Anyone out there actually use Rejex?

I want to know...

Does it ONLY make it easier to clean the wheels or does it actually not allow/help with dust accumulating and sticking to the wheels?

Its meant to make it easier to clean, not stop it happening

Does anyone know of a uk supplier for rejex, I've always waxed the alloys with zymol but thought I might give rejex a try for my new car

I just ordered from Bethel-Marine in Florida, no help for the UK, though. BM's price of $12.95 was enticing, but the $9.44 shipping was a booger. Even so, probably better than the $19.95 alternative (16 oz.) plus the add ons.

I don't want it for brake dust as much as to see if it might be a viable alternative to waxing.

Looks cool, I just might give it a try. JDN tell us how it works when you done. Do you think it could damage our wheels?

I wouldn't think so. It is recommended as a sub for wax. I have only heard good recommendations for Rejex. Thought that it would be worth a try. Lady said it would be here tomorrow - Florida to Dallas, seems fast, but shipping was $9.44.

I've been using RejeX for over 3 weeks now. Wheels are easier to clean, just wipe with soft cotton rag and they're clean and shiny again. No stubborn brake dust build up that needs washing or scrubbing. I reapply every other car wash.

Just ordered rejex from Bethel-Marine. Ordered two bottles they would have charged me essentially the same shipping cost as one bottle. Then they agreed to ship using my fedex account which will save $$ and get it here overnight.
Will advise on Monday results of wheels. May use on body of car also. Was advised that pollen will not stick on car.

Pollen won't stick! Now that is one heck of a claim. If pollen won't stick, what will? Pollen is naturally sticky by nature -- that's the business that pollen is in, sticking.

On the directions, they state that a 12 hour curing time is needed. A bit long, but if it makes it last longer, might as well.

JDN,
If I were using it on the entire car, I'd probably put it over the wax myself.

Putting over wax will be the easiest way since I wouldn't have to use a cleaner. This stuff just sounds too easy. We're supposed to do everything the hard way to get it right, right?

I had read about that 12 hour curing time. I can easily put it on around 5 in the afternoon and let her sit garaged until about 9 the next morning.
