Have had good success with Meguiars High Endurance Tire Gel. I allow several hours (sometimes overnight) cure time. Here's a pic:

D163 Tire and trim Gel is one that I would recommend. It's gloss level can be controlled based on the number of coats. It is a water based dressing so it's durability for me has been 3-4 weeks.

The new hot shine Reflect product just came out. May want to consider that.

If you want the absolute durability you would need to invest in a tire coating. These would last months.

Currently our most premium option is our Ultimate Black Tire Coating.

A tire gel can be a little more tedious than a trigger spray or aerosol option, but having a good foam applicator pad can make a difference in ease of use, like our X3070 Soft Foam Applicator Pad. A small amount of Endurance Tire Gel is all that is needed. I typically will wear some disposable gloves when cleaning wheels, tires, and wheel wells, it can get pretty grimey depending on how dirty they are.

Also don't forget that cleaning of the tires is important from time to time, with an all purpose cleaner like our D10101 All Purpose Cleaner or even our M3916 Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner. I usually take the time to clean my tires every other week. This will work to remove dirt from the tire sidewall and any remaining conditioner left on the tire. Rinse thoroughly, dry, and then allow the tires to fully dry before applying any tire conditioner product.

Agreed with Guz on the d163. Awesome shine and durability as well. Another favorite of mine is d160 all season dressing. These 2 are my go to for tire shine.
I'm sure your aware that tire prep is key as well. So scrub and clean really well. Sometimes I'll clean a tire 3 or 4 times to get it super clean but just like painting prep is the key to get great results out of anything.

No Touch foam spray, get a 4 can pack at Costco.
