You could add Swissol waxes to that list as well. They top out around 2000.00...

Actually, I did mention Swissol. I haven't been on their website in a while though. I like this "SmartBucket" . . .

I first saw this at a flyfishing shop...they use it on the boat to keep all the flyline off the deck. Whoever invented it must be making a killing.

I don't believe Rejex has any carnauba wax in it.

I agree, Rejex is a synthetic sealant. I've seen it used on boats but not any cars.

I'm beginning the process of washing and removing existing carnuba later this week then will prep the car with Menzerna 106. I've just ordered the Blackfire kit so it should be here in by Friday. That should be about perfect for a coat of sealant Friday night and another Saturday morning. I'll then apply a coat of blended carnuba saturday night and the final coat Sunday morning.

Here's the progress so far....

1. Pre-wash shot


2. Post wash & wax removal


3. Pre-sealant shot


4. Pre-sealant shot 2


5. First coat of sealant


Saturday morning I'll apply the second coat of sealant then the first coat of wax 8 hours later.

Sunday morning I'll lay down the second coat of wax and then 8 hours later the final coat of wax.

Sunday update:

Second coat of wax now applied and I'm waiting for it to cure so I can put the final coat on this afternoon.

My initial impressions so far are good. Both sealant and wax go on easily with little effort. The sealant requires a few moments to haze over but nothing longer than 5-10 minutes. It leaves a very slick surface that's quite bright for a lack of a better way to describe it. It's very pleasing to the eye for sure and will compete easily with the other top shelf systems. The wax mixture goes on very nicely and spread to a very thin layer with little effort. It comes off wet with no drying required. You'll need two quality MF towels to do the entire car. The wax mixture feel like it's a bit heavier in oils than P21S or Souveran however it's comes off clean.

The finish so far seems to have excellent color, depth & clarity that seem to be inline with the rest of the high-end waxes or sealants.

Pics to follow later tonight...
