just a personal opinion, but nothing out there will ever take the dirt off your car and not scratch it like good ol soap and water. There are some pretty good detailer products but only if your vehicle needs a light dusting. If your car is dirty, it needs water to push the dirt off and a nice mitt and some good quality soap along with elbow grease to scrub the grime off. I suspect that vendors will always be selling this kind of stuff because a lot of folks hate to take the time to do it right and Im sure they will always assure you it wont scratch your car.. .or else you wouldn't consider buying it

Anything with the words "AS SEEN ON TV" is usually worthless.

Not true... My Pilot is 'as seen on TV'. So is the Pepsi I drink and the Dell computer I bought. I really don't think that something is low quality simply because they choose to advertise via one of the most effective means of getting customers. I've used many products that are 'as seen on TV' that actually work very very well. True, some of them are crap, but a lot of them are worth trying.

As far as this product goes, I think it probably does what it says it does. Many quick detailers are like this. I just wouldn't use it on a car that is very dirty. Maybe light waterspots and that's it. If it is any dirtier then I say F the enviornment and water converation and bust out that hose. lol If your car is basically clean, but could use a little wiping down, then this product probably works. So do dozens of other waterless washing products though. I'd use Poorboy's Spray & Wipe before I'd use this, but I also wouldn't be above trying it.

Just pay attention to the ingredients. It says it has carnauba in it. That will cause issues depending on what product you are using right now. My guess is that it won't work and play well with Zaino (as most products don't) and it certianly won't work well with any other sealant if you are planning on layering some on top. If you are going to use this product then you should probably stop layering sealants on the car until you strip everything off and start over. Sealants flat out don't bond to carnauba.

That's absurd. Dirt has to be removed or it will scratch the paint when it's wiped off. It's like honda polish for motorcycles. It will leave a nice shine when used on a clean surface but that's it.
