PB's spray and wipe
So I ordered some because I like PB's stuff. First of all this could possibly smell better than HD. I know, I know nothing is better than HD but.....
Question is, anyone used it? How dusty of vehicle can you get away with?

You are supposed to be able to use as a waterless wash but I don't know, I would experiment with it.

PB Spray and wipe is my main QD. I been using it for about a year or so and can't say I've ever had a really bad experience with it. The only times I've had trouble with it was when the humidity was really high.
It's technically a waterless wash but I definitely wouldn't use it for that. Anything more than a light dusting or pollen I wouldn't use it.

I concur with LSU... I've been using this stuff for several years now and use it when a vehicle is extra dusty or pollen'y (is that a word?). It offers a much better degree of lifting than does a simple QD meaning that it'll help to 'float' material off of your paint so that it can be wiped off with ease and with a higher degree of safety.
Like LSU, under no circumstance would I use it as a waterless wash product.
The decision maker is ultimately you. You have to learn the limits of this product and know when to drag out the hose and buckets.
Also, don't expect this product to be a finishing spray. It's not. In fact, it's awful as a finishing spray. 99.9 times out of 100, I will follow with a better 'finishing' quick detailer product to remove the smear that will be left behind by the S&W.

I think this is the most important point, I feel this is the reason some people love S&W and others don't. S&W is a product that almost "has" to be followed up, you don't have to but more than likely you will end up with streaking. I almost always follow up with a detailing spray, for a while it was Meguiars UQD now it's Meguiars 135 which is basically the same think just in the mirror glaze line. What ever you choose is fine it's just important to follow up after with a good quick detailer.

Kudos to Boss_429 for turning me on to the stuff a long long time ago...
It's a great product but, it's not what some think it is...

You know the unfortunate part? In order to find the limitations completely, you would have to find out just how much grit makes micromarring.... There is a good reason why I try to err on the side of caution... My neighbors look at me funny though when I am QD'ing in the rain... (offers extra lubricity!!! and I was halfway done when it started sprinkling)
