My car after using Nu Finish

You got that right, but for some of us, we would rather spend the money on a wax/sealant/nano-coating that makes our car look great and is durable. Not everyone is a fan of Nu Finish, myself included.

If you prefer the look of sealants go with Duragloss. It will last even longer than Collinite and, unlike NuFinish, it doesn't stain trim.


Zaino will outlast NuFinish too...


Not a chance....

After several months sitting outside. The Impala(not the Volvo) sat for 9 months and water still beaded like it was just applied. Nothing lasts as long as NuFinish. Dura Gloss is close.
Several years ago I posted several of these pictures and asked folks to guess what wax/polish was used. Many members guessed all the high end waxes. When I posted the bottom picture of the NuFinish some guys heads blew up and were [censored]. Haters gonna' hate but NuFinish it a great product...amoung the very best!

You can find both Collinite and Duragloss for about $12-$15. Again, Nu-Finish is a fine product that lasts a long time and gives a good shine. What I don't like is that, unlike most products nowadays, it stains trim. And because it is made to give good protection, it is quite difficult to remove from said trim.

I can tell how much you like NuFinish, but you're wrong about it being the longet lasting wax. I've used it before and it lasts several months at best. I have yet to use anything that was still beading water after a year, except for Zaino, however I have also used Duragloss and Klasse products that have outlasted NuFinish as well.

 

[Chris B.]

Maybe it's hit or miss or Zaino changed a bit. I have found Zaino to shine better then anything I have tried but water beading only lasted for a few months sitting outside. NuFinish was 9 months outside but the cars was sold before the water stopped beading but at 9 months it was still beading like new. Duragloss is curently doing fine at just under 6 months. It is good stuff.

It's quite possible Zaino has changed their forumula and it doesn't last as long now days. It was probably 5 or 6 years ago that I had it lasting a year on my vehicle. I can't imagine them changing the formula though so that it doesn't last as long. That doesn't really make sense. I will say I've never gotten anywhere close to 9 months from NuFinish. 3 or 4 tops...

I've used NuFinish for years on a Boston Whaler. It lasts all summer and has kept the boat looking like new for 12 years.

I get the residue off of black trim by wiping it with a rag sprayed with WD-40.

I haven't used Nu Finish since the early 90's, but after reading this thread, I decided to buy a bottle. I keep my vehicles in very clean condition and they rarely need a thorough paint cleaning. I've been using Mothers cleaner/wax in the spring time and then I protect the car for winter with Prestone synthetic carnauba. But, I'll give Nu Finish another try. If only they could make it smell better... yech.

REJEX! Great product at a great price. Extremely durable. Long lasting.
BTW, I still love Nu-Finish as well.
I have a shelf full of all brands....Meguiars, Turtle Wax, Mothers, Griots Garage, 3M, and I always use the Rejex. If I had some Nu-finish, I'd use that as well. A nice coat of carnauba wax over Nu-Finish or Rejex is good to, but doesn't last long. The heat down hear evaporates the Carnaube in a week or two.

I asked this question once before, but nobody ever answered it. Is it okay to use a spray wax when nufinish is applied? Does it cut back the nufinish protection by doing this?

 

[lexus114]

Wow, I guess nobody else know`s either.

 

[660mag]

I don't know about a wax product, but have you tried Cling?
I use the Nufinish paste once a year in the fall, and Cling in between. I cant imagine a spray on wax without abrasives effecting it if washing it doesn't.

I now do this to most of my cars and it works well. I was using Eagle One spray way but I switched to NuFinish Cling when it hit the market a couple years back. Cling by itself lasts a very long time. Over 3 months and my paint still beads water. One car had a coat of Nufinish put on it and then 3 or 4 months later a touch up with the Cling and over a year(13 months) after the coat of Nufinish was applied the water is still beading like fresh wax. The stuff is incredible.

 

[lexus114]

I`ll have to try that,Thanks.

 

[OVERKILL]

I just picked up some of this and am about to try it on the M5. Have used Mother Cleaner wax on it twice thus far. Figured I'd switch it up for fun

 

[OVERKILL]

I'm really quite impressed with this stuff.

BTW, it didn't stain any plastic on the M? It just wiped right off.....?

We'll see how well it lasts!

If you have a clear bra, NuFinish will probably destroy it over time due to the petroleum content.

I am quite happy with my DP Poli-Coat sealant.

Been using NuFinish on my clear bras for years with no problems. The Bras look 100% new after 9 years.

I have been using Rejext (sp????) for a while now. Really like that stuff.
