a very thin layer of ur clear coat everytime u use it. please advise!

TIA

 

Different people use RejeX differently. I for one have never waxed or washed my 996/Cayenne and just use rejex every month or two.

All I do when it get a little dirty is detail spray and wipe it off.

So this is my process...

1. Buy the car
2. Detail Spray the car
3. Rejex the car
4. When dirty detail spray the car again. Sometimes use the CA Duster if it's not that dirty.
5. RejeX again in a month or two.

Here is the Cayenne just rejexed...

 

Up here in Calgary our weather is quite unpredictable and we usually dont get extended stretches of sunshine for longer than a week or two before we see a little rain. I wrote a quick review for some other forum users who also lived in the area... here it is:

"so its been about 10 days since I rejeXed my car for the first time and the weather has been putting the product to the test. Some results...

The deep shine on the car lasted everyday right up until it started pouring rain here in Calgary... very little dust build up was found as the rejex seemed to repel it somewhat. The rain beaded nicely and the car dryed out very quickly with no noticeable water spots afterwards.

After the rain the car still looked very good on the upper parts of the car (where dirt and road grime didnt splash up). There still seemed to be quite a good shine still albeit not as bright as before the rain.

I also used the rejeX on my rims and they looked pretty nice, but there was still a slight buildup of brakepad dust. I dont know if this was due more in part to the rain though.

Finally, I took the car up to edmonton on the freeway and came back last night. Washed it today and here are the results.

The bugs didnt seem to just "wipe off" as easily as advertised but at the same time I didnt do a lot of scrubbing either. I think the rejex helped to an extent for the bugs but only to a limit. For the rest of the car though, the road grime/dirt almost sprayed right off without any use of the washing mitt which was nice. Once the bugs were off the car came clean very quickly, and the rinse off showed the water still beading nicely on the paint. I didnt get a chance to rejeX a second time so we will see how this initial coat holds up as it might rain here in Calgary again in the next few days. "

That was written about 2 weeks ago...and i just washed and rejeXed my car for the second time yesterday. (so about a little under a month since the last time.) The road grime didnt just spray off this time like before, I definitely had to use my sheepskin mitt to wipe off the stains. However, the water still beaded magnificently on the paint and my car seemed to dry out very quickly, so the initial coat of rejex was definitely still there. I realize you live in Cali so you can probably follow a rejexing schedule closer to Kirby... but this is a good indicator for those times when you might see a lot of rain.

As far as your clearcoat I am not sure what will happen in the long term but i would assume it will act the same as any other wax you use on a monthly basis. IMO it didnt feel like a polisher at all it still felt like a wax.

Hope that helps a little...

 

My 11 year old son saw the RejeX bottle in the garage and asked me what it was. I told him that it was developed for the aerospace industry and was very slippery so stuff didn't stick to it very well. He asked if he could apply it to his teeth, and then not have to brush for a few months...

 

RejeX may not give the best shine or last the longest, but man, it's the easiest to use.

I am lazy, that is why I RejeX. =)

 

I would comment that the longevity of ReJex depends on the base that it was applied on, and your local environment.

If you have a clean paint surface with no glaze, swirl remover, or wax, Rejex will have the best chance of bonding to the paint, and will last longer. On the flip side, no glaze or swirl remover, will let all of the wear and tear of the paint show through.

Also if you drive in dusty or rainy conditions to any degree, the life of the Rejex Coating will be diminished as well. Think of driving through rain mixed with road grime as the same as driving through the slurry used to grind down rocks!

I have found that if you do a good initial application with a clean wax free surface, and give the paint 2 coats of Rejex, the material will last much longer. Glaze and Swirl remover do not seem to affect the life of the coating the way wax does. But the nice thing is that you can just slap it on over the waxed surface, and you will still get very nice results, they will just not last as long.

Both Kirby and I live up here in the San Francisco Bay area, and the weather is quite nice so our Rejex jobs last quite a long time, but when it does rain, Rejex makes the water just bead up and off!

 

That's funny. Thats the reason I use One Grand Blitz Wax. I don't know anything that goes on and off easier.

b-man

 

That's 2 of us! I've been using RejeX (thanks to Orient Express' recommendation) for a year on my windshield, wheels and exhaust tips, and it works great these "high stress" parts (apparently carnauba wax doesn't last on high temperature surfaces). I've also been using One Grand Blitz wax for a year on the painted exterior surfaces (after 15 years of Zymol, I got tired of the difficult application/removal process and poor durability).

I tried RejeX on the front bumper (since it worked well at keeping bug splats off the windshield, I thought it would be great on the front bumper as well), but it wasn't nearly easy to apply/remove as One Grand Blitz wax. One Grand Blitz goes on and off so easily, and lasts longer than any other wax I tried. It could be that RejeX last longer (who knows...), but since I wax my car every few months (it's therapeutic--and cheaper than a shrink!!), the additional effort isn't worth it for me. I also like the depth of shine that Blitz wax provides.

I guess it's like asking what your favorite chardonnay is!
