I detailed two silver Vettes this weekend, one an 06 Z06 with 2,000 miles and the other an 05 coupe with about 11,000 miles.
It is a Polymer wax and goes on easy and wipes off even easier.
First wipe I didn't think it came off so I kept wiping, but the owner told me that's the way it works, you wipe it on and it stays one and you barely have anything to wipe off.
There was quite a bit of static wiping it off, so I shot some Z8 on it and no more static.
I like it alot, I was using NXT which I love, but RejeX is easier to wipe off.
Can't speek of it's durability as it's my first time using it.

Sorry, no pics now, besides I don't thinks pics are an accurate way to determine if a polish or wax is good or not as the lighting makes a big difference as do the surrounding environments, but will get some up later, the reflections were incredible for silver cars, plus scenery helped out.
You will get much better durability out of it than you did the NXT.
I've used NXT on all my DD cars. I've been real happy with it, but I'll have to throw some RejeX on them now and see how it fairs.
Other than Zaino, anyone know which is the next most dureable.............oops, isn't that the forbidden question??
I may just have to convert.
If I had a choice, I'd do the RejeX, let it sit a couple days, take it out wash it again with no Dawn and ReRejeX it. I bet a double coat of that stuff is wicked.
I have used it for my windshield and all windows in C-6. I still have water spots or marks from the windshield wipers. I can see a dried up film of water.
Because Z-8 is a spray seal that contains a polymer in it that extends the durability. If you are truly interested in the durability of Rejex then just use Rejex with no other product.

I got it. I thought maybe it wouldn't bond as well with the Z6 inbetween and the Z8 to finish it.
So it should hold up even longer then if I read you correctly.
Owner should like that better then.

Rejex gives me crystal clear glass.
It also reduces friction of the glass going up or down.
I also use it on my NAV screen & all tinted glass.

Zaino seems to have the best durability for me. I would say products like Klasse and Rejex are also towards the top of the list as far as durability goes. I also found that sealants like NXT and Tropicare are at the bottom of that list or the least durable. JMHO.
So it should hold up even longer then if I read you correctly.
No, it won't last as long. Z-8 adds durability. So if you don't use Z-8 it won't last as long.
As far as Z-6 being your base coat and then Rejex on top of that? I have no idea how that effects the durability or shine of Rejex. Again, to get true results, Rejex should be used alone and not with any other product.

That's what I did. I used the Z8 after I RejeX'd it. So it should hold up longer.
I will say with the process I used I don't think I've seen a more reflectant Silver car. I could see clearly from a distance a green bush in the side of the door. OOooooooohhh I'll just have to get some pics up. You'll see what I mean. Maybe the Z6 inbetween and Z8 to finish were valuable in this case.

Josh, nice write up. To answer your question on the durability of RejeX, you can count on at least 4-6 months out of a single application, and a lot longer if your car is garaged. I did a durability test, and I went almost 3.5 months until I decided to stop the test -which was still easily good for another month or more- and re-apply another coat. I've been driving my car a lot during the Summer and no garage, and needless to say, it has been exposed to the elements, and the product held up real well. I didn't use any QD to enhance shine or durability since that would also affect the integrity of the test, as it has been mentioned above.
A friend of mine gave me a good size sample of Adams DS and I've been using it on the hood. This is the only QD I've used so far. I hear FK-425 is also a good QD as it is Werkstatt Dura Glos, I believe it's called. It's just a matter of finding a good QD comparable to Rejex. I see nothing wrong with using Z6 or Z8 if that's giving you good results. Again, the durability of RejeX is up there with the best of them.
Good luck

That's what I did. I used the Z8 after I RejeX'd it. So it should hold up longer.

So are you saying that you used Z-6 and Z-8 to add durability and added gloss to Rejex?
After reading the Rejex instructions from their website I'm not sure I would have done what you did......I like to follow the manufactures instructions as I'm sure they know their product the best......I didn't see where you said you waited the required 12 hours for Rejex to cure......But, if your happy with the outcome, that's all that matters........Here is what they say....
Curing is required to allow the monomers (polymer building blocks) that make up RejeX to attach to the surface being treated and to polymerize (cross link) into a crystal-clear, impervious film. It is very important to allow RejeX to cure for 12 hours after the haze has been wiped off. If the coating is exposed to contamination such as oil, fuel, soot, water, cleaners, etc. before it has cured, the contaminants may interfere with the film, preventing the RejeX from achieving it's maximum performance and durability.
Both owners and myself were aware of this. I'm holding a bottle in my hand and it says not to apply any polish's or wax's over the RejeX as the abrasives may take the RejeX off.
Also to let set out of sunlight and elements for 12 hours so that it can cure without any contamintation attaching itself.
I don't believe the Z6 or Z8 was "bad" for the RejeX, if anything it was good for it. After 5 hours of sitting (while I finished the second car) there were absolutely no negative affects on the finish of the first car.
