I was going by AG's description of the product: "I think quick detailing sprays may be the most under-rated group of products that there is. Take them for what they’re worth—use on clean dry paint to refresh that “just-waxed” look and remove dust that has settled, use as an aid for removing stubborn polishes or waxes,use to shine tires, windshields, and hard plastic surfaces.
3M Quick Wax is good for anywhere or anytime you want to wipe away dust, smudges, dirt, or surface contaminants. Spray on, wipe off! Easy, versatile, instant gratification. What more can you want? It’s a detailer’s and show car owner’s best friend. Keep it in your glove box or trunk with a microfiber detailing towel, and use on panels that are still wet from washing and rinsing, during the drying phase to keep your finish sparkling, or between washes or major wax applications. It’s great for turning up the shine, instantly! It helps to extend the life of your wax. Best of all, it couldn’t be easier to use. Your vehicle can always look like you just spent hours on it."
On my bottle, it just has directions for use - it doesn't give a description of the product or say what it does. Which is why I'm not sure which group it would be classified in - spray detailers or spray waxes. The name is confusing as well.

I have a bottle right here in front of me and you're right, it's not real specific, it does include this,
Prior to applying 3M Quick Wax, remove any heavy grit on the paint surface.
The way they worded that statement it makes it sound like you can leave light girt on the surface and still use the product!
Seriously, before using a dedicated spray wax, it's a good idea to remove any loose surface dust, it's just too much work to remove swirls and scratches so why take a chance.

So, that being the case, which group does 3M Quick Wax fall into? Or is it kind of a gray area product?

It's a spray-on wax.

Mike, do you think waterless products can safely remove some bonded film? Is there are similar definition as you did with the typical spray detailer?

Use PLENTY of premium quality microfiber polishing towels
Don't try to wipe your entire car down using one or two towels if the goal is to maintain a flawless finish.
