Sounds good Barry, thanks again for the info! I read on another thread (in the 928 Forum) that you can apply a second coat after 12 hours, is this recommended?

I also apply and remove Rejex by hand but I only let it sit for a few minutes at most. You have to do it in small sections. When I got greedy and tried to do the door and front bumper at the same time I also had trouble removing it but I've had similar problems with regular wax when I waited to long.

yes, very much so.
RejeX has several performance features (shine, slipperiness, water beading, resistance to contaminants, durability/longevity, etc.) and each of these will improve with a second application. however, unlike some zaino users who have 25+ coats on their car, it is not necessary to over-do it as you'll run into the law of diminshing returns at about 3 applications.
the process is,,,
apply the first application, wait until it hazes, then remove it.
wait 12 hours to cure (overnight) or if you want to apply a second application, you can apply the second, or any additional coats, after waiting only 8 hours.
the best part is you don't have to apply subsequent applications on consecutive days in order to boost the performance features. a second application that's applied anytime within a month of the first will give you great results.
i've done 2 applications within a month of each other and had over 10 months of performance.

thanks for the question.

I've used it a few times over the last year with no problems.

When removing wax or polish that I put on my cars, I lightly mist the spot I am going to polish/buff out. I use a tiny water bottle with 2/3 water, 1/3 alcohol. Been using this method for some time and it makes removing wax/polish a breeze.

pcar964-

Was it very humid the day you tried it? I've experienced it is sometimes hard to remove by hand (I use a PC to apply) when the humidity is high. Seems to get sticky and very hazy. I've also noticed the MF towels I use don't do a good a job of removing this product as 100% cotton towels.

Other than these two issues, I love the stuff as it's normally very easy to apply and remove and gives an excellent shine, smoothness and durability.

... that reminds me... I need to order another bottle

I, too, had a lot of trouble removing it on my wifes Boxster. I tried thin and thick coats, all by hand. I never firgured out what I was doing wrong

Shine is great, and the dirt does seem to wash off much easier now.

Hmm, I thinking we're getting somewhere now No, it wasn't really humid today (which is rare in South Fla) but I WAS using microfiber towels! Maybe that's the problem? I always use MF towels because I figure it's easier on the paint?

Thanks for all the input guys, I'll put a second coat on tomorrow... I'll use a little less Rejex, cotton towels instead of microfiber, and remove it more quickly -- hopefully that does the trick. I'll post some photos on this thread when I'm done...

Hate to break this to you but most professional detailers, myself included, use alcohol to REMOVE wax and polish. You are degrading the wax by doing this.

Most waxes/sealants if applied properly do not need any assistance in their removal.

Try using some 100% cotton baby diapers. They're thick, durable and very easy on the paint.

Thanks Eric, any idea where I could find those? Would Target or WalMart carry them?

I was in a hurry so I picked some up at the local Kragen Auto Parts. Not sure if you have them in Florida. Otherwise, most any big box store should have them in the disposable diaper/infant section. Wash first to soften them up and remove any lint (and skip the dryer sheet).
