Default Tyre shine

Can anyone recommend a product that puts a really glossy shine on tyre walls and lasts for more than a day or two after application?

It would be handy if I could find it in my local Halfords......thanks.

I use Armor All Tire Foam. Lasts well, looks good but not with a wet-look gloss, which is a good thing in my view.

Don't Laugh...

But Tescos do a tyre and bumper shine spray that's been brilliant... Doesn't last forever, but certainly lasts a few weeks, and was at a miserly £1.50 a can.

Megs is very good long lasting but can fling and go a little runny in the sun light.

Finding my regulars love the look and finish of Zaino
