I'm a retired firefighter and we've been using NuFinish for over 40 years. Red fire trucks & ambulances look new when we trade them in. We did each truck 2 or 3 times a year. Thin coat hand rubbed in then hand buffed when dry. Used on my personal vehicles as well. Great stuff.
Did you clay first or applied NUFinish?
@@IVAN2233 yes
@@dep7up YES What ??? Did you read the question ????
@@dep7up lmao
@@paulgaloupe1745 sometimes
Did my car start to finish in like 30 minutes with this stuff, looked great. Still looking great 4 months later.
Finally! Someone not so wrapped up in selling a product that he won’t tell the truth! There are too many product snobs who would never admit this product works well. I personally don’t use it for fear of staining my plastic and rubber but I do know it works well. Thanks for your bravery and honesty
The plastic and rubber can be taped before you apply NuFinish.
Didn't know making your trims and finish was impossible.
@Truth Spoken My experience is it leaves a white residue on plastic and rubber that is very hard to remove
i just put degreaser on a rag and rubbed it onto the plastic or rubber and it removes it ,, also it removes any spots of nu finish left behind
I've been using Nu Finish since 1987. This is truly a once a year sealant. It also works well at removing and/or hiding scratches in paint. If you have scratches on your guage cluster clear bezels. Rub some Nu Finish on bezel and Wala scratches gone!
An honest assessment, just like when Consumer Reports gave it a high rating. Meguiar's Cleaner Wax also rated high and they don't stain.
I saw a long-term durability test on an automobile hood that had been sectioned off into 18 spaces, with 18 different waxes and coatings tested outside after about 50 washings. Except for some of the expensive 9H nano-ceramic coatings, this stuff, surprisingly, did about the best for long-term water beading ability.
What did the best?
@@keepitthoro6768 I'm sorry but it's been so long ago that I can't remember, plus the fact that I'm 71 years old and can't remember details as well as I used to. I'm guessing that maybe that might have been done by Brian at Apex Detailing. I think that Chicago Auto Pros did a comprehensive test on a whole bunch of coatings over the span of a year about a year ago.
I remember that too. NuFinish did well on long term water beading. This was around 2017.
I used nu finish 0n my newly acquired 2013 chevy truck. First I washed, then I clay bar, wash again. Then I used the. Nu finish
As instructed. Looked good, but I waited for two weeks as the bottle said. Applyed a second coat.The white truck looked looked great, water could not stay on the truck, dirt and mud washed off with a water hose. It is now nearly 10 years and it still looks good. I can tell the polish needs to be re done. Yes ten years great stuff!!!!
Odd thing is if it was $70 a bottle, people would drool over it, that its so inexpensive, should be a good thing, but for some people its not. LOL
I used it for a few years. It might protect, but it looks and feels dry after a while, like it could use a wax. I like using Meguire's Gold Class a couple times a year.
FACTS
@@Greg042869 good thing Turtle Wax made a spray ceramic spray, seal n shine is $8 you can apply it on top of nufinish and it also protects it for longer
@@jorgenvonstrangle000 Good thing you can skip nu finish totally and just use the spray coating...
Finally someone who knows what they're talking about reviewing this product. They're really vague about what it is
@Ultra CNC Dude shut your ass up.
My dad had a bottle back in the early 90's that he used to wax his brown 1983 Chevy Malibu. I swear I could smell it when you opened the bottle Scott.
J Riley Hella strong smell!!
So basically, for the daily driver that one wants to protect the paint as long as possible, doesn't want to spend a fortune on detailing and doesn't have the time to baby the car, Nu Finish is an excellent choice.
@silverbird58 Are you a scale modeler?
Lasts a long time, far longer then most.
