Rejex-ted Evo

Read about Rejex from here and I thought I'd try it out. Got a bottle for about $18 and it was well spent. Didn't wanna go through the Zaino route cause, for one thing... pricey, but also... TOO much work. It's a great product, no doubt, but I wanted to try something simple to use.

My friend has a Zaino thread recently and he wanted to compare so I thought I'd post some pics of my car after using Rejex. Basically, what I did was:
Step 1: Wash the car with dish soap and car wash soap mix.
Step 2: Dry car and put one coat of the Rejex and let haze.
Step 3: Wiped the haze off and let it sit for 8-12 hours (overnight)
Done!

I did not claybar at all... BUT I will try it soon cause I found sooooo much crap on my clearcoat/paint and chips.. But got the car as clean as I could and well here's the results.

*NOTE*
The pics below were taken today, 2 days after the Rejex. Just before taking the pics, I actually sprayed it down with high pressure water to get rid of dust/dirt/bird crap after a good amount of driving.

But get that lancer decal off please! JK keep it if you like it, but lancer seems to be clashing with your crisp package.

looks good, but.. if you clay bar, then you're bascially 1 step shy (gloss enhancer?) of zaino. But there's still the cost..

Nice, nice Ray!
Pics look pretty good....
FYI though if you do claybar, you'll have to start from scratch and Dawn the car again so you can get underneath the wax to remove all the dirt and debris/

We'll have to compare cars this summer!

Definitely E. We'll have to compare again once I get the whole claybar thing figured out. I actually bought some Clay Magic stuff to try out sometime soon.

And about the dish soap... Yes.. it helps take off old wax and it actually recommended by Zainoe and Rejex instructions. I had some car wash soap handy so I thought I'd mix it up.


The decals are from MachEvo and was given by my secret santa last X-Mas. And, no.. that's not my car on their website. As for the Lancer badge... I guess I left it on there to throw off the "ricers" into thinking it's just a hooked up ES. lol...
