Yep, really is good stuff and great value too. Doesn't mist spray in the same way as most of the others, and kind of looks like a slightly different product when spraying on....but gets the coverage when spreading with the microfibre cloth and easy to buff off. The longevity appears to be better as well compared to something like a Meguairs product too.
