Review: Yep - I see why it gets Consumer Reports' best rating - 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.
Review: tried and proven - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this Nu Finish added to tumbling media to clean brass?**
A: Yes and no. It is a protector and polish. My tumbler holds 6 lbs of 50% corn cob / 50% walnut media. I add 3-4 tablespoons of mineral spirits for cleaning and 3-4 tablespoons of NuFinish to each batch of brass I tumble unless I have more than one batch to tumble, then its every 3 batches. You will know when to add more. When you add it let the tumbler run for about 10 minutes before you add the brass. You need to have no clumps in it or it will get inside the brass and dry up. I also toss in a few cut up used dryer sheets to control dust.

**Q: how long do you keep this polish on the car before you start wiping it off? (small work section) ... 30 secs?... 1 minute?... 2 minute?**
A: It was around 68 degrees,  partly cloudy  and the metal  was lukewarm. I followed the instructions on the paste can, using a damp applicator pad. I started on the engine compartment,  making small , 3" swirls. At first it went on a little  odd, maybe the applicator was too wet, maybe the Polish was a little too old. After doing the engine hood, it settled down into what you would expect, so I quickly went around the whole thing, maybe 10- 12 minutes. I used professional  detailing towels,  and started buffing in circular motions. I noticed right away, that it was difficult to remove, tended to ' clump', and the clumps were sticking wherever they landed. I was immediately concerned something was wrong, and as I leaned down to look at the finish, it not only appeared as if it had oxidized, I could see swirls and scratches from the buffing. It also made a mess of my pinsriping, clogged up anywhere that wasn't a straight up flat paint surface, and still a week later there are white specks around the plastic trim pieces, door handles, etc. I suspect that the kind of instructions actually needed to use this are not necessarily the ones on the product itself. A very poor way to sell a product.

**Q: Do I have to wash my car clean with water before applying it or just clean the car and apply**
A: You really need to wash it thoroughly NU Finish recommends it so that the product comes into direct contact with the paint surface for proper bonding.
Please see  http://www.nufinish.com/faq/protectant for an FAQ section that is helpful.  I have used this product on and off for about 20 years. It has always worked. I never pushed it to see if would last an entire year, usually re-applied after six months. In one of the answers below  Michael M. recommends   using  "Purple Power Heavy-Duty Vehicle and Boat Pressure Wash Concentrate". this is the very best way to get it really clean. Available at Walmart
  https://www.walmart.com/ip/Purple-Power-Heavy-Duty-Vehicle-and-Boat-Pressure-Wash-Concentrate/50941516, 
 Use Bug and Tar remover where needed before the wash to remove any solvent residue. I have only used 
Meguires Gold for washing so cant say how the Nu Finish might compare.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0711KTX4N/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

**Q: Pls how long will it take for me to wipe the polish for the car**
A: Depends on the size of the vehicle.  A large SUV or pickup truck would take maybe 1 1/2 hours to do it correctly.  A smaller sedan maybe 1 hour.  Nu Finish goes on and wipes off easy compared to many of the paste waxes I have used before.  It also seems to last as long as a good paste wax, maybe longer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy On/Off and Lasts Long
*by P***2 on February 13, 2026*

I've been waxing cars since before I had a driver's license, so I've used a lot of different waxes. Nu Finish is all I use anymore. It goes on easy and buffs off easy if you use the liquid version, which I recommend. Consumer Reports rates it highly. We usually wax our cars twice a year although CR says it lasts a year. It's a very good product.
