My area of knowledge is NOT paint and detail, but I find it intriguing that on this thread, there are two BITOG posters that own detail shops, and they definitely have differences of opinion regarding Nufinish:

Plenty of good sealants don't these days so if true, that would be a good practical reason to try something else.
Yes it does and yes there are plenty of
quality products you don't have to worry about that with.
It will stain black trim if you are careless but it comes off easy with a detail brush and a detail spray. This XC70 was just treated with Nufinish and there is not a speck of white residue on the black parts/trim. Again Nufinish is a top quality product and that is not an opinion, it is fact. It shines well and protect and out lasts most if not all other sealants. All of these vehicles were done by me in my shop with NuFinish. Some of them were posted and asked what "wax" was on them and everyone guessed much "higher end" waxes. People got [censored] when I posted the bottle of Nufinish next to the vehicles LOL.
I use everything in my shop and know what works and doesn't. I used NuFinish on clients vehicles that want protection and longevity over shine. In nearly 24 years not a single customer complained about NuFinish. I just don't like to see a good product bashed that dosn't deserve it.
This guy doesn't:

Every car I seal or wax is prepped properly, I'm a professional full time detailer that has over $600 worth of different waxes, sealants, coatings and prep products. I've got bottles of nufinish that are 10 years old and ones that are 3 months old. I have my opinion and it's based on testing and performance. I for one, as with all pro detailers, judge vehicles based on what they look like under halogens, LED spotlights, or full sun. Pictures of cars parked in the shade or some reflection shot does nothing for me. [/quote]
