I've used it. It's okay in a pinch and is quick and easy but I found it doesn't last long in use. Tom Kirkman from the Highpoint area from rodbuilders fame I believe came up with it. He claims it cleans and conditions the line in one swipe. So does SA's stuff but it lasts a great deal longer.
The treatment that really seems to work takes some work to apply properly. Rio Agent X and Glide both make the line super-slick for a long while but to be effective they're best left on the line for anywhere from a couple to 24 hours before being buffed in.
I've taken to using SA lines with the AST finish and Rio lines with their Agent X finish. These things don't need no goop to work!  ;)
