Try this on your finish!!!! - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

I am one of the unlucky that had surface rust problems. A couple of factors attributed to this. The biggest being I live and work w/ in a mile of saltwater in humid Florida. Another being I dont like to keep my carry gun soaked in oil, so I looked for other alternatives. I got one that works and is cheap!
I have used New Finish in the orange bottle from Discount Auto, Walmart, ect., for a few years on my truck and boat. I am happy to say for the last few months or so, I have used it on my XD w/ great results. Havent oiled regularly, and no rust. I put 2 coats and have left it alone since.
I you have surface rust problems, try it. If it doesnt work for you, your out $5, and you can use it on your car.

Thats it. Dont know about a year though. I use it on my boat and truck, and it lasts longer than anything else I tried.

Just curious, if this is the stuff i'm thinking of then it's a lot like armadillo. When anyone puts either this new finish or armadillo on their gun do you coat the entire slide inside and out?

BPNovum · 02-19-2006, 12:09 AM

I can't speak for the other stuff, but yes, apply Armadillo to the outside of the slide for corrosion protection and inside on the slide rail as a dry lube.

HOW DO YOU USE THIS NEW FINISH ON THE GUNS DO YOU APPLY IT AND LET IT DRY THEN BUFF IT OFF OR DOES IT NOT HAVE TO DRY AND JUST PUT ON AND WIPE OFF PLEASE EXPLAIN THE APPLICATION

If you don't like it, send it to a reloader! Lots of us use NuFinish for case cleaning!

I have used NuFinish on my autos for years and I think it is great stuff. I used it on a Taurus revolver and had great results, sweat will just bead up on it and you just wipe it down with a gun rag. I applied it according to how much I carried the firearm, you can never use it to often but you really don't have to. You just rub it on let it dry to a haze and simply wipe it off no buffing necessary.
