Dr Oldz Nuba Thread (Master Edition)

Thanks for that review. It made me curious, as it sounds like it has the potential to be in my arsenal. For certain jobs.

I checked online, their own web site, and they do say it has cleaners...

" You get easy application, paint cleaners, no white residue, trim safe, concealing and of course, protection. "

My bottle dorsn’t say anything about cleaners in it. I’m glad you confirmed my findings! Thank you!l buddy!!
 
I just put a coat of Souveran on the wife’s SUV. It already had some good stuff on it, but I’ll see if she notices any differences.

You`re welcome :)

Question: How do you think this would work on old single stage paint? Or does anyone have suggestions for oxidized SS paint?

I do NOT want to do the M7 treatment again! Nooooooo thank you.

It went on top of a few week old Polish Angel Black Wulfenite, which is an already amazing looking carnauba Spray with SiO2 and TiO2 base. Under poor garage lighting last night I couldn’t tell a difference. This morning I got 30 seconds to see my wife drive it out of the driveway. The car looked stunning, extremely rich black look to it. Perhaps a bit smoother reflections, Probably more so than before... but could have just been early morning lighting.

summary: whether in my head or not, I do believe I noticed it, and regardless, the car looks absolutely stunning, I think in a different, more rich way than it looked before (before was a bit more glassy and sharp).
 
Having dealt with ss a*LOT* since the `70s (and the Jag still has that; actually, I often prefer ss over b/c), oxidized ss can take some oomph; the chemical cleaners Meguiar`s put in their "Cleaners" back in the day were awfully potent for just that reason, had to be careful to do uniform work.

IME, even the most potent CleanerWaxes were often too mild, and I`d expect that to still be true, especially now that everything`s (cough cough) clearcoat-safe. I`d be leaning towards a dedicated Paint Cleaner or at least a potent AIO, but let`s see what Dr. Oldz thinks.

Of course the best course of action is to avoid the oxidation in the first place (though some say it`s inevitable and it might be to *some* extent if you want to split hairs).

OK, fair enough! If you change your mind in either direction it`d be interesting :D I was kinda the same way when I started using different Drying Aids, took me a while to determine that I really was seeing something genuinely different.

Banana gloss may be good for maintaining SS paint but definitely not for oxidized SS. You need the #7 treatment or if the paint is thick enough, some mechanical abrasives. Even some of the best AIO’s with quality abrasives aren’t aggressive enough for severely oxidized SS paint.

I got to see the car tonight and I can definitely see the difference. The car looks wet and inky black, reflections are smooth. Different from the previous sharp, crisp reflections. I love both looks, Souveran is the flavor I want and love at this moment.

That`s about what I figured, but thanks for confirming it.

I find it a little interesting that the M07 Treatment is so universally suggested; I use it far more selectively than some others, but that`s just me and it`a another topic. Sorry...back to `Nubas! :o

Ah, OK...I know *exactly* what you mean! Can think of similar diffs on our vehicles.

Thanks, Accumulator. I like that you have a ton of experience with such stuff, and share that info with us :)

I agree with you, and had told the owner the same thing (mostly).

wow, that`s a crazy deal. Makes sense, though. It`s the prior gen`s label.

I was afraid you guys would say #7 treatment. [sigh]

Thanks fellas

#7 Can have a thread that may be endless on its own. I often suggest it and use it because it is a non abrasive method. Although I use it much differently than Mike Phillips does(but with same principles and concept). I need to start that post one day also. But owning a few muscle cars from the late 60’s and very early 70’s with original SS paint, it is a wonder product.
 
Lusso Oro



Great coconut scent.

I believe this formula has Nuba and 3 other waxes in it.

Easy buttery application. I apply to a panel then remove. I find a plush MF works best for removal.


Very nice beading and sheeting.

Durability is a solid 3 months or better.

Plastic trim friendly.

Has a real nice old school nuba look but without the old school work. Nice gloss and rich deep wet look. Makes any paint look great but excels in the warmer and dark colors. The oils within have a very slight darkening effect but it still allows metallics to glisten. For me I always had fun with this wax and enjoyed the process of using it.

Priced very nicely. I have used this wax numerous times thru the years and it has never let me down. All around a really nice wax especially for the price! Smaller company that makes a nice well rounded wax.
