Rejex,any users?

I've heard a lot about Rejex. How many of you out there use it and how well do you like it compared to other wax produtcts out there. I'm growing tired of the dust on the rear.

I've used it on my wheels. Not really impressed and I'm not going to buy it again once my bottle runs out.

The Audi boards rave about it, but I haven't heard anything from MINI owners. I'm definately interested in hearing some reviews!

Why only on your wheels and what did you not like about it.Were you trying to keep brake dust from collecting?

yup. I found that a) brake dust accumulated just as if the rejex was not there and b) cleaning the brake dust was not significantly easier than without it. I never tried using it on the car itself, there didnt seem to be much point.

I tried using it sparingly, as well as slopping it on thick. The bottle recommends that you let it cure out of the elements for 12 hours and this I did do every time.

It didnt hurt, it didnt really help. I would not recommend it.

I've used it several time on my BBS RGR wheels and I think it helps a little bit. It seems to me like they stay cleaner a bit longer but there it no dramatic results to talk about.

Diamond Black. Yet another hard decision... but I like the Diamond black with the Electric Blue body color.

Yup, I have used it. Won't have any effect on the dust accumulation. Nothing does. It's a Mini trait.

Rejex is nothing all that special. A very high solvent, with mechanical abrasives, sealant. Bizarre bonding/curing properties. The car needs to sit for many hours (I have to check the bottle, I thin k they suggest 12) after application. It's not nearly as durable as one would hope.

It does apply and wipe off very easily.

I bought a bottle and used it once last year. Did the whole routine, too. Removed each wheel, washed and dried, applied Rejex on 2 and wax on the other 2. Cured overnight, the full 12 hours. I did not notice any real difference in the amount of brake dust built up or how easily it came off. I believe it is not worth it. Not necessarily the price, but the cure time. I feel that a regular wax performs just as well. Taking the time to do each one is enough. Not driving it for half a day after you are done sucks!

Anyone want a 2/3 full bottle of Rejex? pm me

Enjoy yours!
