Nuvite is good. So is Rolite.
This is a Ford/Chevy argument. Any quality aluminum polish which offers graduated abrasive-levels should work fine. The Nuvite folks have caught the public imagination thru good advertising and good distributor network...and superb product support with compatible accessories marketed alongside their primary product. But it has no particular advantage over most other quality aircraft polishes. IMO
