That's not true. What you're talking about is a finishing wax. They're two different types of products. Cleaner waxes do have some abrasive qualities so they can be used as an all-in-one product. Get a little bit of correction done while having the protective properties of a wax or sealant in one step, rather than compound, polish, and then protect. I've used a handful of them and have no complaints about them. They are great for daily driven cars that don't need a show car finish all of the time, or for those of us that don't have all day to detail a car.

Can't really speak to the abrasive properties when it's correcting headlights, but I'd probably guess it's in line with a more aggressive polish. I've only ever used PlastX for that, and it worked great.
