I've been too busying enjoying my '05 Coupe to spend much time here recently. But, I did want to let everyone know of an amazing product I put on my Coupe last week.

It's called Rejex, and it's basically a thin-film polymer you put on your car's surface like wax. But, this stuff is AMAZING when it comes to keeping the bugs/tar/dirt from sticking. Perfect example: I usually get a little slingback after I apply my Meguire's tire gloss gel. After putting on Rejex on my spalsh guards, the slingback is SO easy to wipe away with a soft cloth (swiffer cloth). Better yet, there seems to be a lot less sticking than I've seen in the past.

The other beauty of this stuff is that is makes your car much shinier. It refract/reflects light quite nicely, so it always looks like my car has just been washed.

No, I'm not selling this stuff or making finders fees. Just passing along some info on a product I'm totally impressed with.

Check it out for yourself: Rejex Product Page

 

Any chance this is bad for the paint? My car sometimes gets whacked with some friggen tree sap...a PITA to get out.

 

Not bad for the paint at all. I looked into it before using it on my new wheels. You can do your whole car if you wanted too no problems! Only thing is that after applicaion they reco 12 hrs out of the elements to cure, so if you don't have a garage, it may be tough.

 

I wonder how far something like this might go toward protecting the paint better from rock chips. I always thought a good waxing helped a little.

 

This product sounds interesting but I can't help but compare it to the new Zaino Z2 since it's also listed as a polymer and many of the qualities between the two sound very similar (except the Zaino claims 6 months of protection).

This is the first I've seen of this product so obviously I haven't heard of any test comparisons that have evaluated both products and can give an objective opinion between the two.


Also, being that it's listed as a micron thick I wouldn't expect there'd be any type of rock protection.

 

I have been using Rejex and I am very happy with it. Most of the bugs splattered on the front come off with the hose w/out scrubbing.

 

I second most of the other comments here. This won't help with rock chips (think about the physics behind a 1/2 oz. rock fired at 60 mph at plastic-- guess which loses...), but does do a great job with making bug removal far easier. I was scubbing the bugs off pre-Rejex, but now they wipe off easily with hose or soft cloth. Just make sure you can garage your car for 12 hours for it to cure onto the car surface.

BTW- I also applied it to one front wheel (left) as a test to see how it fends off the brake dust. We'll see how it does come my next car wash vs. the untreated wheels.

 

I'll take your word on this as I just bought a bottle of the Rejex. Do you reccomend waxing before i put this on and what is the best method to get the car clean prior to putting this on?

 

I have a couple bottles of LEX...is that a similar product?

I've never used it, I only use polymer wax on the paint.

 

All you need to do is wash and dry your car really well, and then apply the Rejex inside your garage. It goes on like a wax, and then buffs off like one as well. I used microfiber cloths for the Rejex application.

 

I would look into possibly using Dawn soap to wash the car before applying any polymer based products. Dawn will strip all th old wax off so you can then re-coat using the new stuff. I have used crystal guard and zaino kits and I Dawn'ed before using the initial first coat.
