The detail shops use them up here... it seemed to help get rid of tar and tree sap pretty well, but it is still an abrasive (as far as I can tell) so i wouldn't use it every time. Just enough to get the paint back in shape, them do the normal maintenance waxing and stuff.
Definitely I'd wash the car twice to make sure there is no surface dirt.
