Rejex help

How long do you leave it on a black car for before buffing off?

Until it is dry and hazy. Then make sure you have some place to let the car sit for overnight that is below 85 degrees and out of the sun.

Usually I would say 10-20 minutes, but I am sure SANDOVAL will have a better answer...

he means sit overnight in the garage after it has been buffed...

Leave overnight in a dry place at a moderate temp....


No I think he is reffering to the curing process after you buff. I usually let it setup a good 20-30 minutes before buffing. The actual work takes me about 15-20 minutes to do a 996.

Yes, I mean after you have buffed off the material, let it set overnight. once again, temperature below 85 and out of the direct sunlight are the best conditions for the curing.

Just as a note Darren, the pre-Rejex prep is equally important. Especially for a dark paint, a non-wax polish such as a swirl-remover will go a long way to make the surface even smoother for a good deep reflection.

I would imagine that the paint on this car is in good enough shape that you could skip claying, and cleaning the paint.

Last week I polished the car with klasse all in one then went over it with the klasse sealant - I washed the car today and it was a little rough on the rear bumper, behind the front wheels and under the Turbo scoops - clay took care of that -

PS - Eric the rejex towels were incredible

I usually Rejex the ENTIRE Car, let sit for about 1hr, wipe off and then let the car sit overnight.

Not bad results...
