Almost every cleaner on amazon is like $10-20 for a miserable amount of product.
They are either both cleaner and polish sometimes even 3 in 1 product to give the illusion that you be getting more bang for your buck
For example, this one is $10 for a miserable 4oz. You would run out quickly. How much wax could really be there lol

Wouldn't cleaning with a damp microfiber towel and then applying carnauba wax product for cars, achieve the same result?
I mean seriously if is a gloss poly finish, you don't really need to do much. The thing is not exposed to the sun.
Why do people use these cleaners with polish, yeah it will make it shiny and maybe remove some scratches, but it's also removing the finish overtime, same as a car's paint, everytime you polish, you're taking off clearcoat. Only way to remove scratches off something is to remove the finish.
You can just buy some good carnauba wax for your car and use some of that for your guitar, the same thing as those "guitar" versions, similar price and you get ten times more product.
Clean the finish with damp towel, you don't need a dedicated guitar cleaner, is a gimmick to empty your pockets and you don't need to be polishing the finish all the time either.
