i use Supershine JD, it last up to a week or more, our costumers love it!!! people are so crazy in my country about this product. But i live in the caribean you dont have that product in the USA.
for the meguiars hot shot.
After you aply it let it dry for 30 minutes, the first time you use like 3oz. of the product, after your tires get use to the product you can use 1.5oz
You have to aply it lke if you were brushing it with a sponge or a wax foam aplicator.
any question just ask.

This my sound like a stupid question, but have you really cleaned the tires? What I mean is gotten off ALL the cosmoline (or what ever that crap is on tires when you get them new) off the tires. I don;t mean use some spray and walk away crap I mean spray, scrub and rinse. I am not talking wheels, just tires. You need to use steel wool, SOS pad or a nylon brush with strong brisals with something like Simple Green to get it all off. Spray it on the tire (not the wheel) and start scrubbing buy hand real good. Rinse off and repeat (sounds like a shampoo or something). After all that give it another try. The tire should be grease free and clean, ready for tire dressing.
All I can say is it worked for me. I get about 5-7 days out of tire dressing after using this process.

yeah, I'd try cleaning it first with products like Simple Green, then apply the shine spray. I use Meguairs NXT Insane shine, which last a few days. Should be obvious, but a lot of lasting issue is due to where you drive it. High dust and debris roads will eat away at the shine fast.

What has been working well for me is using Meguiar's Tire Foam to clean the tires. It does a fairly good job of cleaning the tires before I dress them. I usually do it twice. Foam them up, let it sit for a couple minutes untill the foam is gone, throughly rinse and do it again. It will leave the tires with a nice fairly deep black with just a little shine. After the tires dry and dress them. I manually apply the dressing product with a special tire dressing sponge. I do this at night so that it can throughly dry before driving it the next day.
I do this weekly so that the tires don't get a chance to build up much dirt.
And yes, doing the face of the tire is all you want to do.
Good luck, let us know what ends up working for you.

Sucks because this is kinda like a "double edge sword" kinda situation 
You find a product that gives you that wet and greasy shine and it actually stays for more than one day but ......half of that shine ends up on the side of the car anyways 
. Simple fix to that is ....buy a black car 
!!
PS The Meguires Endurance Gel that smells like grape i found to be the wettest and actually lasted a bit but it did have that "spit" on the doors uughh !!
