High carnuba content gives excellent short term shine, but needs refreshing often.
Klasse and German car paint seem to interact quite well. Sonax is good too.

it's kinda pricey. I have it (although I haven't used it in a couple of months...mostly out of laziness) and I find that if you have a buffer, it'll be way more effective than waxing by hand (which gets pretty tiring). That reminds me, I should get the buffer out of the closet in the garage and use it this weekend.
Happy Easter to you, too.

...about using polish, followed by a couple of coats of Glaze, and then applying the Rejex. Would you go with a coat of wax first--or is that redunant with the Rejex?

and the real stuff which costs much more, and works much better. It is a royal pain to remove though, and works best when humidity is low.

Then I use the Rejex.
The Rejex has no 'polish' and will not hide any scratches or swirls at all. However, it is the wettest, deepest most reflective shine, with the greatest durability, of anything I've tried. Beats Blitz shine hands down on my car.
Klasse AIO does a very nice job of mending minor scratches, oxidation and haze without using any abrasives, and leaves the finish perfect for the Rejex application.
To each his own, but the Rejex is my favorite for now. It's also very nice b/c you can use it on EVERY surface and it will not chalk (well, not for tires, etc) but it (and K AIO) are very forgiving around rubber trim, etc, and both will also work on the ar matte trim parts, as well as glass, headlights, taillights, etc etc.
Essentially, just do whatever you must to get the scratches and haze out of your finish - one or two coats of AIO and/or Meguiars Body Scrub should suffice (do Meguiars with a high speed buffer, then follow with Klasse AIO using a random orbital, then apply Rejex by hand or w/ random orbital) and once the finish is perfect enough for your taste, use the Rejex.
Just know that the Rejex makes a phenomenal shine, but doesn't hide imperfections.
I wouldn't apply any wax or glaze before the Rejex, those are 'substitute' products, not 'complement' products.
Good luck, let us know how it goes and what you think of it!

product. I have found few waxes in the same price range that compare to the finish Zymol provides. But it will wear your *** out buffing it off. The key is to not let it dry - 10 to 20 secs and wipe off.

really - blitz is so easy to pit on, and take off, I don;t see how there can be much better as far as carnubu based stuff. I get about 2-3 months from 2 coats (24 hours apart)
