After the stuff's been applied the first time it cfreates a barrier which then protects the paint work with a carnuba wax finish not dissimilar from the sort of stuff you already say you're using by the sound of it. The main difference about this product is that it stops the dirt from scratching the paint as the cleaning process is carried out.
So you would have to wash it with water the first time, otherwise it will seal in the grime.

Of course some people don't get on with some products and sometimes that's because they don't use them properly. All I can do is report what I've actually done and tried and until you do the same you can only base your opinions on those of others.

62 pages of nearly all 5 star reviews = an average rating of 4.8/5.

I don't see many products of any type with that number of ratings and that average.

I'm very suspicious of any product that has pages and pages of 5 star reviews, as most of them are often fake. A perfect example of this is Ergoflex.

I tend to read all the ones that aren't 100% positive, as you tend to get a more realistic review that way.

You also have to to take into account that many people will leave a review after the first time they use it. This doesn't take into account long term use. One of the Amazon reviewers did go into the long term use.

I think the Amazon ratings probably give a better picture.
