![]() ![]() The result is a material more like polish than a traditional oil-based anti-corrosion compound, such as CorrosionX, Boeshield T-9 or ACF-50, all of which are fogged for application. Reasoning that a surface protectant could also find a civil market, VanGilder funded a study and directed his lab researchers to explore a treatment that could enhance the protection offered by paint. When maintenance officers from the Air Force and Army approached Corrosion Technologies’ Jim VanGilder with this problem, he was familiar with their needs, since many units use CorrosionX for corrosion protection of airframes and equipment. While we fly around in shiny Bonanzas, the military uses flat or matt camo paint which makes it all the more difficult to remove bugs, surface contaminants and exhaust stains. For the military, exhaust stains on airframes are more than just a nuisance, but also a primary source of airframe corrosion and the stain disrupts the effectiveness of camouflage paint schemes. On the other hand, RejeX seems to work, both in our trials on airplanes and, more significantly, in the demanding world of military aircraft and vehicles where picky gunnery sergeants expect turbine exhaust tracks to pass white glove inspections.Īctually, RejeX owes its creation to military specs. If these claims sound like Billy Mays flogging Kaboom on cable channel 96, we’ll admit there’s a resemblance. According to Corrosion Technologies, RejeX is an “advanced polymer treatment” that’s neither a wax nor a polish but a sealant that protects underlying surfaces. RejeX is a surface treatment developed by Corrosion Technologies Corp., the same company responsible for the CorrosionX anti-corrosion system that we’ve recommended in previous reports. We recently field tested a relatively new product called RejeX that claims to protect finishes of all kinds from bug, exhaust and oil damage.Īnd while it doesn’t quite cause these insults to the finish to slough off without a trace, it makes stains easier to remove and leaves a much smoother, impervious surface. Regular waxing seems to help with both but who has time to wax an airplane five or six times a year? You’d think someone would come up with some chemical goo that would cause bugs and exhaust to slough off. These tarnish even a factory-fresh paint job in mere hours and they cause just as much damage to the paint, albeit in more limited areas. ![]() If contact occurs, remove immediately using a damp microfiber towel.Sunlight and moisture spell slow doom for aircraft paint but what really gets most owners’ attention is bug splats and exhaust stains. Avoid contact with plastic, vinyl and rubber due to staining. Easy to apply by hand or by using a dual action polisher equipped with a soft finishing foam pad. Using a clean, dry high quality microfiber towel, buff until all residue to reveal that sought after show car shine.Īdditional layers can be applied after 6 hours. Sonus Paint Protection must be spread thin and allowed at least 15 minutes to dry, enabling proper bonding to occur. Apply two dime size amounts to a clean dry foam applicator and rub thoroughly onto the surface. Make sure surface is cool, dry and clean. This easy to use formula offers a deep, wet-looking, high-gloss shine, plus months of serious protection! For neglected or oxidized surfaces, first use the appropriate Sonus SFX Polish depending on the severity of the paint damage.ĭirections: Shake well before using. Sonus SFX-4 Paint Sealant boosted by Polycharger TM gives you longevity in protection against the harsh environmental elements. ![]()
