Car Paint Sealants vs. Car Waxes
I believe that informed people can make better decisions. For this reason we need to wrap our minds around some fundamentals when it comes to
not only the topic of Nu Finish, but the ever confusing topic of car wax and paint sealants. As I have said, NuFinish is the confused product that isn't; it isn't a polish and it isn't a wax.
Due to the fact that Nu Finish is made using 100% synthetic ingredients, it is a paint sealant in the true form. Due to the fact that this product contains no form of abrasives also means it is not a polish either. Now that you understand what NuFinsh is and isn't, many will be asking as to why choose a paint sealant over a car wax product in the first place.
Car Paint Sealants: The Ultimate Protection
Anyone with any long history in the auto detailing business can attest to the durability and protection that only a synthetic polymer can offer. The chemical bonds created by these synthetics are much stronger than the chemical bonds created by natural wax based products. For this reason, synthetic polymer sealants become a popular choice for the following:
- Anyone looking to wax less often rather than more often.
- Large items such as boats, RV's, and planes.
- Extreme weather conditions the above same items must endure.
- Owners of light colored cars where visual perfection is less a requirement.
Nu Finish Car Wax Review
Yes, I realize I just improperly labeled this product and am guilty of the very thing I expose; I am not trying to reinvent the wheel here, just merely going with the flow. I can tell you first hand that NuFinish is a quality product and will perform sufficiently for most people. But this doesn't replace the fact that most people don't realize the other alternatives available with other car paint sealants that can deliver better end results, and a better overall customer experience.
The Pros and Cons of Nu Finish
The Pros
- It works.
- Easy to find.
- Adequate overall user experience.
The Cons
- Marginal overall user experience.
- Lots of dusting during removal.
- Better products exist.
Professional Products Equal Professional Results
Just like every other industry, you have what is called retail level of performance, and then you have professional grade.
Professional grade will always out perform retail level of products and tools. The harsh reality is that at the retail level, manufacturers have to "dumb it down" in order to CYA (cover your ass)or more specifically, CTA (cover their ass)! Products and equipment are "watered down" in order to maximize profits and make things more benign; read as "safer". The good news for you is that you do not have to belong to any special trade group to have access to the very professional grade products and equipment that professional detailers do! The biggest problem you face is knowing which product actually works and delivers true professional grade results.
The Nu Finish Alternatives
The following selections will provide excellent results and give a better overall user experience as professional grade alternatives to Nu Finish car polish.
Detailer's Pro Series Poli-Coat Paint Sealant
Meguiars #21 Synthetic Sealant 2.0
Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0
The Winning Combination
As a general rule, any experienced professional detailer will tell you that synthetic polymers represent the ultimate in durability and protection. But they can also tell you that the compromise will be in visual results as liquid polymer sealants do not create the depth and hiding capabilities of natural wax based products in a paste wax formulation.
But what if you could have the best of both worlds?
You can! As a byproduct of advances in chemical engineering, manufacturers now formulate polymers into hybrid blends and done so into paste wax formulations that contain polymers.
The Winning Combination
If you are still focused on the ultimate in protection, then you can skip this section as the above liquid versions of these synthetic polymer sealants still reign supreme as far as protection goes.
But if you are also looking for superior visual results such as with a dark or black colored car, then the following will represent the winning combination of protection and beauty enhancement.