I would still recommend using a clay bar first to remove contaminants because, if you don't, you'll just be scratching up the clear coat as you apply the polish. Clay bar is easy. You just wash your car and then fill a bucket with soapy water and run the clay bar over the clear coat with the soapy water as a lubricant. When the clay bar starts to get dirty, you just fold the dirty part into the bar and use the exposed clean part of the bar to continue. Dry the car and then apply the polish as is shown here unless you can access a D/A machine. If you can, you then cut the clear coat with a compound and then a polish and then the Nu Finish or wax. I know it sounds like a lot of work but, it can be done in a day and the look will last a lot longer than a year.
Would it be hard to get off if you accidentally get it on plastic or rubber trim? Like my plastic black fender flares for example?
Correct. Nu Finish is a one-step product: it will clean, polish and protect with one application.
I'm hearing Alan Alda.
What the heck? That's scary. He sounds just like him. He could do radio commercials
Alex Mitchell Holy smokes !!! He sounds exactly like him bro !!! Hated MASH though 🙄😂😂😂
Look up David Browning. He's a Barney Fife imitator. Funny stuff.
I hear a combination of Ray Ramano and Howard Stern.
im not
Consumer reports rates it very highly. I made the mistake of laying it on thick, and it was evil to take off.
Lasts semmingly forever, and great for winter paint protection.
I started using it about 30 years ago based on Consumer Reports' recommendation. I now used Zaino Bros exclusively and will never use Nu Finish again. Way too much work and there's no way it lasts even two months let alone a year.
I believe that the paste is the one to get not the liquid.
Make sure to keep it on metal only. If it gets on anything plastic its rough to remove it.
@@randallfield6492 I'm new to car detailing, thinking it would be simple. It's starting to feel like chess openings. Nu Finish! No, Zaino Bros! NO, Klasse twins, Menzerna Micro polish! I'm sticking with Carnuba! Paste! No, Liquid! AAAAArrrrrgh!
I've been Detailing for over 30 years and come across some good low end products that work extremely well.
This is one that works as advertised
I use it on my windows and it works wonders with repelling water and ice
How long does it usually last on your windshield?
@@kylefergusson5789 depends on where you live in the northeast I use this maybe every 6 months.
Thanks for the tip
I don’t use my wipers
Jeff Sol why would it make your wipers skip?
I've used this for almost 30 years. On mustangs, Corvettes, Porsche, to a Chevy pick up. Never used anything else.
Sir John Doe of PennsWoods> Sir John, where can I buy Nu Finish? Thanks from Nelson of Seattle, Wa.
Try Walmart
How long do you get out of it time wise? I am looking for a sealent that will last at least 3 months?
@@nelsonladrido4961 harbor freight has it as well
@@Emily1963eh seems like the consensus is regardless of marketing/advertising, once a season is standard, and this stuff can easily handle 3 months.
If you have faded red paint, this stuff is fantastic. I had people asking if I got my car painted. I had tried a bunch of other products before hand. Nu Finish seems like a very good product to me. I have had great results using it on all my cars.

It looks like a bottle of sun tan lotion or something of that sort.
@@@theroyalcrownedtiger2946, if not wiped off correctly, this product leaves streak lines. I know from experience of using this product.
@@MrTG44 : I currently use this product, and knew that but, thanks for the heads up.

I am a scientist and LOVE it when you talk chemistry. You try to not show your face but the reflection off the panel gave you away.
I've using this product on my cars and boats for a really long time and I totally agree that it's an excellent product! Easy to apply and very long lasting! I run a charter boat service in Maine and put about 5,000 miles a summer on my boat during a 5 month season and this product still protects at the end of the season. Another use is on car windshields. I recently watch a UA-cam video by Scotty Kilmer in which he said that NuFinish applied to the windshield keeps wiper blades from dragging and making noise. I tried it the next day and SOB it works! My relatively new wiper blades had been driving me nuts and two weeks after applying NuFinish to the windshield I can still run the wipers on a dry windshield with no noise at all!
You shouldn't run wipers on a dry windshield!
