Have you guys heard of the product "Rejex"?? Is a polish/non wax protectant...
I use the stuff on my new Boxster and I have to say this stuff is amazing. It is very easy to apply, similar to Zaino however it lasts much longer. You have to apply it in the shade and then let it cure for 12 hours before driving the car.
It was developed origionally to be used by the aerospace industry to make it more difficult for exhaust residue to stick to the planes or helicopters.
Well you should see how great it works on my Boxster rims. I get soooo much brake dust on them, and with rejex on the rims they just wipe right off with no scrubbing. It also leaves a pretty good shine on the paint, and it is so slippery.
Give it a try you will love it too.
cheers
I homologate. It is a terrific product.
I first tried it on the xB as the flat front end was a haven for
bug remnants. Amazing. The bugs wiped right off.
Just remember this product is not a wax or polish, so wax
your car first, and then apply it on top. The instructions
say it will last about three months.
I use it on my wheels. it makes it easier to get dust and road grime off.

I have heard it works well on wheels. Do you know if it will get little black spots (of brake dust) off white wheels?

I'm not sure if it will remove pre-existing spots and dirt or not.
It is not advertised to do so. It adheres to the surface to prevent
any other dirt and grime from sticking, so I would start off with
a clean slate before applying.

But here is what one of the sites that sells Rejex says about it's properties:
"RejeX can be used over existing wax; however, the duration of protection will be reduced as the softer underlying wax comes off comparatively quickly. There’s no reason to wax over RejeX. As we’ve already said, RejeX leaves a shinier, longer-lasting finish than wax… and the wax can't adhere well to RejeX!"
So what's the deal... why can't this be used all over instead of a wax or other protectant for the paint?:impatient

I will be the guinea pig. I ordered some RejeX this morning and will apply it to my car when it gets here in a few weeks. The FAQ section on their website also says it is fine to use it over Clearbra which I will have. If it doesn't look like it's doing like they say in a few months, I'll try something else.
I am very familiar with Rejex and have done exhaustive tests on it both on-car and on test panels. It is very easy to apply and if not applied to heavily, easy to remove. But I found it has nowhere near the durability of a properly applied Zaino application.
Roadfly Wax Tests came to the same conclusion.
When it's stated that it's not a wax or polish, that's just semantics. Rejex is a high solvent based polymer. It's not a carnauba (wax) and not full of abrasives (polish) although I won't swear that it doesn't have some mechanical abrasive in it even though they state it doesn't. It does definitely last longer when applied to a bare paint surface than if you layer it on top of another less durable wax-for instance any carnauba.
The thing that I find a pain is that you have to let it cure for 12 hours and the car should not get wet during that time. If it does then it hampers the finish and it can get streaky looking. So you have to be prepared to garage the car.
Not bad stuff. Just another flavor for those with different tastes!

1) RejeX is not a polish, it will not do anything to clean the surface, including removal of brake dust, swirls, etc. To clean your surface, use a combination of a clay bar, polish (i.e. Menzerna FP2, Poorboy's World SSR, etc), or a cleaner/wax (i.e. Zymol Cleaner Wax, Klasse AIO), and then follow with your selection of wax/protectant (unless using a cleaner wax).
2) RejeX was developed as a "high-release" polymer. It was not designed as a protectant. Therefore, I personally would not use it as my only paint protectant. I know people who do, but their cars are normally not exposed to a lot of environmental hazards. If you're looking for a good long-lasting protectant, then look at Menzerna FMJ or the Klasse twins.
3) RejeX does work well on wheels, the windshield, lights, etc. Makes them easier to clean, and it also seems to help keep ice from sticking to the windshield in winter.
4) If your primary goal is cleaning and/or protecting the wheels, try Wheel Wax instead. It's both a very good cleaner and a great protectant, saves you a step.
Simple Green will clean your white wheels. Just rince it off well, and then wax them.
I used to use simple green and elbow grease on the wheels, till I tried a product specifically designed to to remove brake dust from wheels (and safely), and I had one of those "what the heck have I been doing without this for so many years!?!?"
I would recommend P21S or Sonus Rim Bright, both seem to work equally amazingly in my experience.
My undeniable proof was my tire brush...which had been black for years, was suddenly back to its original white
I was going to order a bottle of rejex since all the guys over on 6speed rave so much about it, when time came to order it.....shipping costed more then the actual product!eek2: was my first reaction. I have yet to order it......
I picked up my car Tuesday evening and applied the Rejex last night. Washed the car first ( I think the dealer applied some sort of wax) and put on the Rejex just as the sun was setting. It went on and off very easily using diapers for cloths, not so sure about the "cure" period. I did go out to dinner, then the car sat under cover overnight. I had one errant bug on the front of the car after arriving at work this morning, it came right off with my finger. No comments yet, I'll report back after a few weeks to tell you how it's holding up.
I bought Rejex last year and have applied it to my wheels a couple of times. Probably won't spend for it again. I have waxed them before, also. Neither treatment lasts very long or actually keeps the dust from sticking very well. Initially, maybe. But not for longer than a couple of weeks. So my next expenditure will probably be for pads instead, and just keep using any old wax on the wheels. I actually enjoy the process of taking them off and washing them front and back. But they still get dirty fast.
Oh, well, it just means I am having fun, braking hard, using up tread!
Enjoy yours!

As I have posted before, I swear by NuFinish. This is a cleaner (with solvent) and a polymer. It is very easy to apply. Put in on once, wait 30 and put on a second coat. Will last for a year. I also use it on the windows to act like Rain-X. It also works great on the wheels. Just a clean rag wipes off the dust. Consumer Reports also give this high marks.
After I put NuFinish on the bonnet, it was so slick that a rag would just slide off.
