That's because the new one has a clear coat.
You won't see what it is wearing off because of that.

Musty is right you should NOT use Nu Finish on a new car.

Sorry, sad but true.

That's what the "polish" does.
Using it to remove scratches and swirls is what it is intended to do.
A WAX is non abrasive.
Each is it's own seperate step in maintaining a nice finish on your car.

You would use a wax often, but a rubbing/polishing compound only when
needed.

If I may, I'd like to suggest a clay-bar cleaner process as a once or
twice-a-year total car activity.
It works great at cleaning off the fine contaminants that build up and
don't always come off with a wash and/or wax. Tree sap and bug hits
to name a couple.

Thought so. I knew a wax was non-abrasive.... I've only polished my car
twice in 3 years. Maintaining a nice couple coats of wax (occassionally
getting out Dawn & getting rid of all of it) has kept her looking pretty
decent *I* think.

Good point. Using a cut'n'polish on a new car is un-necessary because its
destructive. Please, save that ClearCoat!!
