I am currently using Williams waterless wash and wax which seems to be pretty much the same as Greased Lightning.
When I bought the Williams waterless wash it was on a good deal and worked out cheaper than the Greased Lightning. Here is a link to one of the deals currently available.

Bin using the Williams stuff too, from Ideal World. ( 2 bottles for £15) ...

Pretty good as long as the you don't let the car get too dirty ..

If really grubby best give it a proper wash first for safety.

But you MUST use Micro fibre cloths..no old rags

I find the Williams Waterless Wash as good as Greased Lightning, but as Chris says do not use on a car of it is too dirty.
I find it ideal for waterless washing my 75 in the summer, but at this time of year I use the waterless wash as more of a polish after washing my 75 first.

If you like the Williams stuff they have got it up for sale in Home Bargains for £2,99 for a 750ml bottle.
I bought some the other day , through curiosity but i don't think its as good as Showroom Shine.
It doesn't haze over like Showroom Shine to buff off to a nice shine. It just stays greasy on the paint work and takes quite a few wipes to get it off. On the plus side though it sprays alot better than showroom shine as its a thinner solution and its also a clear liquid that doesn't stain black trim.
