Putting new rims on my car and am wondering if it's OK to Rejex the insides prior to tire mount and balance. I'm sure I could apply the Rejex after they are mounted but it would be quite a bit easier to do it before. My concern is that the wheel weights wont adhere properly. Anyone have experience doing this (or not)? Thanks.

I did rejex on the outside of one front rim and left the other one alone with the Porsche Hartwax I had put on previously. My result was that the rejex one attracted more brake dust than the one without.

My test on the body showed that the rejex treated parts beaded water for a very long time. Based on that, I decided to leave my inner rims as is. I am using it on the car and it looks nice though. YMMV

i rejexed my entire rim when I first got them...after they were balanced

Nothing to do with wheels but the last time I applied Rejex I accidentally missed one of the side mirrors. How do I know - because the damn thing was always dirty while the other one stayed nice and clearn - particularly noticeable driving in the winter.

P21S everything...even the cylinder walls.

I noticed this too about Rejex on the rims. Seemed harder to clean brake dust off after Rejex.

Mr. C4

Do NOT Rejex the inner side prior to balancing, the weights won't stick!

OneManTX's and Lee's experience is not very reassuring. I just ordered my first bottle of Rejex for the sole purpose of using it on my rims to make cleaning brake dust easier (I use Zaino on the car). Have others had a similar experience? Should I not use Rejex on my rims?

Thanks for your input,

Rejex works great for making the break dust easy to remove. To be on the safe side you could wait until after the weights are added to the wheels to use the Rejex. If you don't want to do that because the wheels are going to be balanced and then installed (thus more difficult to get to the inside of the wheels), then tell the guys to rub the inside of the wheel where the weights will go with something abrasive to remove the Rejex at just that spot. IMHO

Have THEM rub with something abrasive? Are you kidding?

If you want to do the entire rim, get the balance done before you do the rejex so the weights stick. If you have already rejexed REMOVE THE REJEX YOURSELF before you take it in for balance.

They will be balanced and installed at the same time so I will not have the luxury of balance, then Rejex on and off, then install. I'll probably do what Kirby did and Rejex the insides after they are on the car. Bit of a pain - no way I'm hitting them with anything abrasive though! Thanks.

All I meant was something like scratch remover, or compound cleaner for cars or whatever removes wax.

It is easier to just take the wheels off when you get home and do it that way. Very easy with them off the car. Don't try to do it with them on the car.

It has worked great on my rims. Both the Porsche and the BMW's
