Default tire dressing

So I'm doing some research, and still have to ask: What is the best stuff to make the tires look almost wet, I've seem it before. I've been using armor-all forever, now to try something new.

I use Armor All - Tire Shine. Seems to work pretty good for me.

It's a tire dressing...no, it's a dessert topping! Sorry, just had to.
I like to use No Touch to clean the tires. It does leave a sheen, but only for a couple of few days. There is another product that works well called (of all names) Tire Wet, made by Black Magic.

tire wet, I've seen that a few times. lol, never really thought of it.

If some of you saw the thread a while back when I posted pics of the car show, the camaro next to me had tires that were very glossy, he showed me what he used, but me having the memory of a goldfish, forgot [:@]

I use stuff called Crystal Blue made by PDP

D119 CRYSTAL BLUE
PREMIUM DRESSING
Crystal Blue is a premium dressing rich with solids that impart an extra high gloss waterproof shine that lasts on tires, rubber moldings, vinyl, and plastic. Great for exteriors and interiors. Contains a fresh fragrance.
