Tesco own brand tyre and bumper dressing. 99P a can and does a great job. I've tried expensive stuff in the past and can honestly say the tesco stuff is just as good. Nice black tyres and lasts for a while too.

Just stay well clear when wearing your white jeans

I used Turtle Wax Nanotech Tyre Dressing. Seems to do a decent job for me and often on offer at Halfrauds.

Last for bloomin' ages.. weeks at a time on tyres.

Bought a bottle 2 years ago, if not longer, have used about 50% and there's 3 cars regularly washed here, let alone random friends that turn up too wanting cars washed. Does trim and tyres BTW.

Job done
