Nu Finish Car Polish and Sealant for $17.34 at Amazon US. Limited deal.

The famous Once A Year Car Polish. This is the new “Ceramic” version.

This polish has been hard to get lately, Supercheap dropped it, it moved to Coles for $23.50 now not available there.

I have been using Nu Finish since it was advertised on late night informercials. It’s a great product in my opinion,

    Is this the same stuff that dealers charge $1000 for on new cars?

    • Grok on 22/07/2024 - 12:35

      No but it is better in my opinion if you apply it every 6 months or so.

      Yes I know I am contradicting the once a year motto but applying it every six months will prevent clear coat failure for a very long time if parked in the sun all day and indefinitely if parked mostly in the shade.

    • StuBalls on 22/07/2024 - 14:36

      If you're interested, "CQuartz" is a recommended DIY one.
      Something like this: (https://www.waxit.com.au/collections/ceramic-coatings/produc…)

        Bottle in house while child. Bottle bit child. No like product now.

      • Mortin on 22/07/2024 - 23:45

        Bought it back in 2018 and used it only once om my front windshield. Did not enjoy applying it and cleaning it and my wipers were skipping all the time. Never used it since.

        Previously was using Meguiar's Rainx and Turtle Wax products

    • SummerZero on 22/07/2024 - 18:35

      The original would leave white dust residue.
      And permanently stained black plastic trim.

      There are better prosucts out there these days that dont do either of these things

      I have no idea if the one in this deal is good or not though

      • diqs on 22/07/2024 - 20:13

        Agree, used to use it from way back, was good back in the day but outdated now with much more user friendly products available.

    I like Nufinish. Easy to apply and lasts ages. Used this amongst other waxes and polishes before I started DIY Mr Fix 9H and Turtle Wax Ceramic/Graphene.
    For something fuss free I'd still recommend Nu Finish

    • Grok on 22/07/2024 - 12:48

      It can also be used at a pinch as a RainX alternative on windscreens and as a cleaner and protectant for plastic headlights.

      Remarkably versatile, it lasts a long time because it is not an organic wax.

      • oz-dave on 22/07/2024 - 13:20

        Have you used it on rubber?
        One of the things I like about some of the other formulations (other brands) is that they seem to work well on plastic trim, door rubbers, glass, etc.

        • Grok on 22/07/2024 - 13:45
          +4

          No, but don’t get Nu Finish on black unpainted plastic trim. It’s like 💩 to a blanket

          • oz-dave on 22/07/2024 - 13:56

            @Grok: Does anyone have any idea whether this type of plastic trim can handle NuFinish?
            https://imgdrop.io/image/GN6AT
            I notice that some of the other ceramic products work quite well on this trim.

      People complain

      Where do they complain?
      Most of the Amazon reviews in the first 5 pages are 5 star (with a few 4 star).

      • MasterScythe on 22/07/2024 - 19:29

        Social media mostly.
        And person-to-person at car shows.

  • MasterScythe on 22/07/2024 - 13:27

    Absolutely full of silicone.

    Great for glass (when heavily polished off).

    And great to restore shine to neglected paint that you wont be doing proper correction to.

    • montorola on 22/07/2024 - 14:02

      Ahh nice, so can I use this on my faded paint corolla?

      • MasterScythe on 22/07/2024 - 14:29
        +1

        Yep, its not a friend to good condition paint; silicone holds dirt and can creep into imperfections and make them worse.

        But if its already 'gone' and you just want it to shine, this is simple and works for that.

        • maso on 22/07/2024 - 18:09

          any recommendations for an alternative to use on good condition/newer vehicles?

          • MasterScythe on 22/07/2024 - 18:35

            @maso: For novice home users?

            • Wash with Bowdens car shampoo.

            • Repair any defects with Meguires Ultimate Compound.

            • Wax with Meguiares Hybrid Ceramic Wax (a little easier to use, is Meguiars Wet Look liquid Wax)

            • For your weekly maintence wash, the unexpected hero - Turtle Wax&Dry.

            • Plastics and Interior: 303 Protectant.

            There are better than these products if you want to learn to "properly" detail cars, but all the above take genuine effort to damage anything or screw up. Real effort. Just keep the waxes off the plastics, and use the compound by hand, not machine until you're confident.

            The turtle wax and dry is the unexpected hero between full waxes, truly prevents water spots and re-seals. Its cheaper and worlds more effective than the "better" brands.

