Whats the best stuff for giving your tyres a long lasting wet look, ive tried countless number of products but as soon as they dry the tyres are dull again!

ok
there are two id say are very good
i dont like the really glossy ones as they tend to sit on tyre wall surface then fling up the side of car
they also tend to dry sidewall out

first is a product called
303 aerospace protectorant is product

get it here

really good nice natural finish that will not wash off with water and lasts really well

my favourite is ZAINO tyre dressing.

get it here

yes you do

it lasts ages
my current bottle is 3 years old

goes miles and miles

and cuz its durabe it lasts longer on tyres and doesnt come off as soon as it gets wet
it also feeds tyre wall and prevents cracking and drying out

it is very very good

it is applied to sidewall not tyre surface
i have seen some gels/sprays etc that contain alot of silicone and these would if applied to road touching surface make things slippy but both ones i have mentioned above if applied to sidewall will not give any probs or fling up side of car
here pic of zaino applied to rear tyre
