I learned about RejeX at the Seattle Boat Show last winter, and figured I’d give it a try as a window coating. It’s made by the same folks who produce CorrosionX, another magical concoction I’ve been using around the boat.

You know, sometimes these amazingly unbelievable coatings actually work as advertised. That appears to be the case with RejeX.

Here’s what I did yesterday morning while tied up in Prevost Harbor. I rinsed all the saltwater off, washed the windows with Windex, and then applied the Rejex as directed, to the port-side cabin window only. The starboard window only received the cleaning.

Here’s what I was NOT able to do as directed: I didn’t let it cure for 12 hours. We went out and put it to use immediately. After a bumpy crossing with lots of saltwater spray on both windows, you can see the difference:

I’m impressed. I’m very interested to see how well it holds up, and I’d like to compare a PROPERLY CURED coating with an uncoated window. Unfortunately, I won’t have an uncoated front-facing window with which to compare, because as soon as the weather clears up, I’m going to coat the starboard window!

Here are some detail pictures I took after running the wipers. You can see that a portion of the window in each image is a bit clearer where the wiper blade squeegeed the water away.

And yes, it’s raining here in Anacortes, WA. Welcome to summertime in the Pacific Northwest’s cruising paradise!
