Today paint technology has improved dramatically and so has the cost. Factory jobs were usually very thin so this was risky at best. You had to be very careful of not burning through. If there were any imperfections in the paint, most times it could be taken care of by carefully color sanding the surface and then using a high speed polisher buffing it out, acrylic enamels were a little more tricky to deal with. Back then most of the cars were either painted in acrylic laquar or acrylic enamel. It was an all day job and required a lot of rubbing but if done right nothing compared in shine or longevity. The Blue Coral back then was a two step process that ended with a hard wax applied over the polish. I can remember in the 60's the wax/polish of choice was Blue Coral. Interesting responses and I agree with most but still will have to wait for proof on the other claims. I'm not expecting any difference, its just going to be nice seeing it look good again and I know the Rejex will do the job. The color on the Suburban is called Caribbean Blue which is a pearl with a heavy flake and is absolutely brilliant in the sun. I will be doing a complete detail on my '05 Suburban Z71 this week and plan on using Rejex on it as well. The only thing yet to be determined is the longevity but I'm expecting it to live up to the claims of 6 months. Just how slick is it? Very slick, but then again a new car that had just been clayed and polished with a quality product should be the same. Before doing the whole car, I polished 1/2 of the hood and compared the sides with no difference at all. As for the shine, I was a little disappointed not because it didn't have a terrific shine but because it was no better then the Mirror Glaze Hi-Tech Yellow Wax I've been using for years. Compared to most other polishes I've used, no better no worse. I found the product to go on and off just as described. The bonnets were made by my wife using soft cotton terry cloth towels much better then anything you can buy. I waited about 30 minutes to remove it, again using my buffer. I applied the Rejex using my buffer but in tight areas I put it on by hand. The Rejex went on easy and buffed out as easy as described.

Once cut I gave it another close inspection no more spots. I decided to cut the car with Mirror Glaze #2 fine cut. Before I go any further I forgot to mention my car is Gold Mist so minor spotting is sometimes difficult to see. After claying I examined the car closely in the garage under fluorescent lights and noticed some minor water spotting. They didn't really need to be clayed but what the hell I had nothing better to do. I first washed the car and then clayed the hood, roof and trunk lid. The price was cheap and the application seemed to be easy enough that if I didn't like it I wouldn't be out of much more then time. I had bought a bottle of Rejex after hearing so many positive reviews from forum members.

Instead of sitting around the pool and drinking a beer on Labor Day, I decided to give the Caddy its first polish.
