Thanks for the update - I think this is a great experiment. I have a bunch of different waxes in my garage and have been trying to decide whether to go with Rejex on a new car I recently bought. I've always used Zymol with pretty good results but have used Rejex on the leading edge of airplane wings with good results - bugs come off pretty easy if you get them right away. I don't have much experience with it on cars though.

I used rejex for years until I got opti-seal..... My initial impressions after waxing both my cars with optiseal is it stays slicker longer...making the car easier to wash.....oddly enough the hood does not reflect this???

Nice job Brian. It's hard to tell a difference from the photos. If you do another test, I'd love to see Zaino thrown in there. It's a favorite of many here.

Once again, excellent work!

I'd be curious to see how all 4 hold up after weekly washings with car wash soap, etc!

This is a good idea......maybe I'll wash it next time with DAWN (i.e death soap to waxes)....that should be very telling!

Looks great but for the life of me, I can't tell the difference between them! They all look good.
