Naturally, i asked why they switched, to which the replied: I was lucky enough to actaually talk to 5 guys who used the ones you mentioned, but currently use rejex. I made my decision based on what the guys at a porsche owners club said/used in Sarasoda Florida. When asked why I chose REJEX over the other brands that offer the "same" functional value: But then again, I usually hand wash my cars and always use RejeX, so I don’t tend to accumulate swirls. My car is a 1999 and has 50k miles on it, and I’ve only clay bar-ed it twice. Polish and clay bar whenever you accumulate enough scratches, swirls and scuffs that you decide it’s worth the extra effort. You should only have to clay bar and polish after fairly long time intervals. So you don’t have to strip the old buildup off like you sometimes have to do with waxes. When you reapply RejeX, you’re just adding to the depth of the protective coating and replacing it wherever it’s worn away. It’s eventually eroded off by wind, dust and airborne particles. Just keep applying RejeX in 6-month (or more frequently) intervals. Once the polish/RejeX concoction has worn off, you shouldn’t need to polish or clay bar for a long time. The shine tends to last longer than the environmental protection aspects of the product, so you’ll see bugs beginning to adhere to your front bumper several months before the shine begins to dissipate. Normally RejeX last 6-8 months or more on a daily driver. If you’re using RejeX on top of a quality wax, you should get about 3-4 months of good wear. I continued my conversation with the REJEX tech and this is what he said:Ī rough estimate based on personal experience. UPDATE: I emailed meguairs and will post their comment on any silicone oil in their NXT product line. Now i just need to see if it contains any silicone oil. I'm a big fan of the NXT polish, so i asked about it specifically. I’ve had discussions with the engineers at 3M and generally find the science behind their products to be top notch. It is only a cleaner/polish it contains no silicone, and it does not leave any sort of residue. If you need to prepare your paint, I can recommend 3M’s Perfect-It Fine Cut Rubbing Compound. As such, it wouldn’t be the ideal preparation for RejeX. Further, Meguiar’s NXT is a cleaner wax, so it’s designed to both clean and leave a protective wax barrier behind. Meguiar’s makes some fine products in their professional line, but it is our understanding that many of their consumer range of products contain silicone oil. Sometimes the cloudiness disappears within 12 hours, and sometimes the RejeX needs to be stripped off for the cloudiness to dissipate.Īs a manufacturer, we believe it to be good business protocol to avoid commenting on other manufacturer’s products. When RejeX is applied on top of products that contain silicone oil, we’ve occasionally experienced problems with cloudiness. ![]() Silicone oil contaminates paint and can cause major problems if you ever have to repaint your vehicle. The other problem concerns products that contain silicone oil. So the net result of using RejeX on top of wax is that while you do get the enhanced shine, gloss and protection that RejeX affords, it won’t last nearly as long as it would had you applied it directly onto the paint. The issue is this: because waxes are so much softer and less durable than RejeX, when the wax eventually degrades and washes off, the RejeX protection will wash off with the wax (since RejeX is actually bonding to the wax and not directly to the paint). The main issue we want to bring to our customers’ attention occurs when using RejeX on top of products (waxes or polishes) that leave a wax residue behind. It will bond to almost any hard, smooth, nonporous surface. The more correct answer is that RejeX will go over almost any wax/polish product. What you’ve heard is not precisely correct. I recently email their manufacturer about a "rejex myth" that stated how using a polish before applying the rejex will prevent a proper bond to form b/t paint and rejex. All i have to do is spray.Īnyhow, i know some of you (especially those who own porsches) swear by this stuff like I do. For me, I'm still amazed at how i dont even have to appy pressure to remove bird droppings, brake dust (on the rims), etc. What: My research and conversations with tech's concerning this product.Īlthough rejex is best used when applied to a new/virigin paint job, with a good clay barring, it will make your day in ways you never thought possible. ![]() Purpose of this thread: to better inform IWS.com members of a fantastic product.
