Thanks for the tip. I'm going to Autozone today to pick up a bottle. I have to get rid of the swirl marks first though.

I just Rejex'ed my 530i (black) today, based on all the recommendations here. Thanks guys...

My comments:
  • I used more than others, it seems. I think I used about 1/3 of my 16 oz bottle, probably due to the fact that the cloth I used to apply the Rejex was very absorbent and 'ate' a lot to get to the point where it would apply nice and evenly.
  • The haze does not easily come off. Not as hard as wax, but I still had to lean in on the cloth to get all the haze up. I left the haze for about 30 mins; that could be why?
  • My overall shine was not any better than my original shine, but I had purchased a paint sealant treatment from my dealer at delivery. I would say the Rejex fully 'restored' that look. I like that.
I'm in my 12 hour bonding period now. Perhaps it will look better when back out in the sun - or perhaps I was expecting miracles? Still - if it protects my car from stains and bugs, its worth it.

You may have spread too much based on my experience. 'Course my car isn't black.

I bought mine online (there's a link somewhere on the forum, so just do a search). I bought two bottles. It was really worth the time. I'm about to do a 2nd application now that it's been a couple of months.

Even my wife noticed how shiny my car was. I fell out of my chair, and barely recovered. She wouldn't noticed the month old french fries in her car (a result of 3 and 6 year olds).

My testimony is this. If my wife noticed how amazing the car is, then imagine what you'll think!

James, my second coat seems to have set up harder, slicker and shinier than the first. From the looks of things, I may never need a third.

Hey JDN,

I just finished Rejexing my 124's (and my wifes summer wheels as well). That stuff really shines! I bought that stuff last year to protect the graphics on my box truck. I never really had a chance to do my E60. I can't wait until I can find the time to do the exterior! The wheels came out awesome. Now I just need to stay away from those yellow thingy's that you ran over.

Ah, the "insinuators." Memorable to say the least. Rejex didn't help, but the runflats did.

Sounds like this stuff is good.
For comparison, how does Rejex compare with Meguiars products, say their Gold Class Clear Coat Liquid Wax ? I found this to be a very good product indeed.
Coupled with their Scratch X swirl mark remover, gives a very good finish indeed.

I couldn't get Meguiars Scratch-X to completely remove my swirls.... is it something I need to repeat a few times to get fully to work?

Hey whats the process to applying RejeX when you already have existing WAX on your car? Do I need to use Dawn dishwashing detergent to get rid of all the wax first? or can I just RejeX over it?
