Default Zaino or Rejex? More confused by the day!
OK... just vote and give a quick blurb as to why...

I don't mind buying either, but don't want both...
and it's NOT like some cheap looking clear coating that leaves a greasy film that dries like a coating like Futura on the linoleum floors is it?

THANKS ALL,
Ed

Use Zaino on the car and Rejex on the wheels. Why? Because that's the intended use of the products.

You know what... our 996's look so good... it almost doesn't matter which wax you want to use. It'll look good either way!

to be sure....the most important part is pep. after that...it is all personal preference. I have used several types of carnuba (PS2, zymol) and several polymers ( rejex, nsx) but I don't use anything but Zaino now!

Yes.
Oh, and you will buy hundreds of dollars of products trying to find the perfect shine. Make room on a shelf somewhere.

RejeX- on the wheels, bumpers, and mirrors, for bug & dirt release.
Zaino- everywhere else.

I am seeing this (after sever $100's already) Maybe instead of a shelf I should build an additional garage!! LOL

I am getting the picture now and will go ahead and buy BOTH - to ADD to the already full shelf of Griot's products (shich I am moderately happy with)

What do you use on the inside?

Technically, I think you're supposed to use Zaino on your car and Rejex on your airplane.

I use Rejex on the cars, the boats, and the airplanes, and they all go faster! Plus Rejex will prevent the browning that happens on the exhaust tips of both the cars and the turboprops.

Same idea, easier to use - Ultima Paint Prep Plus and Ultima Paint Guard Plus.

http://www.autopia-carcare.com/ultima.html

Polish and sealant - sooooo much easier than the products mentioned above, and stunning results.

PPP application is a 10 minute task on a 996 - and no buffing afterwards - eaaaaaasy!
