anyone tried 5 star shine ?

I ran accross this www.5starshine.com ,a protectant that's supposed to protect up to 5 yrs. . Is anyone familiar w/ this? Had testimonials from MB dealers. Is it one of those to good to be true deals?
Currently I have 8 coats of Z on a blk. ML430, CAN NOT IMAGINE IT LOOKING ANY BETTER !
