Default Car Polish

Hey guys...I just wanted to know what car polish/wax you guys are using on your cars.
I'm using this stuff called Nu Finish it gives a good shine but it leaves this white residue on the rubber parts.
Anyone have any idea on how I can get it off?

Your help is greatly appreciated

Don't USE NU Finish!
It's CRAP! Trust me I used to use it,... And I find Meguire's Gold Class or Mother's WAX is FAR superior to Nu Finish. There's WAY MORE Expensive stuff to use, but I find Meguire's or Mother's a good bang for the buck, and since you live in good ol' Canada, just head on down to your local Canadian Tire, they'll have it there!
Anyway to answer your question, there's this stuff called : Back in Black, I think it's by either Simonez or Mother's, can't remember, but anyway, that should work!

Klasse is so far the best one I ever used. They are expensive but it reall gives nice shine and smooth surface. You can also use Klasse to clean window and it doesn't leave anything on the rubbers and any other material.

Can't say I have, but it kinda sounds familiar,... is there an infomercial for it?
Something about it "not beading" up the water, and it just "sheds right off"?

Yeah that's exactly the one. The infomercial caught my attention when they fired that laser at it.

I switched to the "blue" Zymol from Walmart and it is better than anything I've ever used. Amazing shine! I've also heard good things about Zaino Bros polish. I was a Meguiars user, but no more

car polish and wax are two different things!
wax is a protective coat that makes a clean shiny car stay that way. a polish is removes the top layer of your finish so that the layer underneath is clean and shiny.

anywho i use gold ol' turtle wax.
