one of the jobs i dont enjoy is sanding down woodwork and radiators, so i was interested to see a liquid sander which just says apply with a cloth and leave for 30 mins.
has anyone tried this stuff?

Yep - as long as the surface is good and all you are wanting to do is provide a key for the fresh coat of paint. If the surface isn't good enough to take the new paint then, I'm afraid, it's back to sanding.
Liquid Sander seems to temporarily soften the surface of the old paint - I'd suggest using gloves if you don't want to soften the surface of your fingers.

the interesting thing was there was no mention of wearing gloves on the instructions, i looked twice but all it said was apply with a cloth or sponge

I use International Easy Sand quite a lot and find it works well - a bit like sugar soap plus fine sandpaper combined. But mainly outside, in places where I can hose the stuff off - it can be a bit tedious to remove with a damp cloth, especially if there are intricate mouldings.

It's a fine abrasive which has the effect of polishing the surface rather than providing a key.

so pretty much like sugar soap then but a bit stronger!
when these things say rinse off (eg sugar soap) that just means wipe with a damp cloth right?

That's why I mentioned it - perhaps there is no problem with it but getting something that softens paint on your hands doesn't seem to be that good an idea.
