Some dude at gas station sprayed some on my car to demo it, wiped it with a towel and it made it shiny and then he sprayed some on the rear side window to clean it and showed that fingerprints wouldn't stick, and some on the wheels to clean off the brake dust. He tried to sell me a couple cans for $25, but I said I want to do some research first. I also didn't feel comfortable buying from a company whose reps just walk up to people's cars and spray without asking for permission first. Now I am kind of worried if it's safe for the paint and if I should do anything about the spots he sprayed or just leave them alone. Anyone use this stuff?

It's not really a wax per se, it's more of a spray cleaner.

Personally I wouldn't even consider it since that company is a huge pyramid scheme scam. I would go apeshit if someone sprayed anything on my car like that, and would absolutely call the cops if it happened.

seems similar to ONR but I would be afraid of rubbing dirt into the paint especially the soft paint that Nissan uses.

I didn't like their marketing practices for sure. I am just wondering if it's safe to leave on the car, or if I should do something about getting it off.

It's probably safe to leave on, but like the other poster I would be concerned about this stuff scratching paint. It also might've removed whatever wax you previously had on the car.
