RejeX update

[Dan Luke[_2_]]

The rep's at the RejeX booth said it is not necessary to wait the full 20
minutes to wipe it off as the directions state. Soon as it dries to a haze,
wipe it off. Waiting longer makes it harder. They also said it may not work
if applied over waxes or other coatings like Pledge.

They also said that friction (as in wiping off bugs) is the main thing that
will shorten the duration of the coating, so leading edges and windshields my
need more frequent applications. So far, my original application is holding
up. I really like this stuff.

Dan,
Thank you for the RejeX pirep. I got this stuff last year but did
not use it after reading that we should not have waxed or applied
anything to a new paint in the first year.

We finally found the time to give the plane a real wash this year
and had applied RejeX to the leading edges for bug prevention. We were
thinking of either waxing or applying RejeX to the rest of the plane
but deciced against it after reading that polyurethane paint does not
need waxing.

Will see whether it will be easier to clean off dead bugs with
RejeX. Previously, we just used soapy water to spray the leading
edges, waited few minutes before scrubbing.

The stuff's good but it's not magic.

I've found that bugs wipe off easily with a wet rag if I do it as soon as I
land. If I wait a few days, it takes a little more elbow grease to get the
critters off. Still easier than with the Lemon Pledge I used to use, though.
