I use Armor All and it leaves my tires looking really good. Haven't had an issue with the nozzle plugging to date.
 
I love McKee's 37 Gloss Tire Gel! It's non-petroleum, contains UV protection, doesn't attract dirt, it lasts for quite a while and doesn't sling off. Just bought another gallon earlier this month. I use a paint brush to apply it and use dawn soap with water to clean it. Typically apply it 2-3 times/yr for the past 4 plus years. Prior to applying, you need to clean the tires and typically needs two coats. I full time, never cover my tires and the side walls really look great. You'll also find they sell quite a lot of detailing products.
 
I also like nice looking tires but do it differently.
I clean my tires with "Super Clean". The stuff in the purple jug.
Get the tire wet, dip a stiff brush in a pan of Super Clean and scrub. You can see the dirt and grime come out of the pores of the tires. The soap turns brown. It usually takes 2-3 rinse & scrubs to get that new look.

I appreciate all of the input for the tires.
Another question for all: what and how do you clean your rims. I am just using soap and a brush to clean them only. Noticed a few things need a little my elbow grease but wanted to see what you guys use.

Like you, just soap and water with a microfiber cloth then wipe dry with a microfiber. Sometimes use Wash Was All with a microfiber cloth.

Just for clarification...when I said "the stuff from Armor All", I was referring specifically to their Ceramic coating...terrible dispenser problem, but the product itself was ok when I ripped the can open and applied it with a sponge...PITA.

Old school Armor-All, IMHO, has been long surpassed by other offerings like 303. But it sure brings memories of the 70's back! ;-)
 
OK...I trust you...a two pack it is! I apply the dressing for looks only. IMHO the price is right on this stuff so if it works that's even better. Blessings

Adam’s Graphene Tire Dressing
Adam’s Tire and Rubber Cleaner

BTW, I’ve used their VRT dressing, religiously, on dozens of vehicles over the last 5 years. And, while it is awesome stuff, it’s no match for the dryness and longevity of the ceramic/graphene dressings.
My Rubber Cleaner and Tire Dressing both arrived today. So much for Amazon Prime 2-day delivery.
