The directions only say not to apply waxes or polishes over RejeX as the abrasives found in these products will remove the RejeX protection. I had many coats of BMW polish and Carnuba wax on my E-60 before I found out about and applied RejeX. Don't know if it made any difference or not, but the finish is great!

Once you get RejeX properly applied and cured per directions, you can forget wax, unless you just need a reason to apply more RejeX.

From the RejeX website:

RejeX can be used over existing wax; however, the duration of protection will be reduced as the softer underlying wax degrades comparatively quickly. There is no reason to wax over RejeX. As we?ve already said, RejeX leaves a shinier, longer-lasting finish than wax? and the wax can't adhere well to RejeX!

Well, if you say it twice you must really mean it

Thanks guys, looks like I gotta get on the Rejex band wagon. Maybe I can get it in before the car gets here and I'll lie in wait for it with Rejex in hand

Im thinking about having they guy who waxes our boat use Rejex and give it a try. The problem is that the boat is 60ft and it will cost a forture to use Rejex to wax it.

i didn't wax, just rejexed. now time to throw away your 6000 bottles of waxes and replace them with one bottle of rejex. then you have enough space to park a new m5 in your garage .
