Still have a few bottles of NuFinish on the garage shelf. Haven't used them in years. Been using Adams Ceramic and Collinite 345. Might use the NuFinish for a quick wax job one day. After 2 lumbar fusions, detailing cars are not easy anymore -(....

Since you noted it may not last a year, how long does it tend to last? I may use this on my daughter’s Passat since I would only want to wash/wax it every so often

I just do it every six months or so (usually at least once in November, to get me through the no-wash months). In between I'll occasionally use Turtlewax Ice Spray Wax.

They are likely expired and the chemicals have broken down. That said, I think a lot of us have at least one bottle of Nu Finish in the garage or shed somewhere.

My 2000 Ford Focus day tripper, grocery getter, today after a quick Nu-Finish polishing. Mr Clean Magic Eraser is great for getting the Nu Finish ‘ oopsies ‘ stains off of plastic trim.

That thing still looks great. Normally in garage? Good idea re: magic eraser.

NuFinish is a cleaner wax offering good protection . If you haven’t kept up with the exterior it is a decent product for the price. The NuFinidh paste wax is the better version versus the liquid.

I still use NuFinish as a base polish and wax over it to this day when cleaning a car my first time

Yes NuFinish is not the same. I’ve used it off and on since it came into existence. Used it on my boat(s) 30 years ago because it had a stout cleaner in it and back then was a true one step cleaner polish. I can say for certain it is no longer as robust and now even harder to remove than 30 years ago. I’m old and have experienced this change with NuFinish.

Griot’s 3-in-1 is excellent. Such a great product, and easy to apply.

I also like using Griot’s glass sealant on my windshield for water beading. In my younger days I used to use Rain-X, but hated the haze it always left and how my wipers would stick and skip sections on the windshield.

Once I tried out Griot’s glass sealant, I ditched Rain-X and never looked back. It lasts forever and leaves glass crystal clear.

Griotts has greatly expanded its auto products line including more options for auto paint . Not being familiar with them I stay with Griotts 3:1 Ceramic Sptay for everything except the front windshield .

I like it for old beater cars with bad paint. Maximum visual improvement on a budget.
