Back in the day when I used Armor All, it left a slimy residue. I recently bought a can Cover All, under the recommendation of the parts store, stipulating that I didn't want slime. He assured me it wouldn't and went out to the Burb and hosed down the plastic cap on the front bumper, he said to leave it alone, it won't be slimy . . .
It was slimy. On the bright side, I did figure out that IF it's used sparingly, it does help restore the color and luster, but you've got to go through a carwash to get rid of the slime. The luster lasts for quite a while.
I'm actually on the hunt for non-slimy products, in case you couldn't tell,
so if you've got good ones to recommend, toss 'em out there.
I did see Mother's CMX being talked about here a little while back, but have not had time to dig back into detailing products.
I used to work at O'Reilly when younger. Trust me, we were pushed like [censored] to sell Cover-All. There were monthly sales competitions actually for Cover-All.
That stuff is trash, though. All the commercial car wash places loved it though. One guy told me that Cover-All is the bread-and-butter of his business. He always offered "free" tire shine for car wash customers, and sprayed down their tires with it. It looked great, but it was slimy as you said and would sling all over the car. And that would make the customer have to return for another car wash within a week.
Take that how you will.
