I know it's not politically correct to get on here and stump for one's own products, so I won't. I work for Corrosion Technologies who manufactures RejeX, so if you guys have any questions or concerns, I'm happy to address them.

To ITSDREW,

High temperature is an issue with RejeX. We're in Texas, so we have the same problem. To get around it, the best strategy is to wash your car in the late afternoon and RejeX in the evening. That way it can cure overnight in the cooler temperatures. As long as your paint is in good condition, RejeX is very easy to apply. You should be able to do your entire truck in a half hour tops.

Since you're in such a dry environment and RejeX is moisture-curing, it's best to let it cure overnight anyway. The problem with excessive heat is that high temperatures (and this is especially important on dark paint in direct sunlight) on the application surface will semi-melt the monomer building blocks of RejeX, so they don't get proper adhesion to the paint. This compromises the product's longevity. Once RejeX cures (it actually polymerizes on the vehicle) heat is no longer an issues as it's stable to over 600 degrees (it was originally developed to keep jet turbine exhaust from tearing up paint and causing aluminum airframes to corrode).

To carbap82,

Roger that. I figured that out the hard way too. RejeX isn't actually bleaching the weather stripping. RejeX won't harm the rubber trim at all, but what's happening is that since RejeX is a liquid, it gets into the pores of that black rubber material and "puddles" in there. That's why we don't recommend using it on porous materials like rubber trim and some of the highly texturized plastic surfaces you find on some trucks. Unfortunately, RejeX doesn't degrade like waxes do, so it won't just go away over time (like you've probably observed when you accidentally get wax into a crevasse – eventually the wax just dries, and the powder flakes off). Fortunately, they make a paint pen that you should be able to get at any auto supply that carries detailing products, which blackens weather stripping and returns it to original color.

Well, I tried it out. I've used a LOT of different waxes and polishes over the years. Heck, I've got about a half dozen different waxes in the garage right now. And I must say, I'm very impressed with Rejex.

Goes on very easy, no problems there, and give it a 9 (1-10 scale.) Comes off pretty easy too. A light coat, as usual, is better than a heavy coat. If you 'clump up' a heavy section, it'll need a little elbow grease to get these white specs off. Overall, the better you put it on, the easier it comes off, I'd give it an 8.

Over all shine? A 9. The colors look really deep, and the shine is blinding! I put it on my chrome bumpers too, and they look like mirrors, literally.

The overall feel is VERY slick. I can see why bugs won't stick to it. Don't bother setting anyting on the hood, it's going to slide right off. Not that I would risk scratching the paint by setting something on it.

Cleaning factor has got to be a 10, better than anything I've ever heard about or used. Drove around for 3 days, and the rims have no brake dust on them, and it still looks great. I almost want to go out at night and hit some bugs, just to see what it'll do.

Overall flexibility of use, an 8. I like that I can use it on chrome and paint, but don't get it near black trim, or you'll get the white stains. I used it on the motorcycle too, hoping to keep bugs off the headlight and windscreen, which are plastic. Went on and off great, and really slick shiney finish.

The best thing to use it on is the wheels. Real shiney, and so slick, brake dust won't stick.

Downside? Cleaning factor, I'd give it a 2. Don't bother waxing if you have water spots or the like, because all you'll do is seal right over them, preserved in their natural state until this stuff wears off. I'd only suggest this for paint in really good condition. I tried it on some old painted motorcycle parts, and it didn't work so good. And the curing time is really long, and you're not supposed to put it over other waxes, because then it won't last as long.

We'll see how it stands up under time, but so far, so good. I'm really happy with it so far. I'll give it a 9, losing a point for sealing in a couple of water spots. Haven't seen yet how it beads water, but I've heard some people don't like that.

Shine is awesome though, makes all colors look really deep. I would recommend it to anyone living in a bug infested area, wanting a long lasting protective shine.

I will throw my support into the ring. Love the shine and smooth surface it creates. Makes cleaning it a breeze. And you can also use it on the windows. My windows were never cleaner. The towel slides right off!

The only drawback I found is that Mr Clean no longer works! Oh well, I think it's a good tradeoff

I have used rejex on my wifes Cayenne (silver) and it is fantastic. Bugs, spooge and Sh*t wipe right off. I aslo tried it on my '96 911 (black) with less than favorable results. While the shine was good, there were slight swirl marks from the rejex that I could not remove easily. I went back to using Griots Machine Polish and Best of show wax for the 911. My Titan ('05 Black) will be in next week and it will get rejexed right away. I think it is a great product for newer cars.

After a month, the Rejex is holding up really well. Cars are so easy to clean, and the rims stay cleaner much longer, and come clean really easy, too. Shine is still good, and water still beads up well.

Did I mention it was much easier to wash?
