NuFinish

I also used Nu-Finish in th 1980's, but not on German vehicles. As you said, satisfactory, inexpensive and fairly easy to apply - but not wonderful.

I hope you're not referring to Meguiars cleaner-wax. This petroleum based product did a very poor job on my black Z3. Although not cheap, I've had excellent results with Zymol (about 37% carnauba).

Have you tried the P21S wax Tom? Cheaper than Zymol and it's AMAZING on dark colored cars, especially if you prep with p21s gloss enhancing paintwork cleanser.

Not yet. Since I traded my black Z3, my two cars are Electric Red & Maldives Blue. But if you still recommend P21S for those colors, I'll try it after using up my supply of Zymol. Thanks.

I'd still recommend it. I buy my stuff from carcareonline.com. I've never bought from this website I'm about to link to, but I'm linking to it to show two pics that I find to be a realistic representation

If you have a Harley dealer nearby, you can also get some S100 wax, which is supposedly the same as P21S, but under a different name (and cheaper, too).

You know, I've heard that it's the same but cheaper, but I've heard somewhere else, I forget where, that it's basically the same but ever so slightly different, so that, coupled with the fact that the nearest harley dealer is an hour drive from me, I just get the P21S.
