NuFinish changed formula?

I was reading thru about 400 reviews. Around 2014 people started claiming the product must have changed, as it wasn't lasting as long and left little white dots on their cars.
With the newer dark Montanas and Mountaineers, white spots would not be good!!
Has anyone here had problems with NuFinish not lasting or leaving dots?

Been using for years, no problems. Have experienced white particles which required a little elbow grease to remove because I used in the sun and left it on too long. Never happened in the shade.

So, retired06 - do you apply it over the side decals (and the front for that matter)???
Thanks.
Oh, and how long is 'until it has a haze'? sun and shade times??

Start wiping five minutes or so after the haze. Don't want to apply when the fiberglass has been sitting. In the sun and hot. Wax or polish spells death for the graphics. Apply up to the graphics edge. Do that, NuFinish is a great product.

I've been using NuFinish for many years and it does a great job. The only down side is that it says you must put a second coat on within a certain time period...not sure, probably 30 days.

I have also been using NuFinish for a very long time. If someone was having problems with it I would suspect that they were not using it right or possibly they purchased some product that had been on the shelf for an extremely long time. I have bought several bottles since 2014 and it has never changed in how it performed and how long it lasted for me.

I have been using NuFinish for years on my 2010 and the 2015 I wax over the decals and all. Both rigs looked like new. Decals not a problem and on the 2010 looked like new.

Wayne, your experience with NuFinish over your decals has been good and you are in hot weather? This is good, interesting news and makes me wonder about trying it on my older Monty. I have no graphic peeling or cracking and am cautious about doing anything to change that

I have used it for several years on a recommendation from a fellow MOCer and have had no problems. in fact my graphics where fading an peeling before I started using it and it has signifigantly slowed down. Just a coincidence, I don't know.

Before you put NuFinish on your decals, recommend you read the direcions on the bottle.

I use nu-finish all the time and i love it, But i wax over the nu-finish with a high quality carnuba wax a week or so after. I use a buffer to apply and then wipe off. Good for the year.
