How long does the Rejex work on the car? Trying to decide between the two....

Default I've had it on about a month and a half, but haven't noticed any degradation.

It seems to be most of what its cracked up to be. I haven't tried Zaino so I can't compare to that, but it is as good or better than One Grand Blitz wax, without the hazing issues and its very easy to remove.

I also haven't tried souvereign which is supposed to be very good on black, but also very expensive. I may try that out of curiosity some day, but the Rejex works very well and can be applied to all but porous surfaces and goes on and off with ease.

So even if it only lasts as long as anything else, it's easier to reapply and provides the same great results.

Do note that it is only a protectant, it will not fill in scratches, it will not remove oxidation, etc. I use Klasse All in One first. Klasse AIO has to be the single MUST OWN product out there. I've been using it since the late 80's and haven't seen anything better as a cleaner/polish. Works on everything, plastics, etc. No grit, just chemicals.

The great results, apparent longevity, and ease of use make both Klasse AIO and Rejex the best two products out there right now.

Default I'd use Rain-X, if you follow the instructions it works great, if you're going over 25mph you dont

need wipers.

Default Another vote for Aquapel. Works super well and lasts really long.

Holy toxic crap though, I thought I was going to pass out when I was applying it.

Default Not at all really, just don't inhale it. Basically you crack this little applicator,

spread it all over the windshield. Then let it sit? - I can't remember for sure. But then you just whipe it off with a towel. Make sure not to get it on any plastic or painted surface though! The instructions are very clear if you can get an application. I believe it is suppose to be applied at PPG places only. I got some free samples. One sample is good for the front and rear glass and the 2 front pieces (driver and passenger). I chose to do my gf's windshield and mine. It really is worth it. I'm going to do my subby this weekend if I have some time.
