has anyone used the stuff "nu finish" i see on tv all the time? its sold locally. if you have.. how was it? thank you

 

NuFinish was the pinnacle of 1980's technology. I used it back in the early 90's when it was #1 rated by Consumer Reports magazine.

It worked very well for the era, but produced incredible amounts of dust when buffed off. I remember vacuuming the outside of my car once to get the NuFinish dust out of my cowl vents.

A lot has changed in the past 15 years, and there are much better products around. I stopped using NuFinish when the original Meguiar's cleaner wax was introduced in the mid 90's and stole the CR #1 rating.

My current product of choice is Meguiar's NXT Tech wax.

 

i used to use it and still have some left- it has fallen apart (separated), but it sits with the old products that i used years ago.
it was great for its day, but there are so many products that i think do a better job now-
like sb2007, i stopped using mine in the early 90s- i went back to carnuba then... until finish first was introduced (synthetic). that was my intro to synthetics.
now my finish product of choice is zaino and i like to top it with p21s

 

I always thought that stuff was for paint that had been abused and needed restoring. I remember the ad on TV with a guy waxing the hood of some old car sitting in a bone yard.
