Mothers PowerBall Mini. Using the supplied PowerMetal polish, it works awesome on my polished CCWs. Much better than polishing by hand. I'd give it an A.
Armor All Extreme Tire Gel On looks, its gets an A. It gives them the fresh from the dealer look. On what it does to the side of your car after driving it, it gets an F.
Both sides of the car get little black spots, all over, even after drying overnight. Dissapointing, but, I guess if you put it on at a car show(& didn't drive it), it would be fine.
Just my 2 cents....

You will have the splatter problem from the gels big time, especially if you do not wipe them down a couple of times after applying, it doesn't really dry(gel) this will also take away some of the luster(shine). Tried many myself, still haven't found what I'm looking for. (U2)

I love the PowerBall Mini for polishing the inside of my exhaust tips. Cleaning is easy, too. Just dip the ball into a bucket of soapy water, and run your drill. Move it up and down along the inside of the bucket and it's clean in no time.

The Powerball Mini is awesome! I love that for polishing the wheels on my Camaro.
My Dad bought some stuff from a car show called Stay Black, for black trim, tires, whatevers black. He put it on his boat trailer tires months ago, and they're still shiny black. Even after rain, and putting the trailer in the water. I have yet to put some on my vette tires, but so far that's the closest product i've seen that the coating doesn't fly off and keeps them shiny.
