have not used armor all for close to ten years now...
imo, armor all was a great product of its time, but it did not evolve- they did not improve even as competition came in. and i might be missing the boat, but have not used any of their products recently.
for gels i like the megs product- think its called endurance (great smell and it will shine like a headlight if you want it that bright!). dont use it often, but dont need to either. any gel will sling if you dont rub it in well and then buff off excess.
i usually use a light rubber/vinyl product - and most recently was using 303 on one of my cars (tires). still rub it in well and buff off excess.

IMHO, just use the Meguires grape jelly. Works great, shines for a week, doesnt run, easy to apply, and cheap.

Hey, wana, why are you rockin 2 wacko badges? You aint that crazy...

The Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel is great. It comes in two "flavors" regular and high gloss. Personally, I like the high gloss because I like my tires super shiny and wet looking.

Recently, I gave DP Tire Gel a shot and have been quite happy with it to this point.

for the Armor All Extreme Shine Gel! Great shine and NO SLING, unless you reeally glob it on there. I too am not a big Amor All fan by any means, but I LOVE the gel! And no it does not smell good, I know...I was dissapointed.