@@milfordcivic6755 Obviously! But with Nu Finish applied to the glass it's possible to do so briefly to demonstrate the lubricative effect…
@ScottyKilmer - Love his product reviews! 😂
It's always been good stuff but it still has an "Infomercial" stigma with many.
I've been using Nu finish for years and years. You still need to clay bar first. Like is said in the video: use an applicator to put on a thin layer. I use a cheap buffer to remove. I'm amazed at how long it lasts, easily 2-3 years. I hand wash my cars and the wax in the detergent is enough to maintain a slick surface. Note: I live in the south with no road salt. If you live up north it won't last as long.
I’ve been cleaning/detailing cars for over 20years and found nufinish to be an excellent product even compared to professional compound or even newer ‘paint protection’ type products . . .
Can this be used on new cars ? Was going to use on my 91 Honda but my friend wanted to use it on their new car. Thanks 👍
My dad loved this stuff. He did a spot on our camping trailer and you could see the shiny spot for over 10 years!
I have heard from Scotty Kilmer that it works on windshields like rain-x.
Rob Wells ya I tried it and it works well. Goes on real easy too. Makes the windshield crystal clear.
@Frotax Frotax yup. I have specific glass polish but you're exactly right
@@tnargskoorb1 Do you have any wiper judder?
Only on Toyota's though !!! Lol !!! 😁✌
I’m going to try it. Rain x is okay but I could swear it used to be better years ago
My Dad has been using this stuff since the 80's. I've been using Nu Finish since the early 2000's, I've tried other waxes but I always go back to Nu Finish.
NuFinish is the greatest car protector I have ever used. Nobody paid me to say that. Sometimes using a smaller amount makes it easier to take off. It beads up water and protects your paint.
At 05:00, "Trash Panel"?. I wish my finish looked like that!
He meant that it’s from a junk yard but I agree
I've used this product for years! For the average car person...It works very well! And it does last. And use it on your windshield too! It works and lasts a long time! For the money....You cannot go wrong!
"Somebody's gotta rub something on something at some point in time."- Robert Kraft
I’ve been using Nu Finish since CR rated it #1 (years ago) and am extremely satisfied with the results
Been using for twenty years. My black Maserati looks great , no streaks. I use it once a year. I had a Chevy National winner with Lacquer Paint And it worked terrific. I detail high end cars and costumer's are always asking what I use but I don't tell them.
Hmmmmm ... looks like you put it on a mirror-perfect surface to begin with .. So how can we tell how good of a polishing job it does?
Ive hand buffed out some pretty gnarly scratches with this stuff just because it was all I had at the time. Works great. Try it on your windshield, you wont regret it!
I've used this wax for 40 plus years!! Cars,trucks,boats, even my kids aluminum boat, never used anything else. It's hard to work with but worth the time and effort!! I believe it to be the best wax on the market.
I’ve used it a couple times and it does a good job. He’s right about only using a LIGHT coat unlike what the bottle says. If it’s on thick it will look spotty after you wipe it off
I had a Mazda Miata that I lovingly clayed and polished with the Zaino product line. Very expensive. Later used Nufinish and layed down 5 coats over a 2 week period. My neighbors tree broke a limb and fell across the hood of my car, leaving a nasty mark. It actually just buffed right out. Nufinish is a strong coat of protection.
The Mazda was totaled, but the polish held up! Next you'll be telling us how you saved money on your car insurance! ; )
Excellent review! Scotty Kilmer recommends this stuff.
Yes, them Texas boyz have a lot in common.
SBha30 so right. Rev up your nu finish
Scott is from long island
Themachine Good to hear, though he now in Dallas, isn’t that Autoshop location?
@@chaslind Scotty Kilmer was born and raised in Niagara Falls, NY.
Thank you Scott for giving this world real, accurate information. Scotty Kilmer knows a lot about mechanics but he definitely need to be more informed before making car cleaning/detailing videos.
rev up your engines!!! Brrm Brrm Brrm Brrrrrrrrm Screeeeech!!!!!.......... sorry.....I couldn't resist that.
Scotty recommends - wait for it - NU FINISH!
Scotty Kilmer did a video on New Finish where he praises this product, so what ya talkin bout dude?
A boat is in the direct sun at a marina all Spring, Summer, & Fall here. In addition when you use the boat almost everything gets wet from time to time. I experimented all season with every wax, polish & combo product I could find.
Nu Finnish lasted much longer than 15 other products. It wasn't the brightest shine, but I could of made it much shinier by using a clay bar first & then a high speed buffer. Then with sprayed on distilled water & a microfiber towel to finnish & of course always with an up & down motion.
Best,
Scott always looking forward for the next video, so MUCH info, by the way just recieved my first order of Jack's OH MY GOD these towels are the BOMB
Thank you my friend..
Much love and thanks for the order
It is great stuff. I have a 25 year old car that sits outside in Adelaide South Australia. Not usually any freezing but 45 deg C days in summer. It cops a lot of sun and sits at work getting a lot of dust from a steel recyclers next door. NuFinish lasts about 3 to 6 months before I need to do a top up polish. Paint still looks new as it doesn't grind off the clear coat like some more abrasive ones do. and unlike earwax of unicorns expensive polishes, it is budget friendly. I does smell but a small price to pay for such a great result. I have switched over to a Turtle Wax liquid polish which is comparable and a damn sight easier to apply only requiring a wipe with a damp microfibre cloth. But it is dearer. Still a good product the old Nu Finish! Probably the only negative is the white staining of rubber and plastics. t can be cleaned off but the new liquid stuff doesn't need that step so more time to do things I want to do.
Sounds like Ray Romano😁
It is Ray that's why he isn't showing his face.
A little higher pitched but pretty spot on. lol
In Australia I do a lot of off road Desert Driving - I have used it for years.
Off road I don't bother polishing but simply put it on to protect the finish from mud & dust (YES - we DO get mud in our deserts from time to time),
My dad started using that years ago. I ended up doing my car in his driveway. I was sold on it. The stuff really works on older oxidized paint, thats where it REALLY shines. You do not have to keep reapplying because it actually seals the paint and slows down further oxidation of the paint. DO NOT get it on plastics. Its a bugger to get off.
This stuff works well on fiberglass tubs and showers too.
I have used Nu finish on all my vehicles for more than 8 years. I apply it twice a year with an application sponge then wipe off with terry cloth, small sections at a time. I also use this on my windows. This is a good video.
"Somebody has to rub something at some point" haha I like what you did there
One issue if you want to call it an issue is that rock chips on a dark car paint makes them more noticeable since it dries white.
Nice honest video (good length too, under 10 is my magic cutoff)
Videos over 10 minutes give you more revenue from UA-cam.
If you read the label you'll find that just about EVERY polish contains some abrasives in it. That's a part of how it works. Beyond that there's light and heavy rubbing compound. And of course there's the
clay bar. Wash the car well regularly, put a coat of wax (polish)
on it several times a year. Done. 👍🏻
I have been using NuFinish on my vehicles for over 20yrs It’s a great value & it works guys used to laugh at me for using it on my Harley saying it was cheap crap. They would spend hours with more expensive products polishing and complaining how hard their expensive products were to remove. That’s when I had the last laugh.👍
This was a spot on review of NuFinish. I dont personally care for it but always have it on hand. Its absolutely great for those paint mars you get in parking lots, fills up key scratches, and I use it on my work truck...yep once a year. Lol. Does it last that long? Not really but its a work truck. I do not use it on my personell vehicle or cycle. It would not hurt it at all but I just enjoy other products more.
Love the stuff for over 30 years. Cleans tar a grit off wonderfully while polishing and waxing. Thanks for letting everyone know about Nu Finish.
My favorite is nu finish for all my vehicles and I detail my stuff.
