Default Q: for Rejex users

Does the 16oz bottle do the whole car? I would assume so but wanted to hear from actual users.

Also has anyone used it and not been impressed with the results?

I bought a 16 oz bottle and didn't even use 1/5th of it for my whole car (and I must say it looks DAMN GOOD)!

Just my two cents.

P.S. If you are going to use it, don't forget the curing period (24 hours).

is this the one that is $17?
if so you should be able to do your car many many times. I use it for my wheels. I might give it shot on the whole car again once my PC pads arrive. I've been using Klasse SG and S100 for quite some time, that's a tough act to follow.

I've gone away from Rejex. Even though it is durable and gives a good shine, I like to rub Paulina's fenders, so I am using wax more often...

A bottle of Rejex is good for about 16 whole car applications.

Nick,

Using Rejex might reduce the number of repeat customers you get in a given time period. It allegedy lasts for 6 months. Good for your customers but might not be good for your cash flow.

It is a little less shiny than wax. On wheels, in a side by side test I did, it cause more brake dust to stick than on the wheel without rejex. I tried it on the windshield as some advocated too, but it was scraped off by the blades and left lines of material at the end of the blades' travel. Having said that, it is very durable and I'll probably continue to use it on the lower surfaces of the car. I may even wax over it for a little more depth.

I've been using Rejex for about a year now, on three different cars. Rejex definitely lasts a bit longer than other waxes, IF you prepare the surface correctly. You can't use any silicone-based polishes before Rejex. Before Rejex, I did clay bar, then Meguiar's Gold Class Paint Cleaner, then Menzerna Final Polish II (great product -- removes surface scratches extremely well). You can also use 3M Imperial Glaze instead of Menzerna as it also has no silicones or fillers. Contrary to what others have said, Rejex doesn't give you a better shine. In fact, it has no polishes or cleaners. The only thing it does better is protect your car longer. One of my cars sits outside all the time, and that's the true test. Water does bead up a bit longer than with Meguia's waxes that I used to use.

One bottle should do at least 5 mid-sized cars.
