I have tried a similar product (can't remember the company) but I was very displeased with it. I found that even though it says on the bottle that it is safe for clear coats that they lie. I spent hours waxing the normal way(the best way) to get my paint back to the way it was. If I were you I would stay away and do it the pld fashioned way.Jusy my 2 cents worth and expierence.

I have never heard of the stuff , but my first thought is if it is a spray how are you gonna keep it from getting all over your glass , rubber and stuff like that ?
Sounds neat but will make for a lot more clean up.

McQuires "quick detail" is a good product if you use it right.
I wax my truck every 3 months (Colorado = harsh UV rays harsh weather) I usually use Zymol (great wax!) and I always do it by hand (buffer = big mess). IN between hadn wax I will use a quick detailer once in a while to shine her back up. Some of the spray wax's I have tried work great! I usually spray it on the rag first if I'm working in a tight area. It's a PITA to get that stuff off glass, chrome, and the black trim especially.
Mcguires has good products. 3M has the best 4 step wax system I have ever seen, and Zymol makes the best cleaner+wax in one.
The 3M 4 step wax system is pricey, but man it is worth it!!!
Ph and I like to wax my windows and chrome rims too, helps them stay clean...........

I was at my girlfriends apartment the other night and saw this guy waxing his Jetta, paint and windows.
I kind of thought it weird that he was waxing his glass.
I have never tried this and am wondering if I should??
I know that I hate that wax in the carwash that gets on the windshield and ruins my wipers...
Feedback...?

Wax on the windows is just like Rain-x. Beads the water off for a few days. No biggie. Basically wax everything that isnt black.
