Red face Rejex Warning

I love driving cars but hate cleaning them and, frankly, I don’t usually manage to do a good job of it. In fact it is shocking to me that I have cleaned this car twice already (once each weekend) but it needed it – I have been putting about 600 miles per week on it since I got it.

I read all the hype about Rejex and how a one-time application lasts a long time and makes future cleanings easier so I decided to give it a shot.

First off – excellent service. I placed the order Thursday afternoon, selected regular shipping and it was sitting on my doorstep by Saturday. In fact I had just washed the car when I found it sitting there so I decided to give it a shot straight away.

I covered the whole car in the stuff (including wheels and glass) and then buffed it off. I can’t say that I agree with their statement that it comes off much easier than regular waxes/polishes. In hindsight I should probably have done one panel at a time but, as I said, I am not very proficient at cleaning.

It was near dark by the time I finished so I put the car away and left it to cure the obligatory 12 hours.

The next morning I dragged the car out and was pretty happy with the nice shine and silky smooth surface. Then I noticed a couple of spots where I had not dried the car sufficiently and there were still some water spots (the worst ones are in the top center of the windscreen). “No problem” I said to myself – I’ll just clean those right off.

No way Jose! These spots are now underneath a slippery tough layer of Rejex and won’t move regardless of how much I rub. Bottom-line – make sure your car is TOTALLY clean before you put this stuff on!

Didn't they say that dawn dishwashing detergent would do the trick? Or was that just to remove regular wax....

Try a water/alcohol solution to remove the Rejex in the spots you need to touch up. You will then have to reaply the Rejex to those areas.

Yup. Can't complain about the product - just the user

Max, I noticed you commented on Rejex. Have you put it on your GT3 yet?

Don, I just enjoy working the carnuba on the GT3 to much to make the switch. I might try the Rejex on the daily drivers since the synthetics last a lot longer and they do not get washed or detailed nearly as often.

Used the stuff twice on my guards red 911 and I believe it really brings out the color in the car.

i was running my porter cable tonight with some menzerna polish. i only did the horizontal surfaces. amazing what a diff. the rejex makes. when i went to rinse all the polish off the car, you could see a clear line where i had been polishing. the non polished, still covered in rejex beaded like crazy where water just sat on the freshly polished surface.
