Yup.

I love RejeX.
I use it on the daily drivers paint, and it holds up VERY well.
I also use it on the barrels of the T/A's wheels. Makes them VERY easy to clean up.

Just on the barrels.

Never tried it on the outside....as that section gets cleaned much more often.
I don't think it would dull the finish of the aluminum...but I haven't tried it.

Maybe next year on the ProStars to see....since those are the 'look good' wheels.
PM sent.

You won't be disappointed.


Apply, let sit for 20-25 minutes, wipe off. It wipes off really easy, and makes the surface pretty slick.

****?

My washing ritual consists of putting the car up on jack stands on all four corners, wheels off the car. I wash the car first, and the wheels separately somewhere else. Where does the **** part come in? I cover all four brake rotors with trash bags so no water gets in them. That way, no rust colored water gets flung out on the barrels once I start going down the road after it is all clean.

Those look really nice though. I've been meaning to try Rejex for quite some time now.

That's awesome....you make me look normal. Mine are chrome so I just keep a good coat of wax on the barrels. I can usually get my wheel wash mit in there, but I pull them off regularly.

Great game!!

I have a friend that harasses me....calls my car a garage queen. It gets roughly 3-4K miles a year. Several trips to the track in there.

The RejeX really helps keep the barrels clean. Makes life much easier when cleaning them.
Plus, I have two sets of wheels, so when one set is off, I clean the ones that are removed.

Just polished up the ProStars a week ago.
