I like Zaino's Z-7 tire dressing, but I'm sure there are others like it. I don't like the high-gloss look, just the clean "new tire" look.

Avoid aerosol sprays, as they tend to be like shellac, get on everything, and ruin your clearcoat. Even when applied carefully, they have a huge fake gloss to them. Last a long time, though -- maybe that's your look.

Z7 is runny stuff, like skim milk. I put it on with a thin sponge, then go around all the tires and wipe off the excess with an old towel. The wheels look nice for weeks, and the stuff seems pretty mild-mannered. I like it.
