I like the Meguiar's Endurane High Gloss Gel, works really well and last for weeks. I also got a pretty decent tire brush applicator from Target for maybe $5 which makes applying the gel a lot easier.

here is what 1Z Einszett Tiefenpfleger looks like. I use it on all rubber and vinyl. Interior under the hood and exterior. It lasts for weeks and doesnt wash off.

My favorite is Lexol's Vinylex. Leaves a nice medium sheen without being oily or slinging all over the place. The great thing is that is can be used in the interior also. Another plus is that it is water based so you don't have to worry about any long-term damage to tires.

I've been using Meguiers gel too but it just shines without any cleaning, I also noticed it builds up with a thick residue over time and needs to be removed. Today I bought a can of Armoral Detailers Advantage Tire Foam it cleans and shines with 50% more silicone than the regular one plus the can now sprays upside down. I used the regular A A tire foam a long time ago and thought this might be better. According to the instructions you spray it on and let it dry for ten minutes, it can be used on both wet and dry tires. I'll report tomorrow.

The good the bad and the ugly
The Good: Product left a great finish while helping to clean too.
The Bad: Must be very careful spraying on to tires
The Ugly: The foam drips down onto the rims and garage floor...makes a freaking mess and is slippery.
If there is a better way to apply this stuff it would be great but I'm not buying it again.

I really like the foam products that clean the tires too but just wish those had an adj. nozzle.

Zaino for me. FWIW, I haven't tried the other products except for Armor-All. What I dislike about Armor-All is that when it wears off, and if you don't use it again for a while, your tires lose that natural "blackness" and are an ugly brown color.
