Hey don't know if you guys ever tried this but it's great. Bought it at Carlisle, awesome stuff. Better than the other contenders for a third of the cost. You can buy it at Americanapro.com

Now I've seen everything! A polish for toy cars. I still have some Hot Wheels, and Matchbox cars. My question is, how are children going to use it? It plainly says on the label, "keep out of reach of children". Mattel must be getting desperate, to sell car care products for real cars!

Is this stuff a polish or detailer?

The OP says it's a detailer, which is something you would use over wax as a finishing touch at a car show.

No need to wax first, I just use it as is. Repels dust and dirt. I put a couple of coats on my rims and the brake dust just rinses off. I’ve used them all, Chemical guys, F11, meguirs etc.. This stuff works. I use it on my classic cars also. Leaves a wet look shine.

But how long does it last ? Most detailers are just for short term and don't last long.

Seems to last awhile. It builds up a ceramic type coating and continues to repel dust and water. Good thing is you can spray it on your glass, chrome and rubber window trim. I use it on my Harley and the bugs come right off when I wash it. I’m sold on it, gonna buy a case at Carlisle.

Typically the ceramic detail sprays have something advertising the 'ceramic' part on the label. I did a quick lookup and found it's a polymer spray, not a ceramic spray. I'm sure it's a decent product, but I'm also guessing it would be best suited for day the vehicle is washed and prepped for a show or just a good day out on the town. Repeat each wash as needed. Of course this is an assumption - it may be really good and last longer. Never seen this one before so I may give it a shot after I run out of my current products. I'm using Adam's detail spray and then a ceramic spray I found on Amazon called Shine Armor. No opinion on it yet as I've only used once on the C6.
