That all sounds excellent but how man cars or how many times can that wax be applied for the cheapest container they offer?

Would these cleaner waxes be the same: Klasse All In One and Autoglym Super Resin Polish?

And for some reason when I searched for the Vapor Wax thats shown in the bottom of the picture this comes up: http://www.autopia.org/forum/car-detail ... rning.html and http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/in ... 8721&st=15.

You have to admit they are right.

I can't take any of that seriously.
Based on what I read The people who used it and liked it were banned and the people who never used it were the ones making negative comments.
Name calling and prejudicial statements indicate a limited ability of those people to communicate with reason.
As a intelligent person I could not put any value into those comments.
From personal experience I can tell you that an acrylic paint conditioner is not a cleaner wax or polish like Klasse or a resin.
What I have learned is that there is a difference between restoration products like polish, Wax, buffers and sealers and a preservation product like Pittman VaporWax which is an acrylic paint conditioner.
The ALR blog considers Autopia.org as a joke and even posts a link to their vaporwax warning in a section called the "Nut gallery".
Once you read the ALR response, you have admit they are the ones who are right.

VaporWax videos on You Tube show what an acrylic paint conditioner is really like on acrylic paint.
It shows that the people making the negative comments had no knowledge about the product.
