I also have to agree with Lee, GR and Ben
You cannot get rid of that amount of dirt with one cloth without micro scratching the paint surface, regardless of the product. A drop of water with mineral oil can also hold micro particles. Most professional car cleaners use a pressure washer with warm water at around 45 to 55 degree C to lift the dirt and grit off the paint before they hand clean.
In the video, I noticed they were also wiping the cloth over dry areas not actually covered by the spray. You can still see spider webbing on the curves above the wheel arch. Some of these products look good as initially they fill in fine web, however using this technique they will create more over time.
You could get a similar effect to this by using one of those cheap quick clean & polish sprays from any auto shop using the same technique. From a distance any car will look good. I would be interested to see the ingredients used in this product. If it is eco friendly, I bet the main ingredient will be distilled water.
