Father of 3

Since I bought my bottle, I've rejex'd the mini-van, my black 325i, and my silver 993. I've been happy so far as all still bead water well, look shiny and clean after washing, and have generally made my life easier keeping the cars clean. I am, after all, a father of 3. Three months or so ago there was a fairly strong consensus of support for the product. I just wanted to see if everyone was still happy and still using the product.

i dont think flat black needs rejex

I'm now at 2 months, and yes the rain does still bead on the bonnet (hood?), but the car doesn't wash as easy as some posts had suggested (ie it needs a shampoo, and not just a blast with a jet wash). There was another comparison with other products which came out negative on Rejex, but that analysis was on initial shine, and for me the longevity of that shine (& protection) is far more important.

I would never use a pressure wash on ANY car, and I would have thought that it would strip the Rejex in any case.....

Still a happy customer. I also sent a bottle to my brother for use on his new boat.

I am not overly impressed with its longevity. 3 months on the C4S and the shine is not as apparent nor are beads.

With that said, it's a daily driver and I wash the car at least once a week.

I will add that after the initial application the shine was outstanding compared to anything else I have used.

Interesting point of view - why ? I was always of the understanding that a pressure wash was preferable to a mechanical wash (ie sponge) which just scratches the surface with any grit.

I'm very happy with Rejex....I do not use a shampoo on my car just plain water . I do not mind applying Rejex every couple of months......just my way of saying thanks

I put 2 coats of Rejex on my 993 about 4 months ago and it still washes easily and shines right up. I park it at the golf course where i work occasionally and am asked what I "wax" it with often. In fact I've now bought 2 cases of the stuff to give to my friends here, everyone always seems to come back wanting more for their friends after they use it. I don't know if it's the shine or how dang easy it is to use but 2 cases is a lot considering I'm not trying to sell it, I'm just the guy getting it in bulk. Feels like my car does the advertising and my friends just keep asking for more.

Yes, i thought the same about your view. The pressure spray is quite harsh, and especially so if it is not loose dirt and stuff on your paintwork. Put your hand in the spray at about a foot from the nozzle, you will see what I mean about the force it exerts. It is not easily quantifiable though but I will leave you with a story about a good friend of mine who had a stonechip on his BMW 750 bonnet. Before he knew it the pressure spray had taken off a load of paint. I saw this first hand, this is not a myth. Any imperfection in your paint can go the same way potentially.

In any case, I am sure a pressure spray will strip the Rejex quicker than using a lambswool mitt etc, a pressure spray certainly strips carnuba wax in no time at all. Ask Rejex, perhaps they would know. Mind you, ask any car detailer whether he uses a pressure spray to clean his car. Of course, the choice remains yours.

It depends on the distance and the pressure at the nozzle. I have seen detailers on car lots use a pressure spray to get dust off, but it is from about a 3 foot distance. Same with the robot arms of the car washes that use a pressure spray. They are about 2 feet away from the car body. In any case, I don't use them on body work.

Christer

'detailers on car lots'......hmmmm.....i wonder if we are using the same definition for 'detailer'....

Terry Adams

Not a detailer. Just a wash guy.

I think the main problem with pressure washers is that it forces water into areas you don't want water - past seals, etc.
