Also, no one in this thread said NF is easy to work with, doesn't dust and doesn't stain plastic trim, but it was mentioned that if one is careful with the application and doesn't apply too much of the product, NF is not that bad to work with. But there is a learning curve to it.

Again, start reading the replies instead of skimming them.

Hello pot...meet kettle. Did you even read the thread posts? By the way...it's spelled Hyundai.

Many of the OTHER cars referenced with photos were stated to have been detailed with products other than NuFinish by ANOTHER poster.

This has been a wonderful circle of 140 posts that we've all run around in together. Everyone seems to have made their case for it being either a lousy product or one they endorse (repeatedly).

In hindsight...the time spent by us all discussing a $7 product sold at Walmart as a serious solution to put on a $30K-$60K vehicle for quality protection has far exceeded the contrasting points themselves - on either side.

For those choosing to knowingly use NuFinish...all power (and a few prayers) with you.
 
So you don't even read your own replies as far as the content goes, but you seem to be good at spotting spelling mistakes. Good for you man. If we ever have a spelling bee contest, were call on your expertise.

There comes a time when it’s best to just walk away. Hyundai, you’ve made your point. You don’t like the product. Fine. That could have been said in one comment.
 
HYUNDAIFAN0001:

Time to put up or shut up. Do some work this weekend and post some photos on Monday.

So far it's all talk from you... And it's worthless.

Thanks. Actually...I am doing 2 full 5-step detail jobs this weekend...the right way...and certainly not using NF.

Uh huh...I see that everyone here abides by that same criteria.

You're wasting your time. There's nothing that can be done to change the minds of those who like NF. They are brainwashed. I've had plenty of go-arounds with Chris B. and he seems to believe three things; 1) No one else could possibly have the amount of experience he has with automotive detailing, and 2) If a person doesn't like NF, they simply don't know what they're talking about, and 3) Posting pictures is proof of something. I'm done arguing with these people. If they want to use the NF garbage on their vehicles, so be it. That junk will never touch any of mine...

Hi Grampi,
Hey I just wanted to bury the hatchet with the old NuFinish arguments. I'm sure if we met out on the street we would get along wonderfully and B S about cars and what not! We don't agree on NF and that is fine, we don't need to beat each other up over it. I'm sure we agree on tons of other stuff! I also come from a military family and have great respect for anyone who serves so thanks for your service! Anyway, we can be much more productive and civil rather then beating a dead horse LOL. As I get older I think these back and forth internet arguments are more and more silly. Life is to short. Talk soon and be well! Chris

So in the end...all that recent new noise introduced into a thread about NuFinish and raving about the greatness of NuFinish included a myriad of photos for cars detailed with mostly everything except NuFinish.

While being on the other side of the NuFinish coin, I respect the fact that you adhere to not having misrepresentation done about that product.

That said...what was carefully omitted by several posters was the well-known fact about the difficulty of working with the NuFinish product, as well as it's excess dustiness and residue on dark trim - neither of which is a myth. Those were the key points originally made (but disputed). Despite hundreds of testimonies online...any real debate was not about IF it protects, rather, the claim that NuFinish is problem free and viably protects for the advertised 1 year time period, which countless other professional detailers (in threads online) and other product manufacturers will (and do) challenge.

For many of the cars shown that were photo-worthy...not surprisingly...products other than NuFinish were used....which makes perfect sense.

Thanks for sharing the photos. Your series of photos shows work completed by a quality detailer.



Thanks for the kind words. There are a lot of good detailers on the forum. The guys in the past(that are still on here) have NEVER posted a single picture of their work EVER. No shots of vehicles done with NF or any other product for that matter. They were asked and even begged to show anything at all to back up their claims and not one single time did they produce. Always had some bull S excuse. But the next day they were bashing NF(and other products). Just gets old.....so I hit a point(as I have in the past) and just start letting people have it LOL.

NF is not that hard to use(I have used much harder products). With the right technique, black trim is a non issue. Yes the dust gets EVERY WHERE! Compressed air takes care of that quickly or a duster. Put it on very thin and it polishes off with ease, almost no elbow grease!

