If your looking for something that repels water, use Aquapel. It last forever!
But RejeX is an awesome product. It keeps the water beading for many many months (I speak from experience with it on paint)

I washed the car thoroughly, then ran a clay bar over everything. MAN, there's alot of surface area on our Traverse! I let the car sit in the garage during dinner so the paint would be cool enough when I began applying RejeX.
Ambient temp was 80*F and the paint was cool to the touch when I started applying RejeX by hand at sunset.
So I started with RejeX on the roof (including both sunroofs), rear window, then the hood. It seems a 20 minute interval between application and wipe-down may be too much because RejeX was a little tough to remove (not impossible) once 20 minutes had elapsed. I think wipe-down should occur a few minutes after RejeX dries to a haze. I don't know if this will affect durability of RejeX or not.
I finished application on the rest of the painted surfaces, the headlamps, chrome trim around the grille, and tail lights, then let RejeX cure for 12 hours before driving it. I'll get the wheels and side windows this weekend.
We drove through light rain Saturday afternoon and RejeX repelled the water like nothing I've ever used on paint before. The car sat out all night Sunday night and was subjected to two hours of hard rain. I ran to the car wash yesterday and hosed the car off with a little soap and a rinse. Bug residue came off very easily as did the rest of the dirt that settled on the car after getting rained on.
So far I'm pleased with the results, but the real test for us will be over the winter to see how RejeX protects the clear coat from magnesium chloride (road de-icer) stains. I will re-apply RejeX at the beginning of October for added protection.

I've been hand-washing once a week since I put RejeX on the clearcoat. So far, bugs and other stuff comes off much easier. YMMV.
I'm wondering what is the buzz with sealant ? We all know the most durable sealant out there is Klasse.Period. No !?
If it's as durable but easier to apply than I understand the little buzz but if it's like powerlock or any showcar sealant.. well we already have like 10 sealants like this one already.

I've heard LOTS about RejeX before AG carried it. :xyxthumbs: I'm surprised AG didn't carry it sooner...

Rejex is very popular in the aviation side of life. I used it some years ago on my Piper. From what I recall, it is like chiseling off concrete if you leave it on too long. It did leave the plane slicker than owl turds. I havent used it on a car though. Maybe I will pick some up at the detail clinic at AG at the end of the month.
