Applied my first coat on Friday. Great shine and.....very smooth. Will apply the second coat today. Did the glass inside and out and could not believe how clear it was.

Does anyone know whether or not I can buy Rejex at a regular walk-in retailer, or is it only available on-line / mail order?

The best price available is from Barry at http://www.x-autoproducts.com/ and his shipping is fast! but if you must walk in somewhere to buy this great product another Forum vender does sell it,but why bother when Barry doesn't even charge shipping and is cheaper than them.

Its not available in Autozone & Pepboys. A forum member did post it was available at True Value Hardware.
Why not order it from X-auto Products? Free shipping you will have it in about 3 to 4 days.

I really don't see the "Zaino is too much work" argument. Once the car is prepped (and that should be done before any "wax") the application is the same as RejeX without the 12 hour cure time. I have tried both, in fact have both on my car right now. Running my hand over both I feel no difference in slipperiness. I do like to use RejeX on wheels and glass, the rest I do in Zaino because I don't have to worry about slopping over the flat black parts.

Me either. I put Rejex on my car a month or so ago. I liked the product.

I just put Zaino on yesterday. It goes on and comes off easier than Rejex - almost as easy as Pinnacle Souveran (which is the easiest I have ever used).

I like to try different products, so I am not "committed" to any of them. In my experience, Zaino is easier than Rejex. And, on my car, has better reflection and more depth.

The full Zano treatment is MUCH more work than Rejex and much more expensive. If you want the best value for your hour of effort then the answer is easy. If you are a fantic and have a black C6 the full Zano method may be the way to go.

My full Zaino treatment was 2 coats of Z5. My full Rejex treatment was 2 coats of Rejex. I think both are around $20/bottle. I used less Zaino than Rejex. I was able to complete the 2 Zaino coats in less than an hour. The Rejex 2nd coat was applied the next day (as indicated in the directions). And, the Rejex was more difficult to apply.

After the 2 coats, the Zaino shine is deeper and wetter than the similar treatment of Rejex.

Just my experience with the 2 products.

It does not get any easier than Zaino or PS as far as application. I also have not found anything that looks as good as Zaino.

The only "work" involved is surface prep, which I can't believe that anyone still thinks that it is a Zaino only thing. Geeezzz, come on!!! So with Rejex, no one does any surface prep, what's wrong with you. You should do surface prep regardless of the product you use, IF you want to acheive the optimum results.

Yup, exactly. Sal Zaino is the only one who ever went to the trouble of including proper paint preparation in his product instructions, so that people think you only need to do this with Zaino. You should do those steps even if you use Turtle Wax.

But not to divert the thread. I think the results with Rejex above are really beautiful. Congrats on a nice job, and some beautiful vehicles.

To Rejex..........Heck yes!

What specific paint preparation needs to be done? I see this being discussed all the time but never any specifics. I use Klasse All in One and Menserna High Gloss Acrylic Spray. I'd like to give Zaino a try (I use the Zaino leather cleaner, leather conditioner, and tire gloss) but after reading all the different posts, it sounds very confusing. As an example, I have seen posts saying that you have to use Z6 after washing and before Z2; other posts say wash and just apply Z2 and then Z6. It would seem to me that after washing, you may have water spots....how are the spots removed if Zaino has no cleaners?
