Armor All is nasty shit. Its greasy and attracts dust.

I use Zephyr Pro 39. A guy I use to goto school with works at a detail shop so I got it through him. Its awesome stuff, but its expensive ($50 / gallon). It leaves a nice deep wet gloss shine, but its not greasy at all and its dry if you touch it.

Detail shops also use some blue liquid. I don't know the name of it, but I call it blue. Its also awesome shit, but expensive as well.

Hit up your local detail shops and find out what they use.

Oh heres a pic of my friends Supra that I detailed with Zephyr Pro 39:
