Nu Finish Users????

Anyone use the Nu Finish car polish on their trucks??? I am thinking of picking up a bottle and it looked promising on the commercial and website. Commercials and info on websites can be biased though so I really want to know if anyone used the product first hand and can say yes it looks good!

Thanks in advance

We used to use that stuff on our boat, till we switch to a much better product, called 'Insulator wax' runs about $18 a bottle, but stands up better than that NXT stuff everyone around here wets their pants over. I also think insulator wax is shinier.

I use Nu Finish on most of my vehicles. I am happy with the shine and it is very durable. It is also easy to apply if the paint is not overly oxidized.

NuFinish is used alot in boating, mainly due to its ability to stand up to absolute brutal sun conditions. Most waxes today, last about 45 days in the sun on fiberglass. Nufinish goes about 60 days, and Insulator wax goes a bit longer before its 'oxidized'

This isnt to say Nufinish sucks... but i have seen it used mostly in boating than anything else. Id use it on my truck, but, I have a few bottles of the insulator wax - which dad happened to get a bunch of bottles at big lots about 10yrs ago... goes on super super easy, almost like an oil... and when it dries, it comes off really easy, and the more your buff it, the shinier it gets.