I absolitely love listening to you😂. Great humor and great content. Very knowledgeable and you know what you are talking about.
I've used this product for 30+ years and it is the best stuff I have ever used. I traded in a car once and the delearship would not believe that the car had never been repainted - it WAS the original paint. It lasts forever as well.
You just applied it every few months?
@@IVAN2233 Yes = great stuff. 2-3 times a year is all you need.
Not much of a demonstration since the panel was already quite shiny and glossy.
I've been using NuFinish for 30-years. It hasn't changed a bit - thank-God! I've used many other premium brands. They are great for a monthly wax, but they don't last like NuFinish. I don't know what they put in it, but it shines for 5-years before re-application. Totally amazing product.
Best bang for buck sealant.
Just put this on my black BMW M4 this evening and boy it is impressive.
I have used this product for years. This video had some good information on application.
I use New Finish on my cars and really like it! It's the easiest "stuff" to use I have ever used. I recently used it to shine and RESEAL my Slate stone topped furniture pieces and it made the five pieces look great, shiny and slick. Very versatile polymer sealant.
"no buffing" they meant no machine required.
Interesting. I’ve been using way too much product. That’s good to know. I learned the hard way to keep it off the black plastic (and rubber parts). It’s impossible to get it off. So prevention (stay away or tape them off) is key and I use “Back to Black” exclusively on those.
I just used it, i wiped it on with a damp cloth, but once dried i took it off with my electric buffer, then wiped down with dry microfiber real quick, that thing shines like a diamond
Purchased the mequiars wheel brightner and I must say I was impressed.
I have learned a great deal from your videos thank you for your content.
You took a wrong turn, that's another video. This one's on Nu Finish applied to painted surfaces and not trim. And, btw, it's spelled Meguiar's; and, wheels are down low on the car. ; )
I really loved your video on Nufinish. I tried it and it work great. I applied a little then went nut with it until my car was caked with it lol. Then I went to rubbing the chalky residual effects off then I stood back and I was blown away . It was shinier than when I bought the car.
I have used this product forever...it is easy to use and the shine is outstanding.
I love this stuff & have used it on all my cars for the last 35 years!!
I can remember a commercial years ago when the guy went to a junkyard and applied it to a dull finish car and it came out shinny.
very nice simple video again buddy.b well😃😃
Just bought 4 at target on clearance for $2.80 each! 😅🤘🏼
When I was a teenager we owned a black ‘59 Cadillac, which I hand waxed every chance I got. It had acrylic lacquer and no clear coat. Rain Dance, which is still around, did a marvelous job of removing oxidized paint and saturating the color, making it appear far darker than Kit, which I tried once. It beaded water exceptionally well and was long lasting. I suspect it contained more silicone than other waxes.
From a neighbor who uses NuFinish, it appears to be long lasting. His ‘05 Tacoma, which he parks outside, looks fine. I think he said he waxes it only twice a year.
I have used this product since 2010. Works great and my vehicle never started to rust. It’s true I am lazy and a once a year wax/polish is just my speed. I’m glad I made the right choice in buying this product without the help of a product evaluation.
Finally a no bs review. Thank you for the honesty!
Putting any car coating/sealant on a painted surface is not the definition what a 'wax' is. Nu Finish is a silicone based treatment just like Armor All but with added ingredients. "Wax: Any of various natural, oily or greasy heat-sensitive substances, consisting of hydrocarbons or esters of fatty acids that are insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar organic solvents." I would never put anything with silicone on a painted surface if I ever planned to repaint. It creates 'fish-eye' when repainting unless you add silicone to the paint you're using to cover the old. Does it work well for it's intended purpose, yes. Still, not a wax. My lacquer clear coat is not a wax, and it does exactly what you said a wax does under your definition. Also, don't put any silicone based polishes on furniture.. for the same reason. Even after removing the old finish, silicones remain and you have to use 'fish-eye remover' in your finish coat to make the paint flow evenly.
