Just spent the afternoon enjoying the sunny weather and removing the wheels and applying "Tuf Shine" to the tires which is a product I bought a few months ago but have had it in the project cue for a while. I read about it online and finally took the time to apply it as directed. I decided to take each wheel off because I wanted to waxoil the back fenders to finish that project but also to clean both sides of the tire and rim of brake dust etc. The kit includes a tire cleaner which works great on getting old silicone etc. out from the rubber (it won't work unless all silicone and dirt is removed) as well as cleaning the rim. The cleaner is used first before applying the treatment. Once the tire is clean and dry, you apply the treatment and let it dry. Repeat for more gloss. This stuff looks really good if you like the gloss look, what is unusual is that it is glossy without being wet like the usual tire products. The before and after pics show the difference, the gloss is totally dry to the touch and is supposed to stay that way with only touch-ups needed in 4-6 weeks. We'll see if that is the case but for now it looks pretty darn nice and was worth missing the first half of the Superbowl 
for. Future maintenance is washing with soap and water and applying another layer of gloss, no more chemical tire cleaning is needed.
