phenomenal,
I just cannot imagine ANY wax being worth $60.
Seriously.

I have been using "Nu Finish" for many years, great stuff for about $15.
Just made my shiny new '05 black convertible look very nice!
You realize that Nu-Finish is intended for very old cars. It performs "cutting" meaning you just cut into that nice '05 paint. It makes old dull paint look new because it cuts it to expose new paint. Its a cut'n'polish. Very bad stuff. Zaino is completely non-destructive if you stick with Z2/Z6 combo.
Same here. Klasse is awesome. Does not disappear after a few carwashes or some hot weather.
No signs of paint on the cloths. Car looks great. And my white '66 coupe has had it on it for many years, it looks great too !
I always thought all polishes "cut" to an extent. I've used a polish on my
98 GT before to help get rid of scratches... never screwed my paint.-Mike

cut'n'polish.

That's because your cutting the CLEARcoat.
That's because the new one has a clear coat. You won't see what it is wearing off because of that.
Musty is right you should NOT use Nu Finish on a new car.
Sorry, sad but true.

That's what the "polish" does. Using it to remove scratches and swirls is what it is intended to do. A WAX is non abrasive. Each is it's own seperate step in maintaining a nice finish on your car.
You would use a wax often, but a rubbing/polishing compound only when needed.

If I may, I'd like to suggest a clay-bar cleaner process as a once or twice-a-year total car activity. It works great at cleaning off the fine contaminants that build up and don't always come off with a wash and/or wax. Tree sap and bug hits to name a couple.
DP Pics of the cars:
Thought so. I knew a wax was non-abrasive.... I've only polished my car twice in 3 years. Maintaining a nice couple coats of wax (occassionally getting out Dawn & getting rid of all of it) has kept her looking pretty decent *I* think.

Not on a brand new paint job!!
Good point. Using a cut'n'polish on a new car is un-necessary because its destructive. Please, save that ClearCoat!!
