I was just on the rejeX website. It stated that stickers, decals, etc will NOT adhere to the bike’s surface as it is just too slick after you apply RejeX.
So I guess that means any clingy-wrap stuff or neato decals would be a waste of money as they won’t stick and its hard to get the rejeX off. was thinking of putting the clear decals or wrap stuff on the bike to protect from scratches... so guess I had better not use the RejeX.

Is there a way to temporarily remove the Rejex coating on the helmet before applying the decal without risk of damaging the helmet surface?
Unfortunately, the same physical characteristics that make RejeX basically impervious to common contaminants such as bug splats, the uric acid in bird droppings, tree sap, brake dust, etc., also make it basically impervious to any common cleaner that you’d want to use on your vehicle. The rule of thumb is this: If the chemical is strong enough to remove RejeX, it will also strip your paint. So don’t go there.
Fortunately, even though RejeX is super-tough, the coating is also very thin. So it can be removed physically with any abrasive. So for example, repainting a RejeXed car, boat or airplane is never an issue because the painter will rough up the area (usually with a light sanding of fine grit sandpaper or a compound) so that they paint will adhere better, which also instantly removes the RejeX film. In your particular case, since you’re stripping RejeX from a helmet, I would look for the finest “polish” type of product you can find. Generally, that category of product are called things like “hand glaze” or “finishing polish”. Just go over it lightly with that, and it will strip the RejeX.
I was wondering possibly denatured alcohol or mineral spirits??
Nope. Not a chance. RejeX, when properly cured is rated for 50+ detergent wash cycles. So it’s just not practical to remove the product chemically. Fortunately the mechanical means mentioned above it quick and easy in most situations.
