My tips for keeping rear end & exhaust tips clean.

I have an Arctic White Z51, and as you guys have already discovered, keeping the rear end of the car and exhaust tips clean is a huge pain in the a$$. One drive and you have black exhaust crap on your tail pipes and black dirt / debris stuck on the rear end.

Here is what I do:

Clean and polish the entire back end, including exhaust tips. I used Dawn liquid soap first, then clay barred, then polished with Adams Fine Machine polish and my orbital DA. You can polish by hand if you would like.

Once everything is nice and cleaned / polished, apply very generous coatings of Rejex on the rear end and exhaust tips. Let it dry to a haze and buff off with a microfiber.

Put a second coat of Rejex on, let haze, and buff off again.

You will now notice the rear end and exhaust tips will have 50%+ less debris and gunk that 'sticks' to the car. When cleaning off, I just moisten a microfiber with Adams Detail Spray, spray some on the car, and wipe off. It glides right off because the crap sticks to Rejex vs. the paint. And Rejex works awesome because the gunk does not like to 'stick' to it, but loves to stick to the paint.

This keeps the car looking clean a lot more as it normally gets dirty right when it hits the road so it never truly looks as clean as can be when driving. At least on my Arctic White!

Feel free to do the whole car this way. Rejex lasts longer than wax and repels dirt and debris than any other wax on the market. It can last 8-12 months too. For maintenance, just wash using wax-friendly soap.. i use a pressure washer and foam lance + Honeydew snow foam in a foam lance, and dry with a leaf blower + adams detail spray & microfibers.
