Can't see your picture but I use Adam's Polishes VRT. This makes tires black! Not so shiny (which I personally don't care for anyway) and not dull. Just black.
I use all Adam's products when detailing my vehicles. The stuff is amazingly easy to use and the results speak for themselves.

I use Black Magic on cars I clean, and for my car I use Armorall, tire foam, doesnt seem to work though, like the next day its dull and it looks like I go through the dirt alot.

I love Maguiar's Hot Shine. Spray it on a tire sponge and liberally apply... it stays put for at least a couple weeks (barring Albuquerque dust storms or rain) and doesn't sling off. It also gives a gorgeous deep black shine.

I use Red Cap Polishes Slick Shine when I want my tires to have that wet drippy look and I use their VRTP Dressing to give it that "new tire" look. Both work great. Check them out.
I stay away from anything with Silicones and petros in it .. browns the tires and cracks them after a while of use. Go with water based like Pinnacle Onyx Gel .. best of the best. Of course use their wheel & tire cleaner (which is 100% harmless) for the entire wheel and tire and wheel well.. then apply the dressing. 303 is good, but doesn't last...
Optimum is good using methicones... but i like the Pinnacle Kit. Expensive but the best of the best. Leaves a nice semi-gloss matte professional new finish that lasts.
Black Magic Tire Gel. Used it since 1995. I use painters brush to apply it. two coats. extremely shiny. Buy it from BJ's wholesale club. comes w/ one big refill bottle and a spray bottle. lasted me a couple years. cheapest way IMO. it does take some time to dry unless its summertime and also takes time to clean off when redressing.
i also use Stoner's More Shine and Meguiar's Hot Shine.

I like Poorboys Bold N Bright but I might have to give the VRT stuff a try next just too compare and contrast. Looks like it's pretty versatile so that's cool and being water based is a huge bonus. I think I might order me some right now.
