Anyone ever heard of this Nu Wax? I guess you only have to wax your car once a year? Anyone have exp with this?

 

thats the only kind of wax i use on my cars it works really good long lastin although i wax mine about every 2 months it does a really good job it would prolly last a year but like my cars clean.

I've used it before. Depending on the needs of your paint and the weather you see (lots of rain or not) a yearly wax job may be all you need. Excessive waxing eats your paint and adds the swirls that you see in some paint jobs. Of course all that is taken car of with a polish annaully too.

 

Nu Finish is a polish. It's not a wax.

Only product in its category that contains no wax

 

I turtle waxed my mothers car last summer, the paint still beads water.

 

amen, which part of the label on the front of the product did you miss?

 

Excuse me king of thirdgen, i should of put the subject as "1 year polish" Please dont chop my head off.

 

Well not to be a jerk, i am just trying to provide information, but he is right, and if you use it as a wax, it will shine up your paint nicely, but it wont protect it at all, so the 1 year point is completely lost.

 

so, if someone was to use this stuff then they should wax afterwards?

 

That's what I would do. I use a different polish than this, but I follow up with a light coat of wax to protect the polish and the finish. Just put a light coat of wax on. Don't rub it in or it could remove the polish.

 

Although i agree in not rubbing wax in, i dont understand what you mean by it will take the polish off, because polish isnt a coating is it?? You use it and it is removed from the paint surface. Right?

 

Polish is not a protectant. It will fill in slight swirls and bring out the shine. Most waxes have minor abrasives in them which clean the paint surface. If the paint is oxidized, wax can bring back the shine by removing the oxidation. On a good paint, wax will protect, but it still is slightly abrasive. When applying over a polish, don't rub it in. Just apply a thin coat to protect the polish and seal it in. Rubbing it in will activate the abrasives and will remove the polish.

 

I understand your point, but isnt the point of polish to be the abrasive compound, or "cutter" and to be completely removed from the paint, thats what i have always believed.

 

Maybe what we're discussing are 2 different types of polish. I think your referring to the polishes that bring out the shine, i.e. polishing compounds, etc..

I'm referring to the polymer polish or sealant. Once the car has the shine from using the polishing compounds, I use a polymer sealant/polish as a top coat, then a light coat of wax to lock it all in. Glazes and polymer polishes feel great after they are applied, but after the first rain, they feel rough again.

If I'm not getting my point across, maybe Kandied needs to bail me out. I might be using the wrong terminology!

 

Yeah that cleared it up enough for me, i was just not aware of the polymer polishes you were referring to, just the compounds. We learn something new every day.

 

I never used to wax after using Nu-Finish. Water seemed to bead up just fine after application.

Poe-TAY-toe

Poe-TOT-toe

Let's call the whole thing off.

 

i am officially boycotting any Nu Finish wax because in their TV commercial, they show a black camaro in a junk yard being dropped by a crane, THEN they put the wax on it...its on tv, check it out

 

yeah i thought that was a camaro but wasnt sure

 

YES!!! somebody else saw it...damn those bastards for destroying a camaro, or the woman who let it go to waste and made it end up in a junkyard...

 

I hereby proclaim DAN the F body CRUSADER! DAMMED TO HECK, NuFinish!!!

What is your bidding Man_smlk?

 

lol...thanks

 

I just ordered the Zaino kit from Zaino products on line.
