armorall makes your car all slick and greasy. i'll never use it again. thats for the inside anyway.
just wash and wax your car, that should make it look spiffy.

Wax on, wax off. Give it several layers.

You can't have a really shiny car if you plan to drive it

You have two options do it by hand or buy a random orbital buffer/polisher. Porter Cable makes the widely revered polisher (it's not a buffer).

Here's a pretty solid how-to

I didn't mean you can't drive a shiny car, just that you have to re-shine pretty frequently.
