Default RejeX Group Buy - Forum Discount from X-Auto Products

Yes, it's been 2 months since our last group buy on RejeX, the super premium car polish and paint protectant for the discounted price of $17.95 for a 16 oz bottle. If you haven't heard about RejeX, it's an amazingly shiny polish that's also provides incredible protection against things that can mar the finish on your car - from bug guts and bird droppings to acid rain. Plus, it creates such a slippery surface, you can use it to reduce the accumulation of brake dust on your wheels. Use it on your paint, glass and wheels to help keep you entire car shiny clean.

You can place an online order by using the forum discount order page which is available only through this Group Buy promotion. Just click the link below to place an order.

I'm always available to provide additional information about how to make the most of your time, effort and money to help keep your car looking great. You can reach me via phone, email, private message on the forum or by posting your questions in this or another thread. I search the boards for RejeX questions several times a week. And I especially thank those who post their comments about how well they like RejeX.

After hearing the praise from Andrew Olson about this product a couple weeks ago, I went ahead and ordered some today - we still get the$17.95 price with no tax or shipping charges.

Anyone have any long-term use reports on RejeX?

After seeing how well this works on Bill Ball's and Sharkskin's cars, I just ordered my first bottle.

Can't wait to put this stuff on my rims, so I can get the brake dust off more easily.

I applied double coatings on all my vehicles at the time of Barry's initial offering last year: Following the advice on initial preparation ( wash in 'Dawn', claybar and another Dawn wash), each coat was easily applied as one would a liquid wax. Buff in ~30 min, and put away under cover overnight to cure.
The resultant finish is fantastic! A year+ later, I only use a 'California Duster' - and maybe a wash monthly. The shine is as brilliant as the first day - and most things rinse off with hose pressure. Some bug innards take a scrub - but we have nasty bugs here .
BTW - five vehicles X 2 coats each .... and there's still a few drops left in the bottle!!

Good info, Garth - thanks.

My paint needs a good detail, including clay bar and swirl mark reduction.

To clarify - after applying the inital coat, you applied the second coat the next day?

Correct ... after the first hand buffing, I let it polymerize/cure in the garage overnight and again buffed with a cloth ~ 20 hours after application: then reapplied, 30 min later hand buffed ... overnight rest ... and a final zip with the polishing rag the next day.
After the paint prep, the coats are a snap to apply.
Keep your clay bar away from Mother Earth ....

Hey! I should have posted a compliment after I got my order the last time. I used it on my wife's new phat ride, including the windows. Followed the directions on the platic bottle. Awesome results!~

Shipping was quick and came through in good shape.

Thanks so very much for this offering again. I still have a half quart left -- I'm waiting for the new paint job on Kryptonite!

Cheers,

How does this compare to the Zaino products,... in your opinions?

It's the shiniest stuff I've seen. Anything put over it is duller.

I bought a bottle for use on both the Jeep (help wash mud off) and the 928 (to make it purdy). The only things I've put it on so far are the soft windows for the Jeep. On the sides, anything washes off with just a little water. On the rear window, any dirt or dust sticks to it like glue. I have to scrub the dirt off. All the windows were done in my house at the same time. I don't know whether it's exhaust, heat, or what else is different between the sides and rear. I'm worried I'm going to scratch the hell out of the rear window when I clean it.

Since I put Rejex on my shark just before Sharktoberfest last year, the only attention I have paid to the paint is to dust it regularly and wash it with soap and water. This is intentional, I wanted to see how long I could stretch a double application of Rejex. It still has a great shine for the most part, though it's not quite so shiny on the roof. I attribute this to the fact the car was outdoors every night under a cover up until mid-April; it hasn't worsened since then. Other than that, it still looks better than it did previously one to two weeks after an exhausting hand rub with carnauba. It's been daily driven plus I got it so dirty on the SATL trip that I was calling it the "mud shark" yet it cleaned right up to a nice shine with little effort.

I'll be giving it a fresh application in the next few weeks, and in the future I think I may end up settling on applying it every six months or so.

A side note -- I have been washing with Dawn since that's a pretty universally accepted way to strip wax and crud off of your paint, but as far as I can tell it hasn't put a dent in the Rejex. The guy who did the car detailing presentation at Devek Days this year made a good point about how a too-agressive soap could dry out the rubber seals, so I'm looking for a safer alternative while my quarter-window seals are still soft.

I didn't want to bash the guy too hard since he was dishing some other good advice, but... Dawn has no detrimental effect on the rubber seals. Folks talk around that Dawn is acidic... It isn't. Caustic...It isn't. pH neutral...Yes! It's made to dip your hands into while washing dishes, so it pretty much needs to leave your hands intact when the dishes are done. Does it somehow leach the "oils" out of the rubber seals? Um, no. Rubber decays more from applications of petro-based debris, and is very Sensitive to ozone and sunlight damage. Washing off the debris, film, solvent, crud, wax, 'preservative' products, etc will actually help extend the life of the rubber. Cover the rubber (and the paint) so the sunlight doesn't get to it, and the rubber will last a long time.

Dawn --will-- take most real wax products off the car. Emulsifiers and surfactants attack grease and oil when used with water, and that's a gopal of this stuff. Got a "wax" that's more parrafin than carnuba, it will come off faster. Yes, you can buy special car-wash specific detergents or soap products that are, ounce for ounce, more gentle than Dawn. The real difference comes from some additives that may be part of the car-wash prodcut. Often, brighteners and water softeners are added to help cut through hard water deposits in your micro paint scratches. A little bit of wax may be included too, to hide the scratches and deposits left behind.


My two sense, knowledge and experience from over a dozen years working for P&G.

I applied the wax to my 93, rims and body, and let the "curing" take place and buffed and reapplied and cured/buffed. I was VERY satisfied with the results, and Barry is a nice enough guy to take my calls at 10pm at night to answer my questions! (although I don't think we should call him that late) The product and its support is top notch and you will not be sorry!!

Well
I used to own a detailing business years ago (its way too much work :>) It used an paint sealant, that was not carnuba based...instead a teflon acrylic based (or so they said).... I have been very pleased with the product, until I got rejex!

After a concours in June I won a bottle of rejex....heard it was great on wheels..tried it and it was....I just finished a 4 step waxing of my car....including a claybar (damm that stuff works!)...with a final coat of rejex....lets just say the car is super smooth!!! I look forward to the next PCA concours in two weeks! One aspect I like better about it is it leaves less powdery residue! About the only negative of rejex is its a pure sealant...with hardly any cleaner compounds....so make sure you prep the paint with some type of glaze or cleaner wax before you put it on!

The overall highest point winning concours car for zone 7 uses rejex...paint-wheels-everywhere...what does that tell you?

Thanks for the input Bob. I to your P&G insider knowledge. I guess I'll just stick with what I'm doing then. The ideal surface prep for Rejex is no wax, no nothing on the paint.... so I'll avoid the mystery car wash stuff. I don't need water softeners, since I generally rinse with DI water at the car wash. Besides, isn't salt used as a water softener? What else might they use for that?
