RejeX polymer
#4
Great stuff. Been on a 1400 trip up and down the east coast 4 times. Rejex did the work and not a single ding on the front of my car.
As stated above, it's easy to use.

Thanks for sharing! I'm searching for options to apply to my new Z the day it shows up so as to reduce the chances of permanent paint damage without applying 3M or Expel. Here's a link to the RejeX page: http://www.rejex.com/rejex.html
A buddy of mine just recommended something called Pro 9H (I think it's European) after having someone apply it to his ZR1. He says he loves it, but the paint needs to be prepped ahead of time, as it's permanently bonded and can only be removed by "abrasion." Here's a link to their page: http://ceramic-pro.com/portfolio/ceramic-pro-9h/
There are a few interesting YouTube videos for these products as well, but looking for fellow C7 folks to share their personal experiences.
Does anyone have some real world experience with both of these two products and/or recommendation on which works best?
Happy to create a new thread on the comparison of these 2 products, but I figured it might be more efficient to compare them here.

There are scores of threads on these forums about Rejex. I have used it for years.
It is much easier to apply than a coat of wax. You put on a very thin coat and wipe off the haze several minutes later. If you have to rub hard, you put on too thick a coat. Then park the car in the garage for about twelve hours to cure the coating. A second coat has almost no value.
My experience is that the Rejex coat lasts about six months or a little more. I did my Vettes in the Spring and again in the Fall. Takes around 30 minutes plus another 20 minutes to do the wheels.
The result is a very thin, very slippery coating that bugs and dirt and tar tend to slide off of. Makes washing road gunk etc. a breeze. It has a "plastic" sort of shine to it, as opposed to some of the deep wax shines. You don't wax over it because the surface is too slick.
You can also apply Rejex over paint protection film or on the windows to get the same slippery coating.
Note that Rejex is an alternative to wax, not an alternative to a paint protection film. Check out the Rejex versus Zaino threads that appear every couple weeks it seems like.
With the Z06 I decided to try Opticoat, much more expensive but supposedly lasts two years.

I have several coats of Rejex on my new CCW wheels but have yet to drive the car this year. So I really cannot give you an answer from experience. However everyone seems to be of the opinion the coating really does make a positive difference.

It definitely makes the surface slippery enough that brake dust cleans off more easily. And, of course, the dust sits on the Rejex and not on the wheel's clearcoat. I would only use one coat, as the second coat doesn't add much protection and does not make it last any longer.. It isn't like wax, where multiple coats might be useful. (The second coat is sitting on the slippery first coat, not on the clearcoat.)

I'll chime in... Been using it for years, absolutely love it! Easy to apply, easy to buff off, leaves a great shine (some have said it looks a bit synthetic, but YMMV) and protects for a long time.
10/10 would buy (in fact I just did) again...and again....and again

I put it on my wheels on the Vettes prior to the Z06. I used Opticoat on the current Z06 just to try it.

I did a couple of coats and the shine seemed to get deeper looking with each coat. I am pretty sure the directions state you can do multiple coats....with a curing period in between.

Not sure but I bought one bottle and have coated a car twice, full size truck twice and Jeep Grand Cherokee 3 times and still have over half the bottle left. Not sure how,it will hold up but I'm going to try it on my boat in a few weeks....make it so slippery it should be good for a few more MPH

I've got all new Zaino products ready to go, dam weather won't cooperate though. I have a relative that does details private jets and he swears by this reJex. I had never heard of it on the forum
