Are those under car cleaners any good? Been considering one for a while

Got one from Amazon last year for less than £50 (simpler than the one the photo) and it’s compatible with my Karcher pressure washer.
Although the Z3 doesn’t really go out when it’s grimy, my X5 gets used every day and the country roads around me are often mucky and are heavily gritted in the winter. The under vehicle attachment works really well and keeps the underside of both Z3 and X5 pretty clean.

Is that all?
From what I have understood in this forum I was expecting a secret laboratory full of high tech devices and extraterrestrial chemical materials…
And I just saw a normal wash… much disappointed.

Autoglym Engine and Machine Cleaner sprayed liberally all over the engine bay then agitated with a soft paint brush. Rinsed with a low flow hose, mopped up any pools the sprayed Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber Care liberally, shut the bonnet and washed the car. Popped the bonnet and buffed up with a fibre cloth.
