- SCOTT WITH LUXURY MICROFIBER TALKS ABOUT NU FINISH THE ONCE A YEAR CAR POLISH AND TALKS ABOUT IT'S ADVANTAGES OVER OTHER WAXES ON THE MARKET
luxurymicrofiberstore.com/
Products Used:
1. Nu Finish Liquid Polish 16 oz for Cars, Advanced Top Coat Sealant with Simple Once A Year Application, Perfect Kit for Fiberglass Boats, Motorcycles and Various Appliances - amzn.to/2TSB6V6
2. Nu Finish Once-A-Year Car Polish (16 oz) Bundle with Microfiber Cloth Kit (2 Items) - amzn.to/39D9UA5 - Auta a dopravní prostředky
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 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.
This stuff has been around 100 years.
What a great review - straight up, and factual.
Thank you!
Love your straightforward style. Too many know-it-all shills out there. Thanks Scott
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 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.
My dad loved this stuff. He did a spot on our camping trailer and you could see the shiny spot for over 10 years!
Used it for years and it lasts a long time. Cleaned one stage paint very well. I may go back to using it as a sealant, but Scott is right, it will stain plastic and rubber.
Informative, I've been using Nu Finish for years with good results. Nice to get how/why it works. Thanks for the video.
I absolitely love listening to you😂. Great humor and great content. Very knowledgeable and you know what you are talking about.
This video is a classic example of your ethic and style, so cool. Thank you.
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
Scott I have ordered your Sucker, Jack and Big Daddy Towels and they are the BEST towels I have ever used. Very Happy Customer.
Thank you so much!
Thanks again for giving us the straight deal on the products you review. I have learned much and continue to. So Thanks!
I've used the product for years. It holds up great and protects my paint. Goes on and comes off easy...
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!
Thanks for answering all my questions.
For my next new car, I plan to include this in my exterior maintenance arsenal. Much appreciate your objective demo.
Finally a no bs review. Thank you for the honesty!
I have been using it since the late 80’s. Great stuff! All that you say is true. Apply it in the shade or do a section at a time and don’t get it on your black trim.
Informative and entertaining! I've been using the paste for years, love the product. Never tried the liquid, will this year! You make very keen observations! Thanks!
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.
This is my wax of choice for years and it really last. Just when you think it might be gone, it rains and the water beads or it shines after a wash. Really good stuff which I also use to keep my headlights clear.
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
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...
Best vid of a product I seen, keep them coming!
Nu Finish does not have abrasives. Since its silicone based its purpose is to coat the applied surface. Buffing or rubbing here refers to not to apply downward force while applying and wiping it off. Don't press down. What ever you use to apply you're using to spread it across the surface same when wiping it off you're just absorbing any left over polish that didn't adhere to the surface.
I use this stuff as a glass cleaner. I drive trucks. I first scrub the bugs off, then do a simple windex and wipe to clean. But you always get streaks, always. My final step is to put a little of this on a blue shop towel, wipe on a thin layer inside and out then a clean paper towel to wipe it off. Very easy and it comes out crystal clear, it removes all streaks left behind by the windex or other glass cleaners. Also use it on all my mirrors so they are crystal clear.
Love Nu-Finish. I’ve been using it on my black on black 2005 Lexus LS430 for 13 years now. It’s amazing. People regularly compliment me how how glossy my paint is, even on a 15 year old paint. And black is a pain in the ass to keep clean and shiny. I recommend it for sure. And it’s inexpensive.
Its amazing how long this has been around. Way ahead of its time. I've been using it over 30yrs.
Thank you. You don't know how helpful your video was. I was always iffy bout this product. Now I'm positive.
I am 67 and detailing my cars for many years. Been using NU Finish for I can’t tell you how many years and always been my favorite. Once I polish vehicle will continue to bead car wash after car wash and I am very particular about my car. This is my favorite. Thanks to the video. Oh and it is easy to apply and take off and leaves a beautiful shine.
Alex Leung troll much?
Yes. People who do not understand car care love nu finish. Do you use slick 50 as well? Octane booster?
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!!
I understand now Used this for years THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
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.
I love using this one widshields, mirrors, and windows. Comes off streak free and crystal clear! Works better and longer than rain-x too. Very good product especially for the price! :)
Very underrated use for it. It makes water bead better than rainx and last like 6 months on the windshield
I used to use it for windshields too, but rainx ceramic is a lot easier to apply and buff out.
"Somebody has to rub something at some point" haha I like what you did there
I have used this product forever...it is easy to use and the shine is outstanding.
Good review. Remember when it first came out on the market and it's still out there all these years later.
I remember many years ago, I would actually put that on my wash mitts and I'd say to myself "Polish while you Walish", and I'd scrub down the panels. It DID restore a bit of color and depth, but obviously wasn't the best way to use it lol
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.
He's back. Thank you very much 😁
It's my go to wax for years and I will continue to use it on every car I own.
I use NuFinish once every year. It works really well. It is best to keep it off any black plastic or rubber trim. I like how slippery the paint becomes. When I am done, I like to throw a clean cloth accross the car and watch it slide ovet it.
Any tips on how to remove it from black plastic / trim?
@@chaps203 if it's stained? Yeah that'll be difficult. You'll have to cover it or possibly remove the stained material.
Great product, been using it for years an only applied it once in direct sunlight and does buff off easily, but streaks like all get out. To remove streaks I lightly misted waxed surface with water and re-buffed.
I just applied some today, the paste, and had streaking. I got a lot of the streaks out by rubbing and buffing firmly. I think the streaks are excess remnants of the product. I'll try your method next time, thanks for the tip.
Used it couple days ago, very happy with the result!
My life is complete! Thanks Scott!
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.
