Does Nu Finish provide UVA/UVB protection?
Nu Finish Car Polish does have UV protection. In fact, we originally tested our car polish on automobiles in Florida in order to expose them to the greatest punishment. Our results ultimately lead to the statement that our product is the once-a-year car polish.


Good to know. I clayed my 00 Century and applied 2 coats a week apart on it before I sent it off to CA. It should be interesting to see how it holds up in the San Diego sun.

Most likely nu finish does not protect against UV. It should be pretty durable though.

Do any spray waxes have UV protection?

Eagle One says that the Marine Wax as you dry does on their website.

Optimum Car Wax does.

If you have a bit of extra cash on hand, I'd recommend the Ziebart exterior wash package. Between the Diamond Gloss wash and Ziebart’s Protect-A-Shine, not only will it block UV but also protects the paint. So far we have been very impressed with it on our Subaru Outback. I suppose we shall see how it holds up 1 - 2 years from now.

After about a month or so I notice that the water beads are not as small as they were when the product was first applied. Has anyone had long term experience with the product.

What about using aerospace 404 on the paint after claybar and waxing?

Why not buy a nice cover for the cars? Keep the car clean and waxed. Use the California duster before you put it back on.
