For tires I use just regular Armor All. Don't wipe off the excess...it will take care of itself.

For the paint I use Eagle 1 Wet car wash. This is not easy to find but I get compliments on the paint every time I use it.

For my tires, I use "Tire Wet" which comes in a pump bottle. It sprays on clear and then I take a paper towel to smooth it around the tire...

I have also used a product called "Tire Endurance" which is a little more oily... It works great too but I don't like the oil factor in this product...

For the car and wheels, I use Meguiar's products... There waxes and polishes can't be beat...

Best Tire treatment = Black Jack thick silicone

Best finish = Liquid Glass

I have tried tire products with silicone and it looks good...but it cakes up and collects dirt very easily. I'm not a fan.

I use the armor all gel with the foam applicator. It comes in the stubby orange ketchup bottle.

I tried the Wolfgang Black Diamond Tire Gel. Used the foam applicator, but even applying just a minimal amount, I still get spots all along the sides of my car when the stuff comes off while I drive. Even when I've let it sit for over 12 hours!
I love the way it looks, but not the way it comes off!
Guess I'll switch back to Armorall

I like Meguiar'snatural shine vinyl and rubber dressing, doesn't attract dust and isn't real glossy...
