Rejex has to be applied to a clean, wax-free finish. That's where you had the failure with Rejex. Same with Zaino and most other poly sealants. If the finish is not completly free from wax or oils (most polishes use oils as an agent to suspend the abrasives) oils can be naptha, natural oils, or synthetic depending on polish. Also, glaze uses fillers (clay mostly) to hide minor marring. For any sealant to attach and cure, the finish MUST be free of these things, then it will last a good long time.

There are quite a few Japanese sealants using high amounts of "glass fiber" technology which is not new, but not something most pro's would use. You can see some at Egalewax.com and Soft99 for Japan as well.

Ron,

Can't wait to see the pics!!

Hopefully on Sunday. I've got a couple guys who volunteered to bring their cool cameras and take some good pics.

I've got my work cut out for me. I took the car to the track today (see below) and it rained. The car is now closer to dusty gray than midnight blue and the wheels are just a mess. I had black rubber clag stuck all over the wheels and I don't even want to know what my wheel wells look like (they were pristine before today).

Glare has Glassplexin in it- does Rejex? I'm not sure wether I did a 50/50 wipedown before application so that might have been an issue. Regardless Zaino looks better.

The cars have looked great. I followed the guidelines given in the last procedure noted and I really enjoyed the result. I have not yet purchased an orbital so my paint prep work isn't what I'd like it to be yet but the Zaino prep was much improved to my previous results. The car has never been so smooth or have the same wetness to the paint. I appreciate all the help noted in this thread.
