I am a mobile repairman and have used chemicals for many years for their shine and ease of use. I recently went on a hunt to find a product that is as good as VRP. This product rocks. It's cheaper than chemical types and lasts just as long if not longer, and since it's water-based it leaves an even shine should you run away. Although thick, it takes very little and can be diluted from 1:1 to 4:1 depending on the desired gloss level.
