Its ok. Might be a bit hard to remove, but it lasts a long time. There are waxes that give a better shine. And don't believe the BS about it lasting a year.

Polish makes the shine, wax protects it.

The easiest to remove wax I've found is Eagle Nanowax.

NuFinish is hard on the paint. I believe it has some polishing ability too along with a protective layer (wax) that it leaves behind. Don't bother with it. Get a better product that pampers your paint. If you want to buy stuff locally, go for Meguiars #26 Hi-Tech yellow wax or NXT.
To get your car looking perfect:
Clay
Polish to remove swirls
Final Polish
Sealant
Wax

The secret is using very little product. Just enough so it starts to haze. Leave it 10 minutes and remove by hand with a microfiber towel.

I prefer 3M perfection I series hand wax, hand polish and hand glaze

if you got air compressor and air polisher, go with 3M Perfection II series, machine wax, machine polish and machine glaze.
