I've tried armor all (and similar items) on car bodies and it will give the paint a fairly shiny finish. The problem is that it stays really 'greasy' and isn't really the best thing for the task. I highly recommend using some polish or a clear coat instead.

I dip my windsheilds in Future, and let them air dry... does a nice job.

You might want to test it out on an old part first tho.....

For the windows, use Novus #2 polish, or The Treatment model car wax. For the body, get a polishing kit. Micro-Mesh makes a good one, and use Novus #2 polish. Good luck.

i read that you can use armour all to give that shiny tire look but i was wondering if it works on the body and windows.