I totally get why some folks dont like NF and prefer other products. Some people want the deepest shine possible and you dont get that with NF. Some want other "waxes" for many different reasons. I just get annoyed when people bash a product that has a proven track record. Yes some time s*** happens and a product fails for what ever reason. I have had to do a few vehicles over because of that. But I have changed more customers minds with NF by having them try it. Most are extremely happy with how long it lasts and ask for it again. much more often then not.

Gramps,
With all due respect is is quit the opposite. I have explained and shown the other products I have used. I'm not brain washed and use just about everything out there. I have admitted that NuFinish is not the best for many people and situations. You simply will not admit that it does in fact hold its own with top tier products especially how long it will last for. Soooo many on here have shown it does but you are like "nope, is does not" LOL.

You are the most stubborn person that will not look at facts. To this day you have NEVER posted a picture of your work and I and others have asked you to do so many many times. I know you are just a hater and full of [censored]. At least I admit when I'm wrong and have no problem standing correct when shown I'm wrong. When I'm right(like I am on this topic) I will not back down. I almost never come in here any more but every single time I do, I see you bashing NF. I'm not even around most times and you are still bashing it all over the forum. You are the one obsessed with trashing NF. So yeah I call you on it. Especially to the new people you mislead. Be honest and just look at yourself. It is comical the hatred you have for the product!

Like I said before I respect you and your service and no hard feelings but you really need to stop going out of your way spreading bad information about NF. When I see you posting misinformation I'm going to call you on it. It has been PROVEN to be a sold product.

Like I said a few years ago I hope you are well and things are going good for you and your family!

Still no hard feelings. At least I can admit when I'm wrong and stand corrected. I know others can not but it is what it is.

Why do you consider the information I post about NF bad? I have used it and I am just posting my opinion of it. Just because my opinion of it differs from yours doesn't mean I'm spreading bad information. If I was the only person in here who's had poor results using it, then I would think maybe I didn't use it correctly, but there are a lot of other people who also don't like it. And again, posting pictures of vehicles after you've used a product PROVES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Why are you so hung up on this picture thing? Most people's complaints aren't about how it looks, so I'm still not getting your hang up over pictures. I am also not the one who refuses to look at facts. Fact is, there are A LOT of people who don't like NF, and almost NO professional detailers use it. That is an undisputable fact...
 
I have never used Nu Finish. I consider it one of the old style products like the original Turtle wax etc. But, the application is key like everything else. I used Simoniz paste wax in another era and I was one of the millions who left it on too long and it was a bear to remove.

Over time I’ve gravitated over to the spray sealants. No more sweat trying to remove product.

A huge majority find it lasts a long time. You state it does not and that is fine. My problem is that you are the 1st to run in and tell anyone asking that is absolutely does not last at all and make blanket statements. If you said "I found it to not work well but others find it to work well" and let them decide, I would not even bat an eye. They way you jump into these threads bashing NF as if what you speak is gospel is VERY misleading! Misleading people is what I have a problem with. Picture DO prove a lot. When we started this little argument I posted pictures of the same vehicle 1 year apart and it still showed good water beading/sheeting. You said "impossible" and off we went. I simply asked you to post pictures showing your results or do a test and show the results after it was over. You refuse too. That is fine but it shows you have zero to back up your claims. I, at least backed up and documented my side of the argument.

Like I said no hard feelings and I'm sure we would agree on more then we disagree! I would just ask that you consider others findings before posting "blanket" statements which contradict what most people find. If you keep it up. I'll be right there as well LOL.

Agreed on all points! What spray sealants do you prefer and what kind of life are you getting out of them?

I’ve been using the Sonax Brilliant Shine Detailer which acts like a sealant. I like the gloss it puts on my silver vehicle. I ordered a bottle of the new Sonax Spray and Seal and am waiting for that. It has some excellent reviews and feedback so far on Autogeek.

I also have some Gyeon Preserve for the black trim and their LeatherCoat. Both are easy to apply and last quite a while. A bit more expensive than most though. I really like these SIO2 products.

Detailers will use whatever the customer requests. A lot of times customers will request products that detailers don’t normally use. New finish is well known and a lot of people recognize the name and ask for it. I have had first time customers that have requested it before I had a chance to ask what they want.