            Also, if this is your first ever 'full detail' replace the bowdens shampoo with dish soap. Once. And then never, ever, ever let it near the car again. Its only there to be a strong alkali and strip any oils and old waxes. Once.

            • Grok on 22/07/2024 - 18:43

              @MasterScythe: No normal person does that, no daily driver gets that treatment.

              Nu Finish allows you to keep your cars paint in good condition with minimal effort once or twice a year.

              You have been spamming here enthusiasts products that are not what Nu Finish's market is.

              • MasterScythe on 22/07/2024 - 19:00

                @Grok: No daily driver gets a soap, a wax/dry, and a UV dash wipe? I beg to differ.

                No spam here. Ive only mentioned product names once. And only when asked.

                Its common to see my "normal" neighbours wash and dry their car on a weekend, and wipe down the dashboard.

                Those are off the shelf consumer products available in Super Cheap Auto, Repco, and depending on region, even costco and BigW.

                I deliberately avoided enthusiast products and just suggested the easy and quick to use products.

                A spray as you dry, after your Sunday wash isn't easy? I guess everyone has their definition of difficult.

              • skillet on 22/07/2024 - 20:01

                @Grok: What?! I thought Nu Finish is what you use before you sell your car.

              +1

              @MasterScythe: Cheers, that's what I was after. Definitely not my first detail, but was after something of a complete "can't bugger it up" solution for when I don't want anything too spendy and the paint is already in decent nick, and it seems like there's a thousand options out there in that segment - cheers!

    • StuBalls on 22/07/2024 - 14:27

      AFAIK, that is what all these "ceramic" products are - they use silicon dioxide as the base.

        • StuBalls on 22/07/2024 - 15:05

          Ah right. That is good to know and I'd probably avoid this new formula. Thanks.

        • Grok on 22/07/2024 - 18:38

          Nonsense and complete nonsense at that.

          The last car I had for 15 years, I used Nu Finish twice a year and the paint was as new when i sold it.

          Nu Finish puts a thin coating on paint that helps protects it from the sun and also stops it from drying out.

          It does no damage to paint.

          • MasterScythe on 22/07/2024 - 18:55

            @Grok: I feels thas a bold, very broad claim to promise people… Tried it on original cellulose finishes?

            What type of paint was on that vehicle?

            Was it single or 2 stage?

            Why wouldnt you want your paint to dry out? Thats part of the catalysing process, and is very desired typically.

            Edit: I unpublished one comment as the msds shows its removed a lot of silicone and replaced it will nn tal-oil, better, but still not desirable on paint. Just unpublished my claim of "mostly silicone" to be sure I wasn't spreading misinformation.

  • Utsav23 on 22/07/2024 - 13:45

    I just ordered one. Guys, any tips on how to use this product?
    I also bought TW from a recent deal from Amazon US. :)

    • MasterScythe on 22/07/2024 - 14:55

      Keep away from any good quality paint.

      Apply to glass sparingly, polish hard, and remove as much as possible with a paper towel afterward for flawless glass.

      Works well on 'plastic chrome' and as tyre shine.

      • Utsav23 on 22/07/2024 - 15:56

        Do I need to buy any polishing tools or just microfibre towel is okay?

        • MasterScythe on 22/07/2024 - 16:39
          +1

          Microfiber is fine. Its not a real polish, its a sealant more so.

  • constipated on 22/07/2024 - 13:45

    Avoiding getting it on trim or dark plastic. Lasts ages on paint with water beading months afterwards despite neglecting the car otherwise.

      Yes, goes into every corner and looks white. Hard to clean

  • pumpkins on 22/07/2024 - 14:03

    Sold! Thanks OP. Used to use this all the time back in the day, about time I came back to it.

  • DoctorCalculon on 22/07/2024 - 18:17

    What is the recommended way to apply this product to your car's painted surfaces? Should windows be avoided?

  • mlakmlak on 22/07/2024 - 19:09

    I went through the car wash 52 times - the water still beads!

  • Toph Beifong on 23/07/2024 - 12:08

    Is the microfibre cloth washable/reuseable after being caked in Nufinish?

  • steven7062 on 23/07/2024 - 12:51

    another big fan of this, been using it twice a year on my car since new, with the odd clay bar treatment, car is now 11 years old and still looks great,
    apply with a damp cloth, allow to dry and polish off.
