Nu Finish Car Polish, NF-76 Liquid Polish for Cars, Trucks, 16 Fl Oz Each

Here's a description of a side-by-side comparison between Nu Finish (NF) -- which gets 5 stars -- and TR3, which I would give 3.5 stars. In addition to TR3 and NF side-by-side, I also did a side-by-side test of TR3 *on top* of a coat of NF, and test of NF *on top* of a coat of TR3. My car is a medium deep turquoise 2006 commuter - not a show car. It gets detailed every few years and lots of car washes in-between. It's got some light scratches, scuffs and blemishes, but looks pretty new from a few feet away. I did my side by side comparison on the trunk lid. I washed it, and then used a clay-sponge to "clay" the surface smooth, using barely diluted dish soap for slickness. That works really good. Get one. On the left half of the trunk lid I used TR3. On the right, NF. Coming out of the bottle, TR3 is thicker, NF is thinner. APPLICATION -- TR3 goes on easier - it adheres to the paint right away (although, this make no difference in the final appearance.) NF takes a little more effort to 'coat' the surface and if you are applying it sparingly, you feel like you are wiping it off before it glazes over. So I used a little heavier hand and amount to apply NF. CLEANING -- TR3 cleans. NF doesn't. You can see it in your applicator pad. (I tried this on a really old weathered black mail box -- again, TR3 cleans.) But again, for final appearance -- TR3 does not have an advantage. DRYING and REMOVING -- They both dried in about the same time and get buffed off with about the same effort. No quibbles here. The reviews of NF consistently mention the white residue that remains in scratches, cracks and nicks, or on black plastic. Well, I managed to keep the stuff off of black plastic. For the residue in scratches, NF shows up a bit more than TR3, which also does the same - just not at much. APPEARANCE -- Side by side test -- On the first side-by-side comparison, NF wins hands down. (I didn't wait a day for NF to 'bake in' where many folks say it gets better.) On the right side of the trunk lid, NF was brighter, glassier / glossier, and more mirror-like. I would NOT say it's a wet look. TR3 was darker, and details in the reflections were less crisp and clear. Close up and from a distance, NF gets the award. APPEARANCE -- Second Side by side test -- Now I divided the left and right sides of the trunk in half horizontally, so I have four quarters. On one quarter I applied TR3 over NF and on the other quarter -- NF over TR3. Wait, dry, remove, buff... and.... I would have expected something like one quarter to really be amazing. In the end, there was ONE quarter that stood out clearly as the best (my favorite) ... which was the quarter with only NF. This was obviously looking the sharpest, brightest and best. For the two "overlay" quarters, not much happened. I suspect both second coats were not able to do much to change the appearance after the first coat of the other polish was already applied to the paint. But now, I had a trunk lid with 1/4 looking different that the other 3/4's. (This was obvious because I was looking at it, but it would not be obvious if someone was not looking for it. I asked a test subject to point out where the different polishes were applied, and she could spot the four quarters, but again, it would not be apparent if you are driving down the street.) In the end, I had to apply several more coats of NF to the other three quarters (all in the same afternoon) to get the trunk lid to look consistent. OTHER -- I recently resurfaced my headlights, but have had nothing to seal the plastic with. I tried both TR3 and NF on one light, and there is no apparent difference between the products (and clearly a big difference to the other headlight.) CONCLUSION -- Nu Finish wins. TR3 does work nicely, and frankly if you are not keen to noticing the difference, you might not notice. The finish of TR3 is a little duller and does not fill in the scuffs and swirls as nicely. TR3 seems to be a little darker and deeper and perhaps with a buffed out top wax, you'll get what you like. However for me, I'm not taking the time to go over my car again with a (short-lived) top wax. I'll give it another coat of Nu Finish in a month, like it suggests on the bottle. And for that, I should have what I need for another year.

I have been using this for many years, just once per year, and it does a great job of protecting the car's finish. Easy to apply and well worth the money and effort to do to protect the car

if you start with oxidation free and no clear coat and paint damage, and a clean no water spot body, then you get excellent results that last a pretty long time. They key to success is to have a perfectly clean no wax no coating body to work with. Follow the instructions.. This is not a classic wax. apply with a damp clean cloth, one section at a time. Minimal rubbing. Just move the rag around loosely so the polish is applied evenly with no "holidays". The let it dry to a haze. DO NOT APPLY HEAVILY AND DO NOT ALLOW TO DRY HARD. A light coat and then let it dry to a haze. It's best to do this in a garage and not in direct sunlight. Once that small section goes to a haze, then with another clean soft cloth, wipe this excess haze off. There is no need to buff to remove. I would not recommend using a buffing wheel or anything mechanized ...just manual with light elbow grease. I've used this for over 30 years on all kinds of cars and trucks and boats and trailers and equipment. It is good stuff and last a long time. It is a good bargain too. One bottle will be just enough to do a full sized truck. I would not recommend storing this in the garage or heat. I keep it is an air controlled part of the house, like laundry room. Like most polishes it will separate or harden over time in high and low temperatures.

I discovered Nu Finish in 2004 and have been using it on my cars ever since. The application process really is as simple and painless as they say, and the results are great. Now, if you don't know, polish is not the same thing as wax, but it's meant to solve the same problems. Wax is a natural substance and it's meant to protect the paint and finish of your car while adding a lustrous shine. Wax tends to have what people would call a "deep" shine, like you're looking into the color. Polish, on the other hand, is typically a synthetic compound, and it trades that deep lustrous shine for greatly increased performance. Wax tends to wear off fairly quickly and it doesn't do a great job of protecting your car from UVs and chemicals. Polish, on the other hand can last for an extraordinarily long time. Nu Finish claims one year and 52 washes, but I've always found that I need to apply every six months. It gives your car a more mirrored shine, so you don't really feel like you're looking inward at the paint, but it does look great, and it absolutely protects the car. Makes washing off the salt and schlep from winter a lot easier, too. Why only four stars, then? Well, if you have any black plastic on your car, say around your wipers, or your washer fluid nozzle, or your fender flares, or bumper, or... well... you get the picture. If you get Nu Finish on that stuff, it's going to turn it white-gray for a long time, so you have to use 3M painter's tape to cover that stuff up, or you're going to have a bad time. This is much less an issue on some cars than others, but it can be a bit of a pain. Either way, though, it's worth it, and it'll help keep your car's paint job in better shape for a long time to come.

I use this for polishing metal, brass mostly. Always works well.

トゥインゴGTに使用、半年に1回ほど丁寧にワックスかけています。色落ちも今のとこなく良好です。水弾きも良い方で、試してみる価値ある気がします。

Money wasted.
