Where did you get it from and/or where can I get it?

Id also like to recommend a product NuFinish the "once a year car polish". (FOR PAINT) Ive been waxing/polishing all sorts of cars both with new and old paint jobs, and of all that Ive tried this stuff really works. It gives the shinyest finish, the smoothest (to the touch) finish for the longest time- about 3-5 months for a ungaraged daily driver.

It also hides light scratches(i used it on a new but much offroaded 4wd), but it doesnt remove paint (its not a cutting compound), the scratches do reapear if you dont reapply within a year. I have also used it on old cars with chalky paint, so chalky its white, just a light rub of it restores it back to color and makes it smooth to touch- again with no visible residue paint on the cloth.

I think its pretty amazing for a product that you can buy in a kmart. There used to be ads for it on tv- they looked dodgy, promised a lot- but after using it for a few years now, its still good, does anyone know what they use in it?

They also have nu-finish car wash- it is clear and doesnt leave nearly as much residue if you let it dry in the sun compared to say tutlewax car wash.

Guys this is the best polish you can use I have been using it for years the best place to get it is from truck spare parts places you will not use any thing else after this.

yeh thats why I found nufinish amazing coz its not a cut and polish, you wont thin your paint and u get the same result. No rubbing at all, just apply, let it dry and buff off.

Even more bizzare is they say you can apply it in the sun as well, and I have done so in the past, workes just fine.
