I got some Meguir's NXT 2.0 wax. It is fantastic! It works great, gives the paint one heck of a shine, and it even smells good. I coated the tires with Armor All extreme tire gel, it can be a little messy, but its great.
Edit: sorry the pics are a little blurry, I had to turn the flash off, so the camera takes a second or two to capture, and I'm not the steadiest...

 

Looks good. If you were using the applicator from Armor All, then that could be why it was messy. Once I got rid of that, it became a lot easier to apply.

 

yeah, that's what I used. Should I use a cloth or something?

 

I use a sponge to apply the tire gel, let it sit for 15 minutes, then use an old rag to wipe the tire down after.

 

I use Eagle One tire swipes. They are like a couple bucks for a 2 pack from any auto parts store.
