However, I\u2019ll always give a car care product the benefit of the doubt until I\u2019ve tried it.<\/p>\n<p>As it happens, Nu Finish turned up at the right time. I hate seeing my cars dirty and after almost constant rain in late September my Smart ForFour was in a sorry looking state. So, I put it to the test.<\/p>\n<p>The makers, Reed-Union Corporation was founded in 1929 and they claim that theirs is the only car polish in the world that doesn\u2019t contain wax, instead it uses amino-functional groups, which I guess means it contains silicone and acts more like a sealant.<\/p>\n<p>It is certainly easy to apply and remove and the Smart Car is always a tough test for polishes and waxes as it features steel and ABS plastic panels on the body, with areas of black and others of yellow. It can be a real pain to make it look really shiny. It\u2019s caught out plenty of so-called world-beating waxes and compounds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/news_nufinish_2-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-17946\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/news_nufinish_2-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The once a year claim is a big one. It doesn\u2019t resist dirt and crud but refers to the fact that every time you wash your car it is supposed to restore its \u2018just applied\u2019 look. Reed-Union reckons that it lasts for up to 52 car washes before re-application is necessary. I\u2019m not sure about that but I have to say it brought the Smart up really well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/news_nufinish_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-17947\" src=\"https:\/\/www.totalkitcar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/news_nufinish_3-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The makers say re-apply after 30-days and that completes the application process.<\/p>\n<p>It is a complete miracle? No, to be honest, but it\u2019s definitely no Doc Holliday snake oil either. I\u2019ll definitely keep it on my shelf and will happily use it again, without question. I think if you have a car as I did, that needs a quick restorative polish then this is the idea.<\/p>\n<p>Surprise, surprise, it rained the day after I applied it and I have to say that its hydro-phobic or \u2018beading\u2019 properties are really impressive.<\/p>\n<p>A 500ml bottle costs just \u00a310.99 and is available via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homgar.com\/\">www.homgar.com<\/a> <strong>ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>I like to think that I\u2019m serious about my car detailing and can usually have a sixth sense when it comes to rubbish products, of <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/2019\/10\/18\/nice-finish\/\" title=\"NICE FINISH\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17940","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17940"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17940\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17940"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17940"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkc.grainwork.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17940"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
