By the way, they have two products to choose from.

Shiny tires for that wet shiny look.

and also

this one

More of a satin look, for those that dont like the wet shiny look.

Both great products.

If you do purchase the product, PM me, as their is a trick to applying this stuff the right way the first time. I learned the hard way, not to apply too much or it flakes right off.

The "tireless shine" product that was previously discussed is made by a chemical company call ed Zep, I believe. It's what they use at most dealerships as well. My father uses it on his G35 and it looks GREAT. You should be able to ask a local car dealer if they can order some for you, as I'm fairly certain it's not available for private sale. GREAT stuff though.
Is this the "tireless shine" you are referring to:

Sounds like you can call their 877# to order, but you may be right about them not selling to the general public.

I just wash them and apply 303. I don't like the super shiny look.

I also have Meg's Endurance. I use Endurance on my wife's car and it works well.

I use Zaino Z-8. One bottom lasts me almost a year (and I use it A LOT). It's not as shiny as other products, but lasts a long time. It will not sling off on the side of your car either.

I always use 303 for the tyres. Not the shiniest/wettest look but I like it

303 is OK and I have used it and like the look but it just does not last all that long and thus the value is so so. As I said before Meguiars endurance lasts between washngs on my S so I can not complain. A number of folks I know have gone back to Amour All original since it has been reformulated and is rleatively cheap compared to all the other products out there.

I use the Meguires endurance gel. I simply apply it at night and let it soak overnight, then the next day I wipe it off with a cloth. You dont get that high gloss look just a deep like new black that lasts a good 2-3 weeks.
