The X is done "curing"..... rejex removed and looking sharp
Got up early to beat the sun coming around and shining on my driveway and put a nice coat of Rejex on the X.
Now it sits in the garage for 12 hours to let the Rejex cure. I guess I'll just have to suck it up and drive the C6 today lol. Pics when it's done. |
:tapping:

Must be extraordinary stuff...my Zaino goes on and buffs off
in about an hour, if I'm slacking. "Curing"? Damn...I gotta see this; maybe Gresch will pull out one of his cams and post a pic. |
The Rejex must be a great product with a great result... but at what cost? He now has to drive the C6? Poor guy will know he's not in his X5... :D

Rejex needs to cure on the car for 12 hours, you can buff it sooner but it won't last as long, it's a polymer orginally developed for use on airplanes, and lasts about 4-6 months depending on weather conditions etc. I usually apply a coat in the spring and fall and sometimes a 3rd time if need be. Normally I would apply a coat of Rejex in the late afternoon and buff it off the the next morning (takes about 15 minutes to remove) but I had plans this afternoon etc etc so I put it on this morning. So tomorrow morning I'll buff it off and be good for the next 3-6 months. By the way, Rejex can be applied to the wheels, headlights, tail lights and glass, it's great stuff. No wax i've ever used, zaino/meguiars/etc, has ever lasted as long as or looked as good as Rejex (over time). Here's a link for you chuckleheads: RejeX®: So Slick, Bugs Can't Stick! |

Wow that looks like a very small garage how the hell do you get in and out of the car?

Awesome stuff.
Was originally used by the military to keep soot from weighing down helicopter rotor blades. |
The after pics
1 other thing to mention about Rejex, it doesn't create a ton of white residue/dust like wax does. It took me about 15 minutes to remove it after it was applied about a half hour to buff it out in the morning.
Cloudy day so they don't "pop" as much as I would like but here they are: http://www.pcorca.com/pics/IMG_1065w.jpg http://www.pcorca.com/pics/IMG_1067w.jpg |
Woo hoo! Looks great! :2thumbs:

I was thinking this is just like any other polymer sealants and it is. From their website:
"RejeX is wiped on, allowed to dry to a haze for approximately 20 minutes, wiped off, then allowed to cure for 12 hours. Curing is required to allow the monomers (polymer building blocks) that make up RejeX to attach to the surface being treated and to polymerize (crosslink) into a crystal-clear, impervious film. It is very important to allow RejeX to cure for 12 hours after the haze has been wiped off. If the coating is exposed to contamination such as oil, fuel, soot, water, cleaners, etc. before it has cured, the contaminants may interfere with the film, preventing the RejeX from achieving it's maximum performance and durability." NXT 2.0 is actually a cleaner/sealant. It works great but does not last just like any other consumer products. You'll want to use the meg prof line vs the consumer line products. I'm no expert but apply a couple thin even coats of RejeX and a couple thin even coats of a carnauba wax (P21S or similar) and you'll get more than the "pop" you are expecting:thumbup: |

Regarding the curing, the only part of the X that I leave the rejex on over night is the hood, it seems to last longer when I do that, but it could be just me hoping Lol :) after the 12 hours I buff the entire car. |
Cool man:thumbup:. I was just wondering why you left the residue on overnight.

Looks sweet.. so you apply it, let it haze, wipe off haze like any other wax, then buff 12 hours later?

I tried Meguiars NXT 2.0 on my X, my gf's 3 and my mom's 3 vert over a month ago, and I thought it was terrible. It wore off very quickly. Now all the girls are bugging me for another round, this RejeX seems like it will keep em quiet for a bit :thumbup: |
Nice shine.

Before you apply Rejex, wash the car with Dawn, then wash it again with an automotive soap like Meguiars to get the Dawn off. Dry the car thorougly, then apply the Rejex (I apply it by hand, not with an orbital, it goes on easily, and you don't need a lot, it's not like a wax, more is definitely not better) It's tough to find Rejex in a store by the way, True Value hardware stores have it sometimes, and can order it for you possibly. I ordered it online at skygeek.com. |
I love trying new waxes, I used to use mothers on my old e46 and loved it, it seemed to last a while. I never tried menzerna, but I'd like to maybe next summer... I think I'll try and get my hands on some of this RejeX it sounds interesting.. Great info, thanks!

I think you have a cam laying around there...;) Fwiw, we Zaino'd the CEO's new Hyundai Tuscon today, and she even helped. :thumbup: BR, mD |
Ah, Rejex; I only use mine when winter comes along. Right now, I'm finishing up my supply of Meguiar's NXT which has a bit more pop than Rejex. I love the longevity of Rejex compared to the 3-4 weeks of NXT though.
