Nu Finish contains silicone...by brother was involved with repainting a plane and they couldn't get the paint to stick. The former detailer gave a sample of product used and they sent it to a lab. They found that it contained silicone.
He was curious about Nu Finish so he called their headquarters and asked. They told him, "Yes, it does contain silicone."
He told me that material data sheets do not have to list if silicone is an ingredient by law so many companies do not.
At least when doing planes, you do not want any silicone in the products. Using it on cars is up to you, I guess. I just saw the Nu Finish topic and thought I'd through in what I've heard.

Don't Feed The Trolls.
Sorry if you think you're getting flamed, but you've walked into a forum, made proclamations, and now you're getting defensive when you're not getting the response you wanted... or, maybe you ARE getting the response you wanted. In either case, the best thing to do is let this die. If you want to stick around and learn, great. We'll let the thread die, and you can start over. If you're trolling, great. We let the thread die and move on. In either case, we should kill this, unless everyone is having fun arguing.

Nu finish ain't so bad....
I have used it, and I feel it has it's uses. Would I use it on a new car? Hell no....
Here are a list of pro's
1. Cheap and readily available
2. Durable (more like 1-2 months max)
3. Decent shine, nothing to write home about
4. Ability to spruce up old finishes (good one step, prob one of my favorites)
5. Lasts long on fiberglass boats (good cleaning ability)
6. Decent product for the novice detailer or oneo that has no time to prep
7. Easy on easy off
Cons
1. Gooey and messy
2. Dusts like crazy upon removal
3. Stains black trim like a you know what
4. Contains abrasives (could of low quality and consistancy) do no use on a new car
5. High solvent content (aids cleaning power)

I think it would be fair to say that just about everyone has used a less than professional grade polish at some point in their life. I know I started detailing cars when I was around 14, and naturally used the products that were available at the local buy-anything store. Yes, I used Nu-Finish among others, and frankly, I was quite satisfied with my results for years, and others were also impressed with my car's appearance as well.
It wasn't until I got on this forum that I learned of other products that could be used (DACP, #16, S100, Klasse, etc) to achieve a much improved finish.
So, now I have seen the light, moved to different and much better products and in the process have found my results to be much better than I had ever thought possible (with a little help from the PC).
Detailonator, check out the wealth of knowledge available on this forum, try some of the products and methods mentioned, and I'm sure you'll find the results to be much improved.
As for the paint improvement in your picture, it looks good from a distance, but would need to see a larger, brighter and clearer photo to really understand the improvement made.
