Anyone have anything negative to say about Rejex?
Seems pretty much universally praised on this board. Just wondering if there were any bad experiences. Ordering now and plan to start on the mini van and move downwards from there (or upwards).

I put it on a windshield, and it smears a little where the blade changes direction. It is very easy to buff out with a dry cloth and a few light passes. So far, I am very pleased. My car certainly stays cleaner. I just took a long trip through rain, and the car usually gets a film on it, but this time it didn't it looked and felt clean.

Used it on wheels of 911 and Cayenne. Just make sure you really buff it off as the first couple times of washing the wheels the mixture of brake dust and water was pretty slimey. Seems better after a few washes and lord knows I do that a LOT because I hate dirty wheels and I haven't found any decent aftermarket pads yet for the Cayenne and probably won't find any for the GT3 that won't affect performance...

Any Preparation tips?
If I were to make the leap to Rejex, what should I do in preparation for application? In other words, should I try to strip the Zymoel off my car by using dawn or some other harsh soap or wax removal product? Does the prep have a significant effect on the qualities of Rejex?
Thanks,

I would not say that this is a negative comment of the product...but when I used this recently for the first time, I applied to the hood and front fenders at once. This was a little too long, and I should have done one panel at a time. The dreid a little, and even with vigorous rubbing, the product dos not look right on the hood. All other sections were put on and off quickly....and they look wonderful.
I applied in the garage, admired my work, and drove to work the next morning with a BIG smile on my face. That is until I got rear-ended by an F-250! He was only going about 8 mph (1750 in damage). However, I bet the damage would have been MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE had I not had the ReJex on (if I had time for the second coat - the truck would have simply wiped off).
The body shop guy did comment on how great the 'wax job' looked!

TD,
This is what I did-and there is some controversy on the first part. I used Palmolive (not Dawn and I have no good reason for the decision-felt right) dish washing detergent to get the old wax off. I then clayed the car (autopia.com has the directions) and applied two coats of rejex with 12 hours between coats and twelve hour curing time after the second coat. I took a while but I wanted to do it right. Looks good.

It's 3 weeks after the application of the second coat and I have to say that my daily driven 993 has stayed much cleaner. I usually wash my car every sunday and over the last two weekends there has been no need for a full wash. Just a quick spray and wipe with a spray detailer and it looks great. I used zanio for the last year and my car never stayed this clean.

Well, I am very tempted to hold my tongue inasmuch as there was a past inference that I might be a shill for the company or that my waxing poetic (pardon the pun) was motivated by the possiblility of earning a free 16 buck bottle of the stuff. Holy cow Batman, can you imagine that?
Anyway, I will say that I am still very impressed with the shine on all parts that were applied with Rejex. I have not had a need to wash the car yet. I have just wiped it down with a microfiber rag and some detail spray. The wheels stay clean because I make it a habit of brushing them off constantly with a very soft brissle brush. No water, no mess and they come up clean as a whistle.
To be absolutely honest, I did notice a fingerprint problem but am willing to put up with a quick wipe here and there to have that shine.
So far so good, I may never use another product again. Oh, the results are oustanding on my diecast models cars too, really.