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’ve been using Nu Finish for years and always liked the performance. I kept 2 black cars looking like new for 10 yrs. I would use it very lightly about every 6 months.
Awesome video bro! Thanks for the valuable info!
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!!!!
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
I'm so impressed by this explanation 👏 Thank you
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.
very nice simple video again buddy.b well😃😃
I’ve been using Nu Finish since CR rated it #1 (years ago) and am extremely satisfied with the results
Good job as always Scott !
Great. Thanks for this sharing about the usage and high efficiency of Nu Finish item .
👍❤️
4 decades using this product. The best car polish on the market. Remember apply and remove by sections. Hood, Roof, Trunk, etc.
I'm confused with this product. Is this to be used as sealant then? I'm planning on compounding and polishing my car. Would this be ideal for the final step in sealing and protecting the paint?
@@AllAmericanGuy01
You should contact first a good body shop in your area for proper advice. You can also apply this product in your final step.
@@solarflare1008 My local body shop wanted to charge me $400 just to compound and polish minor paint transfer on my bumper. I can only imagine what advice/sales pitch they'll give me. But you answered my question, thank you.
@@AllAmericanGuy01 I would try it on your car hood before compounding it and see check out the results, If you rub it in real good check your cloth and see if it is removing any oxidized paint you might not need to compound your car.Just try it first and see if get the results you want, compound removes a lot of your clear coat.
@@MrNorthstar50 LOL, you're a day late. I just paint corrected my car yesterday for the first time...7 hours worth of work!! I needed to compound because I did have minor scratches in the paint. I finished by using Nu Finish and it really made my car look and feel new -- super silky and crazy shiny like never before.
Nice honest video (good length too, under 10 is my magic cutoff)
Videos over 10 minutes give you more revenue from CZcams.
Great vid. Been using this for many years.
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 for years. This video had some good information on application.
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 👍
Used on several vehicles down through the years always Amazing Results! Very little effort.Wipe on..
Wait a minute.Wipe off! Shines nicely!
I have used it for 25 years on cars without any problems, my daughter had a red car with light oxidation and it brought it to full shine she loved it.
it would be nice if you started with a dull finish instead of a high polished surface
guess you didn't listen. It has VERY MILD abrasives in it. not made for heavy duty buffing or oxidation removal. Use the product for what it is intended for. Your paint shouldn't get dull if you take car of your vehicle like you should. It's purpose is too provide long lasting shine and protection for the person who doesn't want to spend a lot of money or time waxing their car. It will take out light scratches and help keep the paint shining like it did when it was new and you don't have to do it once a month. There never was and never will be that miracle product that will bring back that showroom shine to your 20 year old Monte Carlo that wasn't garage kept or maybe washed once a year and will only take 15 mins and will only cost $9.95 and so easy to do, you won't even break a sweat.
Exactly
@@donaldsharpless1746 maybe you don’t remember the original commercial? Where he was in an “auto graveyard” and used it exactly in a dulled vehicle.
But yes, if you take care of your vehicle, it should never get dull.
@@donaldsharpless1746 Guess YOU didn’t listen……it was described several times as a CLEANER wax……we can assume that it’s designed to restore oxidized faded finish.
I love this stuff & have used it on all my cars for the last 35 years!!
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),
been using for years on my boat sides and all my cars - excellent product.
Scotty Kilmer also uses and highly recommends this polish 👌
Omg. Not him and his bald ass head and annoying hand movements.
Gary till he changes how mind then that nasal voice..screamming no no...wonder how many people walked away from him
Scotty who?
For the wind shield only After you clean the glass very well.
Bet he has a different audience then this fine man here.
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 CZcams 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! 😂
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.
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.
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 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.
Love this product. Been using it for years. Twice a year I place on my car. Only product I use.
Awesome review and very informative thank you so much for the content!
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 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.
Very informative and educational review.
Much appreciated.
Thanks,

Based off of your presentation and vocab alone you just earned a sub!
This stuff works well on fiberglass tubs and showers too.
My favorite is nu finish for all my vehicles and I detail my stuff.
Scott, top notch review, thank you
I love this stuff. I've been using Nufinish since the late 80s on my cars. I works great!
Anyone remember "Rain-Dance"? I used to use that in the 80's on my red Honda CRX. It definitely prevented my red paint from oxidizing, unlike some more 'modern' waxes.
Brian D. That’s all I used on my cars in the 80’s. Worked great 👍
It worked great but the two part formula form the 80s was a bear to apply. It was like waxing your car twice.
Ya I was just thinking about Rain Dance the other Day I use to put it on my
1984 V 65 and its been Years since I've wax the Bike it stays out of the Sun Light
But it probley could use a coat of wax any sugestion ?
Rain Dance!! 💧👍👍👍👍
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! ; )
Great review , thanks I got some for my old Celica . Decent paint I think it will help. Subscribed.
Great review of any easy purchase product that really does work! I found a detailer from Tyler, Tx that does a 34-product comparison on a trash hood. This product is still shedding water nicely after 6+ months. That application tip is a gem to keep it thin and perhaps an easy way to apply two coats. Looks like a wet winter. We need products to last and for many this is a smart buy like your towels!
I'm In Tyler Tx too lol hows it still holding up
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?
Nice review. How do you feel it compares to other cleaner waxes? Mother's, Turtle wax, Meguiars?
I love this on my black Chrysler 200 it does last sooo long beads up over 8 months I love it gives my black a deep black shine
this is by miles the best one i have used, this stuff is epic.
It's always been good stuff but it still has an "Infomercial" stigma with many.
🎼Everybody rubs somebody sometime 🎶
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
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.
Somebody done rubbed somebody wrong, Don....
I used this for YEARS and loved it
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
