A question for Zainophiles and Rejex fans. I used Z5 on the black vDub 4 weeks ago. At first, I saw very nice beading but now it seems to sheet the water rather than bead. I'm used to P21S which continues beading nicely for maybe 3 months, expected Z5 to last a lot longer. I'm still very happy with the depth of the shine, but is this normal? Will Rejex also be more of a sheeting action vs. beading? I might change my plans for waxing tomorrow based on the replies.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I used Rejex today, so we'll see what I get.

Rejex. It beads for around 2 months for me, but maybe more if I didn't end up Rejexing the car so often. And it's not that I need to, but that I just love Rejexing the car. It's easy and doesn't require my whole day or my wife coming down to the garage, ready to kill me all the time! LOL!
