Eco Touch, used it for years. Works on windows, wheels and body. Does not remove wax and safe on clear films. I first found out about it through Auto Geeks. I inquired for a film safe product.
Auto Geek must have gotten a better deal with another product, they no longer carry the product. I purchase directly from the plant. 4-6 bottles lasts about 8 months.
My car is not run in the rain. California duster and then use Eco Touch. I also use the gold towels from Auto Geek.

I've used it for years. On my cars and on customer cars. Not sure how but it does it but it dissolves and emulsifies the dirt, even oily grime. I wouldn't use it if is really gritty(eg, sandy) but for general dirt, it works great, even if the dirt is bloby. Also good on windshields since it causes the water to bead up. Like other synthetic waxes, it repels dust which makes your California Duster work better. I really like it because you can carry it with you.
Things to note: It removes your wax and replaces it with its proprietary glaze. It's a bit pricey. Best to use it when car is in the shade. Bugs and tar take a little work. Don't get it on tires. Be careful around grills as it turns white when dry so you have to be able to wipe it off, but you can spray it and then drag the liquid over close to the grills, etc.
I use Ultra Ion but either works well.
