IMHO Rejex was made for truckers not for cars for car show. I think of it more for industrial application. Ive used it on my wheels so the dirt comes off easily when washed. But it(rejex) does not do a good job in keeping it mile deep looking for a long time. I use Meguiars # 27 Profesional wax for the car.

A paint surface that is polished before the use of Rejex, or one that has Rejex applied first and then has a filler glaze applied on top of Rejex will match or exceed any "depth" that an organic wax provides.

The "depth" of a finish has to do with how spectrally flat the paint surface is. Organic waxes such as Meguires, Zanio, etc. have fillers in them that level out the microscratches that all paint surfaces have. This allows light to reflect evenly instead of having the microscratches act like a diffraction grating, scattering the light and gives the "depth" that you talk about.

My observation with Rejex is it will put that initial shine but does not last as regular car wax(on the shiny side) but its properties in rejecting dirt is outstanding.

That could be, but mine seems to last 6 months or so before it needs a touch-up. Next time you do a Rejex coating, after it has cured, give the surface a top coat of Machine glaze to level the finish. This will help the paint give a better "depth" presentation.
