I can always tell when riding with someone whether they pay for or do there own brake work.

I'm as easy on the brakes as I can, within reason or emergency situations. Besides the excessive brake dust, there's a big bill coming once there components are unnessarly .worn out.
PO just had rotors, calipers and pads replaced before I purchased. $1800.

I got some of the REJEX. Goes on & off easy. Remains to be seen how much it helps. I got the detail kit, plus one extra bottle of REJEX. It's done slippery stuff. After it cures I'll use some REJEX Finish over it that came in the kit bit does give it a wet look

The initial super-slick surface from REJEX quickly disappears.

Sorry to hear that. If so I may have wasted $100. I did also get the car wash, cleaner and finish goop. Maybe if I use the finish product over the REJEX it will last longer. I'll use it on one of the front wheels and compare.
Has anyone here ever tried the nano ceramic wax? Suppose to be a one year treatment.

I've used a nano ceramic coating (not wax) on my wheels. The below product is good for 3-months IIRC. Haven't reapplied it, so there is brake dust buildup, but it comes off with just a dry wipedown, which I do weekly. Sorry for the upside down pic...damn iPad.

I have Opti-Coat Pro Plus on my entire car including wheels. In addition to the ceramic coating's high gloss and paint protection, it sheds dirt and most importantly, keeps the brake dust down on the wheels. They washe off easily or I wipe them down with a California Duster. Like the paint, the Opti-Coat application on the wheels will last many years without wearing off.

So far so good with the REJEX. I was hoping that it would at least spray off easier. So far after 300 miles, doesn't even appear to be sticking much at all. I'll do a closer inspection this weekend, but front rims still look good. And I'm very picky about brake dust on wheels

Interesting ! Someone commented that it came off quickly. I'll give it a honest evaluation and so far it's doing what it claims. It's still too early to know the durability though. I used it on painted surfaces as well. Came through a rain storm and car still looks pretty good. I'll be Able to tell this weekend how well it's working
