Why wax the Mustang?

polish will bring back the shine in old or oxidized paint, probably not a great idea to use it on new paint because it is a very minor abrasive. Wax will help seal and protect paint and also keeps new paint shiny without abrasives.

yes in but it will only remove above the surface blemishes....unless there arent any and you constantly do it then it will start to take its toll on your clear coat.

I've used Meguires since I was about 18... my current Mustang a '91 has 180k miles and the paint still looks great. It's a 14-year-old car so it doesn't look as good as a brand new paint job, but for it's age it still looks very very good.
But I have washed, waxed it regularly since I've owned it. I suppose if I had used a different product like Zaino it may look better now, but that would be hard to determine... unless you had the cash and wanted to do an experiment.
That's it, we need someone to buy two new mustangs of the same color and use Zaino and some other product for about 15 years... then 15 years from now we can see the results

Is there any reason not to use Nu Finish Car Polish instead of wax? What the differeance beteen wax and polish? We have used Nu Finish Car Polish on the van and it seems nice. I did a search and only found 2 people like using Nu Finish, anyone else out there?

I have used NuFinish on my daily driver "beater" and it does shine and lasts a long time but for my classics and my GT only the best NXT. Heres some pics to show NXT.

ABO5GT,
It's very helpful that you have used both and it was great to see the shine in performance white (great poster).
GTJeff,
