What is the process. Do I need to wax before the application, or does removing the haze do the same thing as applying wax.

I was going to do the following:
- Wash
- Pollish
- Clay bar it - where it needs it
- Rejex it
I am probably going to be working my ass off for 8+ hours to do all of this.

Alohalc has it. Unless the finish is pretty bad shape, just apply the RejeX and remove it according to instructions on the bottle. Works for me, but I made the first application when the car was relativeley new. I had already applied carnauba immediately on delivery before I decided to start using RejeX. I did not remove the wax but that did not seem to be a factor. I have applied once more during the past year. The second application really set up a finish that stays slick to the touch.

Thanks Guys. Looks like I should skip the wax.

Here's info from their site:

Can you use RejeX over wax?
While RejeX will certainly work over wax and give you the benefits of enhanced gloss, superior protection for your paint and rejection of stains, it?s better to put RejeX right on top of the paint. Waxes are typically much softer and less durable than RejeX. When RejeX is put on top of wax ? even though RejeX will protect and extend the life of the wax ? eventually the wax will degrade. When that occurs, the RejeX protection will wash off with the old wax (since in this case RejeX is bonded to the wax rather than directly to the paint). To get full longevity out of the product, use RejeX instead of wax.

Exactly same experience regarding the finish Jim.

Hey since Rejex can protect the wax... what if I wax the Rejex to protect the Rejex? maybe it can last a year now!

I am pretty sure it can last a year if garaged without going through that loop. I did mine twice in one year and it is still going strong. It was still bubbling water when I did the second application.