I remember how much it popped the shine when I was around 14 and I used it on my dad’s monte ss. I’m about to use it today on my super duty, appreciate the tip on the amount for sure as I have some sq footage to cover with little product
I've been using Nu Finish for 40 plus years. It's an excellent sealer with polishing characteristics. But what gives it an edge over many other sealants is that it is very capable of removing bugs and tar at the same time. I use it twice a year. For the money, a great value. I have compared it Ceramic coastings and am unable to see any discernable difference in shine. One caveat, do not apply to mat paint finishes or vinyl cladding as it is difficult to remove. If this does happen, a pencil eraser will remove most of the accidentally coated areas. Also, do not apply Nu Finsih to car windows as streaking will occur and will be next to impossible to remove.
Why shouldn't I apply to window or windshield?
You wanna know why ?????
Ive been using Nu Finish for a long time. Ive tried other waxes, but to me Nu Finish is and will always be my preference. I use the bottle paste in this video with an electric buffer, then I go over it again with the spray bottle to (I hope) add another layer of protection, and to get any of the paste I may have missed getting off in the first run. I know people will say "this or that is better", this is still my preference. It may not be the shiniest on the market, but imo its the best in protection
You said it perfectly. You gotta have common sense when using anything like this and sadly these days common sense is abput as rare as hens teeth.
I use this on my windshield to repel water. it works just as good as rainX. I've used it on my lighter color cars also. On my dark color cars I use Pinnacle brand carnuba ( not cheap) and I must tell you this is the easiest wax job I have ever done. Apply with a microfiber cloth and wipe off at the same time. Results are spectacular especially after clay barring.
Nu Finish has higher reviews than the top expensive waxes and polishes.
I use to work for an Automotive Wax / Detergent Co. waxes have mild abrasives , silicone oils , and a synthetic wax and ,emulsifiers .
I thought it was wax-free, which makes it also good for windshields. Makes the wipers glide smoothly
and gets rid of the noise.
I use this stuff on fishing rods and reels. It does an amazign job at protecting that stuff from grit, grime and salt.
Thank you for the information. Now I know not to apply too much. BTW, you sound similar to Ray Romano.
I thought I was the only one who thought Ray Ramano had a side job. Lol
I tried it out after buffing the car out shiny as heck comes off very easy
I have only use Nu Finish for 30 years. On all my cars, trucks, camper and JetSki. Works great, last longs and protects the paint. Highly recommend…….
I love this stuff. I've been using Nufinish since the late 80s on my cars. I works great!
Scotty Kilmer approved
Can you imagine Scotty waxing his car? Lazy man's product, probably doesn't wipe/buff it for added protection. Haha
I've read in magazines that you should never let a wax dry all the way before you remove it. Opinions??
I use this on the glass of my car which works great and keeps wipers lasting a long time.
He says to keep it off plastics and rubber but, with so many rubber and plastic parts on car nowadays I wish he would explain a good way to do this. I found it to be extremely hard to do so. My only solution would be to apply a different wax when going around the plastics and rubber.
I used this years ago and was very impressed. Was on my high school beater. Everyone noticed immediately.
Yup, I used this on my 1990 454 SS truck in the early-mid 90s and kept it glossy black for years with minor machine polishing for swirls and scratches - no microfiber clothes back then :(.
Yes, that stuff is AWESOME>> Thank you Chicago's Turtle Wax!
This product has been used on autos entered in the most prestigious car shows in the USA and they took first place awards. that's good enough for me.

I put painters tape directly on the trim to prevent spillage. Sounds anal but it works
Use a large amount is like the shampoo bottles of years gone by that said "Shampoo, Rinse and Repeat" is to sell more of the product.
I have been using Nu Finish for decades.
I bought a new car a year and a half ago. It is dark blue. I washed it and applied Nu Finish.
A year and a half later without another washing and the water still beads.
